1/2 tab EOD should do great. I have heard of people using 1/4 tab EOD with grea results. Best of luck!

DISPUTING THE DOGMA
If you are unlucky like me 1mg wont even work with a gram. I used 1mg daily with a gram and started geting very itchy and soar nipples. I upped the dosage to 2mg a day and even did 3mg for 2 days. Nothing would really work. I stopped the cycle short and got a little bit of gyno which is now slowyl going a way (but my nipples got alittle bit larger which is permanet and annoying).
I think arimidex is way overated when it comes to using dosages over 500mg of testosterone. I just don't see how 1mg of anything can compete with 1000mg of something else for the same receptors (the aromatase enzyme). It doesn't make any sense. I have looked at studies about arimidex that have come out recently that show that, in dosages commonly used (1/2-1mg) it is effective in cutting out ONLY ABOUT 50 percent of estrogen production in men who don't even use steroids! I think that the whole arimidex thing is way hyped up and people will start to realize this soon. Its a relatively new drug and when everyone saw the results of how it inhibited 80 percent of aromatase enzymes in postmenopausal women they went hog wild and thougt that the same thing would happen in men who are taking 100s of milligrams of testosterone per week. THe price has only perpetuated it mythic status. There are tons of people on this board who complain that there arimidex isn't working and guys just ignore them, as if it doesn't even register because they have all been brain washed to beleive that arimidex in dosages of .5-1mg will wipe out estrogen completely nomatter what, PERIOD. Most studies show that arimidex only wipes out estrogen in men, exactly where you don't want it wiped out, in the brain. The bottom line is that alot of guys that support it and use it are the guys that haven't used high dosages with it yet or are genticaly gifted in the gyno departemrt and would never really get the stuff anyways. Don't get me wrong, I think that it is a great drug for dosages of test 500mgs and under, but if you are prone to gyno I don't thnk it wil really work with dosages of test that are 1 gram or over. I just don't see how 1mg of it can effectively compete with all the extra testosterone in order to bind to the aromatase receptors effectively.
There is a new thing coming out called aromasin which is everything arimidex is supposed to be. THat stuff will really do the trick. It comes in tabs of 25mg. IT will hit the black market in the next couple of months. I can't wait!

What kind of Badger would say the arimidex competes for a receptor and then call that receptor an enzyme? You are right, arimidex does only inhibit 50% of the estrogen in a male body and it has been shown to increase test levels by 58% at the same time. Which is good because if it blocked too much estrogen it would inhibit your gains. You need some E to bring a little water to those muscles so they can grow. Arimidex is still the best product there is to inhibit E, but anyone who thinks it will inhibit ALL E and absolutely stop everyone who takes it from getting gyno no matter how much test they take is mistaken. It's not bulletproof. But I will say this if you get gyno while you are taking arimidex you are extremely sensitive and would have no chance without it. If you use test, take it.
"We investigated the metabolic effects of selective estrogen suppression in the male using a potent aromatase inhibitor, Arimidex (Anastrozole). First, a dose-response study of 12 males (mean age, 16.1 +/- 0.3 yr) was conducted, and blood withdrawn at baseline and after 10 days of oral Arimidex given as two different doses (either 0.5 or 1 mg) in random order with a 14-day washout in between. A sensitive estradiol (E2) assay showed an approximately 50% decrease in E2 concentrations with either of the two doses; hence, a 1-mg dose was selected for other studies"

Sorry about the tits Horny. I held little or no water on 500 eq and 750 sust. Haven't used a gram yet but it's next.
There are many competitors who use it with great success. You have to watch how you interpret research.
The fact that AS even worked wasn't agreed on by researchers that many years ago.
It may not have worked with you, but drugs impact everyone differently. We have people on this board who have done over a gram, plus other AS, and had good results.

I agree with what alot of what you are saying. I am just trying to get the message across that it is not "bulletproof", like you said. The more testosterone that is used theexponentialy less effective it is because of having to compete with all the testosterone for the receptors on the aromatase enzymes (why do you think you can't say enzymes have receptors?).
I think that 50 percent estrogen inhibition is not enough. Lets say you will get roughyl 40 pg/ml of estrogen in your system per week fo every 100mg of test that you shoot (at higher dosages there is probably more estrogen made per 100mg because there are les pathways availabel to the testosterone other than conversion to estrogen). If you shoot 1000mg you can get an estradiol level in your system of 400pg/ml, this is high even for a woman. This is pure speculation and I don't know if estradiol prodced from testosterrone has a linear relationsip like this or not. But, anyways if you cut 400pg/ml in half you still get 200pg/ml which is a heafty dosage of estrogen that would be found in your typical ovulating woman. having This much estrogen in the body that is free to interact with your estrogen recpetors is not agood thing in my opinion. THis is why I don't like arimidex alone with using dosages of test of 1 gram or over.
hey horny im a true believer in arimidax.im very gyno prone and had to have it cut out, thank god my insurance covered it.even at dosages of 500mg of test my tits would be double the size, big and puffy but now im on 1500mg of test i was also using 50mg dbal 300mg eq 600mg durabolin and 1/2 of arimidax a day and no signs of gyno.no itchiness no puffyiness and little water retention, i probbaly needed to up the dosage when on the dball because i was still bloaded but now that i switched to anavar .50 is plenty.im not going by scientific facts, just by experience.maybey yours was fake

It wasn't fake, I had 3 diferent boxes from 3 different sources and alternated between them everyday. Maybea you aren't getting gyno because you had the mammary galnds cut out? Check your upper legs/hips when yo sit down. Is there alot of fat right where the leg connects to you pelvis?
