Do I need a aromatase inhibitor for my cycle?

[scoot538]

My first cycle is most likely going to look like this.

Test Enanthate or Sustanon. What is better and safer?
500mg/ml
for 8 or 10 weeks. Not sure yet. What is recommended?
500iu HCG every week
25mg Nolvadex PCT for 4 weeks

I would prefer not to have spend the money to buy an aromatase inhibitor like Letrozole or Arimidex to have on hand just in case becuase I have heard that this is not necessary for a cycle like this. Is this true? Would it be stupid not to buy an aromatase inhibitor? Are the side effect reversable or once you get the are they there for good (ex. gynecomastia)?

With that dose an AI is not really needed. The HCG isn't needed but it's so cheap so why not. I like to run it and keep my balls. If you want to keep an AI on hand just in case of gyno get some letro. It is very strong and is better ar reducing gyno than arimidex.

My first cycle was test-e @ 500mg/wk for 12 weeks with t-bol weeks 1-4 @50mg ED. Gained 30 lbs kept 24.

yup as long as you got it on hand your good to go.

Have it on hand just in case. I ran A-dex at .5ml's eod on my 400 mg's of sust/week and stopped in week 5 due to sore joints. To date I have had no signs of gyno.

The Sustanon generally can be run without an AI do to it more even spread (anecdotally speaking)


Test E and Cyp seem to cause a bit of Retention


Diet shoudl be clean and perfect first, if you bloat after that THEN you need an AI

I would use Sustanon if I were to do a 8-10 week cycle. Aromatase Inhibitor is always good to have on hand. Arimidex would suit you good for using strictly Test, if you even need it at all. If you are going to do a larger cycle you may opt for Letro as it is much more powerful.

Exactly, always good to have. Don't want any man-boob action going!
