How to find out which AI works best for you?

[KEE123]

Hi guys, as you've probably seen from the title i'm struggling with deciding on which AI to use for my first cycle.
Arimidex or aromasin.. torn between the 2, I've heard so many great things about both but it all comes down to what works best for you, you won't know this until you have used both but my question is..

Can i run an AI before my cycle to figure out which i respond better to?

Should i start my dosage high and taper down slowly until i feel less side effects, this way i could find my sweet spot?
( i know this could be different with aromasin as it takes a week to stabilise )

I know these forums are full of knowledgable people or who've had experience with this so any feedback would be highly appreciated, thanks for your time!

For myself speaking,,,I prefer LETROZOLE. I have used a ARIMIDEX with exceptional results as well.
I think the biggest things with AI's is getting the dosage down,,,it doesn't take much and MANY people
take far too much than we as bodybuilders/athletes need.

Can i run an AI before my cycle to figure out which i respond better to? No, You cannot do this. Your response with exogenous androgens in the mix is a whole different ballgame.

Should i start my dosage high and taper down slowly until i feel less side effects, this way i could find my sweet spot? No you should start off at a sensible dosage based on your cycle (people here can give you a good starting point if you lay out your cycle for them) and get blood work half way through cycle to see how your ai dosing is working.

I have had great success with both anastrozole and exemestane. Both work extremely well. There is actually very minimal differences for me. I currently use exemestane and have for about the last 3 years now. Switched from anastrozole. If the need arose I could switch back to anastrozole in the blink of an eye and not skip a beat.
Exemestanes better side effect/safety profile was appealing to me thus my switching from anastrozole. Turns out in my blood work there is very little difference in the two.

I prefer aromasin.

So you think either one would work well for me? the reason im more drawn towards aromasin is because its a type 1 inhibitor and doesn't interfear with Nolvadex therefore i could use it during PCT without any problems.. there would be nothing worse than starting a cycle only to find out the AI im running doesn't have any effect on me and then catching gyno, thats why i thought to maybe try both before the cycle or should i just go with it and use one or the other?

I think any of them will work for you.

It's called experimentation. Keep a daily or weekly log.
Do a cycle and then try the aromasin after the cycle. Log the effects. Then do another cycle then try Arimidex. Log the effects. Then compare the two and then you will have your answer.
