Use aromasin not adex
You run aromasin 12.5mg eod at first and if estrogen sides show then up it to 12.5mg ed
Its quite simple... Aromatase inhibitor... Keeps estrogen down and helps to prevent gyno... Will keep bloating down which is caused by increased estrogen... How frequent you take it differentiates from person to person... Arimidex merely supresses estrogen while aromasin is a suicide inhibitor and kills the estro... Aromasin is a much better option

I think the main problem here is differentiating between Arimidex and an Aromatase Inhibitor.
Neither of which are essential in most cases while on cycle with Nolva and Clomid clearing up PCT.
Personally i've always kept Arimidex on hand during cycle just in case, but have never had to use, whereas some people are just pre-disposed to estrogenic sides and can benefit from either or.
Both will work fine but don't run them alongside your cycle till u notice sides where treatment is required as there is still some dispute as to their inhibiting affect on cycle.

Nah you've pretty mch nailed it in one with the bloat and b1tch-tits lol
Best of luck bro!
Best of luck bro!
I disagree. Why allow sides to surface when you can control estrogen from the start? Running a moderate dose of aromasin eod won't hurt or hinder gains one bit so why not?
A lot of newbs that wait on using an a.i. until sides surface end up abandoning their cycle because the sides freak them out. Control the estro from the start an sleep easy
i keep seeing 12.5mg cited as a starting point..for moderate dosage, would 12.5 mg eod be about right in your estimation?
thank you, sir!
Bro i already explained this and i get tired of repeating myself... 12.5 eod is starting and if you find thats not enough then go ed... You will be able to tell if its not enough... EVERYONE is different on what they need! Do yourself a favor and dont let anyone tell you it will kill your gains... If you overdo it then it will be a hinderance but doing it accordingly to the necessity of YOUR body will only help... Trust me, you want and need some estrogen but theres a fine line and too much will cause you a lot of issues... Just dose it accordingly
yeah, i'd read guys talking about it inhibiting gains, but i hadn't heeded it, figuring better safer than sorry was the better option and that appropriate doses shouldn't inhibit anything.
i didn't mean to tire you, man, lol, i just didn't recall having a previous exchange with you re. a starting dose for aromasin, although i'd seen 12.5 eod cited frequently elsewhere .. just to clarify, you are advocating use of aromasin throughout cycle? or only if required?
I use it no matter what and thats what i recommend
noted and will be heeded. i was already leaning to that policy besides. thanks for your patient advice bro.
Anytime bro
Personally I think you are looking at this all wrong.
The side effect that adex is meant to combat is called elevated estrogen. When asking if its better to take during cycle or only when sides appear is misleading because by the time you exhibit physical side effects of too much estrogen taking an AI is not going to address the large amount of estrogen currently in your system, it will only prevent the addition of more. The existing E your just going to have to wait for your body to metabolize.
The question you should be asking yourself is "What is the benefit of elevated estrogen?". Unless your post menopausal woman or have undergone a sex change and dont have the equipment to produce female levels of E, then the answer is "There is no benefit for a man to have elevated estrogen".
So if there is no benefit of having elevated estrogen, why flood your body with it in the first place and subject your body to the sides, seen or unseen?
As to whether you use adex, exemestane, letro etc its kind of like asking should I use a 50 cal to shoot that rodent or a .45? They are all going to get the job done and the job we want done isnt total estrogen elimination, its estrogen control. Ideally we want our estrogen levels while on cycle to be close to what they are when off cycle (assuming they are in normal lab range).
I say use the AI you can get and that works for you.

the way the question was put was rather naive, granted, and i agree. better to prevent than need to cure.
i was reflecting a school of thought that had been put to me by a poster on this forum and a personal friend of mine who had both stated that they only used an AI 'when needed', ie. when sides showed.
part of my interest in starting the thread was to hear more about posters' experiences and their preferences based on those.
the posts of jbranken and dylan helped fully clarify my own thinking on the subject, but your input is appreciated still.
I understand I may not have given you dosages, that had already been provided, so my goal was different. My goal was to try and educate you that high E serves no purpose so "when needed" is in actuality "when E is elevated" which turns out to be every time you run an aromatizing AAS.
The problem with the typical ill use it when I see sides is that often times by then its too late. I would say most of the people here making gyno posts followed that line of thought.
AI's are so cheap and easy to come by there really isnt any reason not to use them throughout cycle. There is some bro science floating around that AI reduce gains but thats nothing but anecdotal BS since its largely based on "previous cycle" results. The truth of the matter is muscle becomes harder and harder to gain the more you have.
