Questions about my second cycle

[Hebre690]

Im about to start a second cycle and i have so many questions I've been researching about for months now. I originally only did test-e 500mg a week with arimidex .5 mg EOD for my first. But it came with so much bloating. People were saying my face ballooned outta proportion. Now my second cycle I'm nervous about even doing test e for the same reason. My second cycle is going to be
Test e 500mg week 12 weeks
Winstrol 50mg day for 8 weeks
Arimidex .5 or 1mg EOD
1. Now i know orals only is frowned upon, but would doing winstrol only for 8 weeks be alright, or do i have to throw in the test e.
2. My second question is should i up the arimidex to 1mg EOD or should i stick to .5mg EOD and find alternatives to help combat bloating.
3. Should i stop, or lower the arimidex when i start winstrol. I want to start winstrol after my fourth week.
4. Should my main focus be cutting, or is it better to focus on high protein while staying at a slight caloric surplus to build muscle and shed some fat in the process (i know that sounds dumb)

You should be getting bloodwork to see where you’re estrogen is. Don’t guess and start throwing more Arimidex down your throat. Also look at your diet and sodium intake as that can cause bloating. Also you don’t need 500mg of testosterone. Again that’s where bloodwork comes in to see where your levels are at a particular dose.

I would lower the test to 350-400mg per week, and consider 12.5mg aromasin eod instead of adex. Don't go oral only.

Ill give 400 a try if it keeps my bloat down... and i did think about buying aromasin, but i have so much adex on supply.

1. i certainly dont recommend oral only cycles but thats up to you
2. bloodwork determines your ai dose
3. winstrol is NOT a substitute for an ai and its pretty clear, at least from what you describe, that you are estrogen prone so i have zero clue as to why you would think/assume you would drop your ai when you start winstrol...
4. thats p to you on what you want to accomplish

You can try upping the adex dosage and checking your bloodwork, but it sounds like you may be estrogen sensitive, and aromasin woyld work much better because it's a suicide inhibitor .

You say NOTHING about yourself. Start with that.

i would not do winny at all regardless

if you want to run something by itself do tbol, var or sarms

there isn't a law or rule that you must use testosterone, if you bloat on it and hate it then don't use it.. simple
