Sensible Anti-E help needed

rescued · #1 (**permalink**) 12-03-2002, 06:53 AM

Bros, someone please tell me in plain english what dosages of what anti-e's has been most successful for you. I have completed several cycles of at moderate doses, but am going to step it up a bit in my next cycle. Will probably run 1g of Test E per week, 400 mg of EQ per week, and maybe some Tren, Winny, or D-Bol. I have never had gyno problems before, and usually keep Nolva on hand just in case. I always take Clomid close to cycle end to kick start my own production. Break down some sensible doses of Arimidex and Nolvadex for me, and pros and cons of the two. Looking for any input I can get. Will Arimidex hinder any gains? Please HELP!

Well, I'm very prone to e-related gyno. Also want to prevent bloat as it makes me look like the Pillsbury Doughboy =) and wreaks havoc on my BP.

Nolvadex hinders IGF-1, that's why most only take it "if necessary." Arimidex is a good choice as it either marginally increases IGF-1 or doesn't affect (depending on what report you read). Letrozole (MY CHOICE) increases IGF-1 and does and xcelent job of preventing bloat!!!

I'm on 150mg TNE ED and 1/2 tab of letrozole ED does the job very nicely!

Any reduction in estrogen will very slightly reduce your gains bro. This is because estrogen has some positive effects on other hormones such as IGF. I do not believe the reduction in gains is significant though.

What I would do is just keep the nolva and maybe arimdex on hand. If you've never had gyno problems before then you may not even at high doses. Some bros never get gyno no matter what they use. I would keep the anti-e's on hand and just use them if you suspect gyno or if the bloat becomes too bad. 20mg of nolva per day is usually more than enough for most people. 1mg of a-dex eod is a common dose.
