500mg/week test e cycle, arimidex needed?

[tryn2grow]

Do you guys think that i need to be taking anti e's through this whole cycle or just pct?

i'm doing 8 weeks at 500mg a week divided in two shots.

some say liquidex through the whole thing, but money is a problem right now so i don't wanna spend money that isn't a must. I will if i have to though.

so let me know what you think about this. i'm kind of leaning towards just having nolvadex on hand just in case i run into gyno problems.

Not sure, but I bet people are gonna tell you that 8 weeks isn't long enough for a test only cycle?

 

[ricorico]

nolva will prevent any gyno.. I personally dont have too much a prob with water retention at 500mgs a week so adex isnt a mandatory item for me at that dosage....def have nolva tho...

 

[tryn2grow]

i agree that 8 may be short but it might end up being ten depending on gains vs. sides

 

[benny1970]

If he wants to take adex to prevent any water retention, is there anything wrong with that? What is the downside of blocking estrogen with adex?

i'm curious about that as well, cause i have read a little about adex ruining some of the muscle buidling of a test cycle. i thought a lil water retention was good and would go away at the end of a cycle. i just don't want to have to much water retention and def don't want gyno

I personally would not bother unless you are really sensitive to gyno.

Arimidex can make your lipid profile worse while on it, but I have never heard of it reducing gains.

YOU ALWAYS NEED ANTI-Es DURING A TEST CYCLE

if you don't have money, don't run a cycle - half assing it is not smart. I would run .25mgs ED arimidex minimum.

 

[bigmann245]

its a shame that people will ask if 250mg of test is ok or is just 20mg of dbol good because they just got their hands on some. most likely a friends leftovers. never the less, like Mr X said, dont half ass a cycle. i bought my entire cycle and had to wait until i got all of it before i started. then i was told i had to wait on nolva. so here i had a killer cycle i am itching to start but i waited until i had the nolva before i took one pill or one shot. you only have 1 life, dont fuck it up there are no second chances.

 

[bigmann245]

not a flame to you tryn2grow. that was a generalized statement. but yes get the nolva, the liquidex is up to your preference. i am doing nolva throughout my cycle and clomid/hcg post cycle. im not taking any chances.

Arimidex blocks the enzyme aromatase, subsequently blocking the production of estrogen.

Nolvadex binds to estrogen receptors so estrogen is blocked from exerting any action.

So, use Arimidex throughout a cycle to prevent gyno, but use Nolvadex if you think you may be getting it.

 

[tryn2grow]

well i guess i'm gonna go with the liquidex during the cycle and i have hcg and alri impact pct for post cycle.

my last cycle was test/deca and i didn't use any anti-e's during it and just used alri's impact after it and i was fine and didn't lose any gains and seemed like i got the boys working very quickly

 

[tryn2grow]

i'll tell ya what though this roid world is a confusing one. everyone has their opinions on everything. i've had a lot of ppl tell me that nolvadex throughout a cycle isn't that great of an idea and liquidex is much better then there is clomid, ferma, etc. i'm gonna try to scrap a bit of loot together an go 500mg for 10wks with .5 of ldex eod. any objections?

 

[tryn2grow]

this brings up another quesation that i have
if the cycle is 10 weeks, and pct starts week 12. am i supposed to be taking ldex through the cycle and pct or do i just take it weeks 1-10 and stop everything for weeks 11 and 12?

go with .25mg ED instead of .5mg EOD

 

[steelmass]

Will Arimidex hurt his gains if he takes it .25mg ED throughout the whole cycle...?

Btw bro yes you should take a nolva or clomid weeks 11 and 12... I prefer nolva...

 

[tryn2grow]

ok i'm trying to get this sorted out

wks1-10: .25 adex ed and 500mg test/week
wk11: nothing
wk 12: start pct

..

no, it wont, that's a common bodybuilding myth....

correct

 

[tryn2grow]

thanx Mr. x you've been a lot of help

btw has anybody else ever tried or heard of alri impact pct? i used it for my first cycle and it seemed like it worked pretty damn good to me cause the deca was making it nearly impossible to get hard for the last few weeks but as soon as i started taking that alri stuff i was working in no time.

 

[Bulldog_10]

Run the a-dex through the PCT as well. And I know you said money is tight, but starting the a-dex before the cycle would be helpful too.

The other POSSIBLE negatives of A-Dex are:

1) reduces water retention, which can inhibit strength gains

2) If T can't aromatize, it will find another conversion pathway (ie, DHT) so if MPB runs in the fam, might wanna look into proscar as well.

3) You won't grow bitch tits, so if you're single and need some titties to rub...leave the arimidex out.
