Arimidex during cycle?

[bivk]

Wondering if taking arimidex ED/EOD will hinder the results from the cycle?

The cycle will run like

30mg dbol 1-4
500 sust 1-10
300 deca 1-10

I can only see Ante E's as good..

I don't know if my information is wrong, but I thought estrogen helps build mass as well, and using arimidex will stop production of estrogen causing hinders in weight gain.

True or not?

It wont stop it. Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt adex used for bloat also? And I think this was for progesterone related gyno also not an anti-e, let me look it up.

I believe it is a misconception because the estrogen causes a water gain. you would gain an extra amount of weight that was only water. so this seems like it is more of a gain, but it is only water...

"Anastrozole operates by blocking the aromatase enzyme, the primary enzyme for the conversion of testosterone to estrogen."

"ften times during a cycle most will want to allow for some estrogen, since it heavily promotes strength and gains as well (increases GH, upgrades the androgen receptor, improves glucose utilization). These people will generally opt for an estrogen receptor antagonist such as Nolvadex (tamoxifen) or Clomid (Clomiphene). These products do not stop the formation of estrogen, but stop the estrogen from exerting its effects by competitively taking up the receptors for this hormone. This allows them to stop any problems dead in their tracks, acting very fast, but upon discontinuation allowing for immediate influx of estrogen again as well."

So the question is do I take it EOD, or just use nolva when I have some type of gyno symptoms?

I would love to see some side by side comparisons.. about 2 months after cycle.
guy using ani e's compared to non.. i believe gains would be same..
as far as lean muscle mass.. but the guy with no anti es is going to have more fat..
and more possible sides.. Durring cycle yes total weight may be more.. and totat strength may be a little more.. but end result.. ??

using adex at the doses its commonly used at will not completly stop estrogen production. it will lessen it so you don't get bloated as much and have a lesser chance of getting other estrogen related sides, i.e. tits and all that. i used it .5mg eod. when on 30mg of dbol i still hold a decent amout of water but held very little on 700mg of sust.

I think it's a good idea to use it. Looking at your cycle I suggest you use 0.5mg of Arimidex eod and see how your water/fat retention is. If you're not happy with it, bump it up to ed.
