Aromitase Inhibitors vs. Nolvadex?

[gorillahung]

OK, I'm old school and was out of the entire lifting world for a while but I'm back now and some things have changed. I have always used nolvadex on cycles to prevent the dreaded gyno. I just now read about arimidex and other aromitase inhibitors. If I got correct information, the aromitase inhibitors simply just stop all conversion of test to estrogen while nolvadex just blocks the estrogen receptors. Therefore a person only using nolvadex could still have other problems caused by estrogen such as the bloated look and "moon face". Is this correct? If so, an aromitase inhibitor would be far superior to nolvadex. Or should you use both?

you are correct. a SERM only bandaids (covers up) the issue and prevents one thing from high estro. use an AI like 0.25-0.5mg eod of dex on cycle . something along those lines.

The problem is arimidex seems quite expensive. I would love to do a test cycle without getting the negatives from estrogen.

What about using nolvadex and an ai both at the same time ?
