AI for test e 500mgs a week?

No one can tell you if you will actually need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) as in if sides from estro will appear, but yes they can and , just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean you don't have high estro.
Don't get me wrong, some elevated estro while on cycle is not a bad thing, a lot people get a lot of strength from water retention caused by estro, but its also not good to have high levels of it.
Do like mentioned above, wait a couple weeks and start with a very low dose, .25mg eod is a good place to start, if you start to get gyno bump to .5mg. Some guys run as much as 1mg a day but I can't handle 1mg eod. If you crash estro, especially on arimidex, you will know, your joints will start to hurt in a lot of places. It can cause bad anxiety, panic attacks, lethargy, etc. high estro can cause a lot of similar sides, no libido, limp dick, all kinds of things.
Guys on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) which is typically 150mg a week are prescribed up to 1mg a day of arimidex, which is to much in my opinion but then again it depends on a lot of factors.
Can you gain fat easily, or can you eat all day, stay lean and even lose weight? Guys with high body fat produce more aromatase enzymes, which means you will convert more test to estrogen, and typically need more of an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), but no matter what dose of test you are on, your body can only use so much, and its a lot less than people think. Your free test is what's being used by your body, the rest and majority is bound to shbg and albium, which convert test to estro and some is converted to DHT as well.

Banned SCAMMER- do not buy
I only have about 2% body and I think im going to get a Aromatase inhibitor (AI) just in case. I heard that it makes you not gain as much muscle when taking an AI? I have read that in a few threads on here. I dont know how true that is though. What do you guys think?
Sir Anabolic
JUST GROW.
To each their own. 1g test, I don't need any.

About 2% bodyfat? That's physically impossible.
I don't think it will inhibit gains at all if used properly, but it would cause a reduction in water retention which is a reduction in weight. Not the weight you want anyways though.
It does not effect muscle gains. That's bs Internet myth. M
An Aromatase inhibitor (AI) simply prevents estro by attaching to the aromatase enzyme not allowing conversion, but will detach at some point. Or you can use aromisin that permanently attaches, it's called suicidal, but your body makes more.
People "THINK" it's effecting gains because its helping to keep the bloat or water weight off, that's not muscle, it doesn't inhibit muscle in any way. Estro is needed and will result in some of the strength you get, but its managed for many reasons, not just so you don't look bloated, or gyno prevention, but it helps maintain normal blood pressure,
Use a small dose, if you think you are 12% you are most likely 15%bf and have a good amount of aromatase.

I disagree. It has nothing to do with opinion and everything to do with keeping estrogen within an acceptable range. Blood work is the key to dial in your AI.

You should ALWAYS have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand.
so no you should get one.
could you? sure, but its not smart since you dont know how you react with it. and every time can differ anyway.
have it on hand if not using it from day one.

agreed, though you can judge buy bloat /gyno and BP. most are not checking their estro on cycle with a million blood tests. i do 2-4 a year.
I rec from day one if using super high doses

you might not "need it" but i assure you it would be alot better for your health to keep estro norm on 1g + or even 500mg+.

I dont agree
its personal CHOICE sure. just like smoking or drinking is.... doesnt mean not using it is the way to go.
Gyno is not the only reason for using an AI.

My question is should I use .25 EOD of Anastrozole or .5 EOD?
Weeks 1-12 Test E 500mg (Pinning 250mg on Mon. and 250mg on Thurs)
Weeks 1-12 Deca 250mg (pinning once a week on Mon.)
