arimidex needed?

[BXNY]

Looking to run just a straight 10wk 500mg Test-E cycle.

Is arimidex needed or will the nolva and clomid be enough?

EDIT:
I'm following one of the cycles recommended here with:
wk 1-10 500mg test-e
wk 1-16 20mg ed nolva
wk 12-16 clomid @300 first day/100ed 2 weeks/50ed 2 weeks

I didn't see arimidex in there which is why I'm asking. Is this cycle hot enough to require it?

Welcome to the site before u start on ur cycle u should look at the stickys.

Welcome to the site before u start on ur cycle u should look at the stickys.

I saved them and printed em all out, I got 11 packets that I've read multiple times. The arimidex, how I understood it was something that I'd want to use with a test/deca stack. I'm just not sure if it'd be needed for a first cycle with only test-e.


Thanks for the welcome, I've learned a lot!

if you took arimidex in a test deca cycle it would be for the test. I don't think you will use it for the 500 test cycle but it would be safe to have it on hand.

Well I'm not a pro at this stuff but from all my reading test e for first cycle , armidex for Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and nova and clomid for post cycle therapy (pct) or u can use aromasin hope I spelled it right. Even if u think u don't need a Aromatase inhibitor (AI) I wouldn't do a cycle without it. Just imagine if u need one and u r not able to get it ! Dude ur fuked

So the arimidex is more of an emergency solution- but the nolva should keep things fairly kosher, right?

Dude listen to me son get the armidex even if ur not going to use it. Why not have it. Remember if u gonna do a cycle u wanna have everything u need. Nova ain't no armidex!

I'll pm back when I get the posts up.

I'm mid 20's, been lifting 8-9 years. 215/6'1" @10%

I've been at 210-220 for 3 years now and want to bust past my plateau. My buddy recommended a cycle to begin with, after I researched here I found out it was the same cycle listed in the beginner cycle pages. So I'm gonna go with it.

What type of liftin program style u use. U might be too young for a cycle don't wanna come out wrong

 

[BXNY]

I run a 4 day split. Wed and weekend off.

I would run Arimidex or Aromasin during cycle, (1-12 if Adex, 1-16 if Aromasin), and save the Nolvadex for post cycle therapy (pct). Also, 300mg of Clomid is going to make you feel like absolute shit (just what I've read) so perhaps a post cycle therapy (pct) of 40/40/20/20 Nolva might be best with a smaller dose of Clomid, but for a 10 week cycle it's probably not a big deal. An Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will help control the bloat on cycle as well, and won't be as hepatoxic as Nolva. Take this for what it's worth though, I'm just some random guy on the internet.

I made it about 9 weeks before my nipples started to itch on my first cycle(blast). I used adex 2xweek @.5mg for 2-3 weeks and was fine.

Sounds like your stats are nice, but food(or lack of) is your problem...

 

[BXNY]

So, drop nolva completely from the cycle and just use it for PCT while adding arimidex .5mg eod while on cycle and run the arimidex through to the end of the PCT (or should I stop at the end of the cycle?)

Meanwhile, drop the 300mg of clomid on the first day and just run a standard split of nolva @ 40/40/20/20 and the clomid @50/50/50/50


Revised cycle would be:
Cycle-
Week 1-10: 500mg (250mgx2)
Week 1-10: Arimidex .5mg EOD

PCT:
Week 12-14: Nolva @40mg ed
Week 12-14: Clomid @50mg ed

Week 14-16: Nolva @20mg ed
Week 14-16: Clomid @50mg ed






Another random question, for just a Test cycle, is it better to run a 12 week cycle vs. 10 week since only one chem is being used, or just stick to a 10 week?

About a year ago, I made a drastic change to my dieting with the same belief as you. Other than losing 1-2% bf, it really didn't do much as far as weight gain, you know?

I kind of feel like my body is saying, "this is where I like to be naturally, get over it."


So, I'm now here, looking to convince it otherwise.

Since everybody's different and this is your first cycle it's smarter to have it on hand. Since you don't know how sensitive your body will be to "aromatization" if you have both you'll be able to figure out what works best for you.

dam bella you and adex are one in the same
