arimidex ?'s

[Wonderwoman]

Hey fellas,

My question is thisuring an offseason mass "cycle"(for a male)would it be more ideal to take Nolvadex to only block the recepters(most importantly in the nipple area),allowing "normal" estrogen production.I have heard inhibiting estrogen can lessen your muscular gains.Or using Arimidex, which from my understanding prevents estrogen production.Or both,and why?

It really depends on how prone to estrogen side effects he is and what his cycle would consist of. If he sufferes from water retention/bloat, or high BP, he might want to consider an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). If he is only worried about gyno, then Nolvadex is the way to go. If he does not have problems with any E sides, then taking neither is the way to go.

Using an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like Arimidex will not noticably affect one's gains.

The only other thing i want to add is that i have been reading alot lately how keeping estrogen levels in check will help PCT, personally i never use adex and never have a problem recovering. I am not sure if it would be wise to run adex the last two weeks at the end of cycle to keep estrogen lower heading into post cycle therapy (pct). I am not sure about this, but i may have to do some reading on it.
