Best Aromatase Inhibitor?

[sagan666]

Arimidex (chemical name: anastrozole)

Aromasin (chemical name: exemestane)

Femara (chemical name: letrozole)

I will be taking 300 mg. of Cyp a week for twelve weeks. I have Tomaxifen and Tomerifen as SERMS, above our the three chemicals I have access to for Aromatase Inhibition during the cycle, thoughts? I am 39 and cycled various oil base compounds in my mid 20s without knowledge of post cycle therapy (pct) or Aromatase! I experimented with a Prohormone stack last year including ep-stane and trenedrol post cycle therapy (pct) Tomerifen and enjoyed every minute of it (great gains), but now I have access to real gear and will be using Cyp!

I don't think there really is a "best" Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to be honest. Both Arimidex and Aromasin are effective and useful, and Letrozole should always be kept on hand in case any lumps appear. I will personally be using Arimidex for my upcoming test cycle, due to its cheaper nature and the fact it uses lower doses than Aromasin.

aromasin is the best for several reasons
1) a suicidal inhibitor, those E2 enzymes are permanently bound and no rebound when the med wears off
2) its a steroidal Aromatase inhibitor (AI), meaning it lowers SHBG and this allows for greater free test levels
it does have a shorter working life than the others but daily dosing cures that, 12.5 is a good point to begin

I personally would double your dose to 600, look at the risk to rewards and decide if shutting down natural production for a test level of 1400 to 1800 is worth it. go all the way

That last part is poor advice, especially if it's his first cycle. More is not always best. And you can't go around assuming everyone who cycles wants that bodybuilding physique. Also, fuck my life I got Arimidex for my upcoming cycle. Does this mean my life is over and I could die?

it means what it says, you are shutting down natural test and as a young man ( im guessing) your levels are probable 800, and at 300 mg a week results will be a test score like I guessed, 1400 to 1800, will this give you the lean muscle growth you expect ? i believe we know it will not

but i started at 400 and moved to 500 and 600 in the same cycle, everyone needs to discover how it affects them and how they control the e conversion and if oily skin is a problem or hair is shedding..

That is true and fair points. I don't mean to hijack this thread but I'd just like to ask you one question. Considering I'm not at my genetic maximum, and the fact I'll be doing my first cycle soon, is 375MG test prop a week enough to see gains? Some have told me it's a good first cycle dose, others have said its too low etc. What is your opinion?

prop ester is lighter so more of the "mg" is actual test, 375 is a good dose , no waiting for 4 to 5 weeks for the real kick, but it not exactly a first cycle material, can you pin EOD certainly going to hurt, i do EOD tren but props got more pain to it

SolomonGrundy, this was very helpful and ForeverAesthetic you can hijack my thread anytime, especially one asking such a specific question, as I find education is more available when it deviates from topic to topic.
Gonna go with the Aromasin for the given reasons.

Sorry mate I won't do it again I promise haha.

Nice post.
I like adex cuz I can take 1 1mg pill once a week for most blasts. Less meds in the body for me

Isn't 1MG too much at once? I was of the belief Arimidex should be run at 0.25MG EOD or 0.5MG EOD, depending on side effects and how you feel etc.

Don't believe everything on the net.
Of course I could take less, but it's what works for me after years of use

Yeah that's a fair call. Some things work best for some, not for others. It's all about trial and error. I'm not sure I could handle 1MG in one go just yet haha.

Arimidex has a half life of 3 days. 1/2 pill twice a week would provide more even coverage. But the pills are tiny and hard to split. I'm guessing Shovel puts up with creaky joints for at least 1 day out of his week.

If Shovel is that much of a vet in regards to cycles he may also be running much higher doses of aromatizing compounds and therefore necessitating a higher Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose. The half-life of Adex is around 48hrs so 2days after taking a 1mg pill he's at around .5mg in the body and 2days later he's at .25mg. He probably times the pill with his injects so along with the spike in whatever compound(s) he's taking, his Aromatase inhibitor (AI) also spikes and tapers down alongside.

For a beginner the dosages you mentioned should suffice since it should be a much milder cycle.

 

[heavylifting1]

I would use Arimidex.

 

[Beck-Miester]

I use either, mostly depending on availability when getting my cycle gear together prior to starting. For this cycle, I am running .5mg Adex eod, and that works fine for me on a HEAVY cycle of Sustanon (sust) each wk.

 

[bignewf]

personally I chose aromasin. a little more expensive. my cycle is similar to yours, 500 test e a week for 12

solomn has some good point and that's why I chose it.. but to each their own man good like woth the cycle

 

[TheDarkHalf]

I'm surprised nobody ever uses formastane - it's percentage of aromatase inhibition is marginally different when compared to adex
