I do agree that you must have the AI's on hand...I think it is just best to stop it before it happens 500Mg is on low for me but not uncommin to sides....everyones bodys are different listen to your body
Water weight and estrogen fat deposits are often seen as gains .....this is just false thinking. It's just smarter to fine tune the AI's so that you are not getting too dried out . It just lean gains. THis will make youo happier in the long run.
The Key is to adjust the Dosing of the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) so your not taking any more than needed. It's the conversion to estrogen that causes the bloat.
the low dose could very easily cause him to blow up like a fish ...it all depends on the how much is aromatized
Letrozol is femera, which is an anti-estrogen.
Femara is 10-30x more effective than Arimidex in it's ability to pass thru the cell membrane of lipid (fat) cells and inhibit the activity of aromatase -- in other words, Femara is far superior in lowering estrogen levels in fat cells. This has two benefits for BBs; (1) Estrogen 'attracts' water, so less water retention (2) an average male BB is around 10%BF, that's a lot of lipid cells with aromatase inside them, so a substantial percentage of aromatase is left untouched by Arimidex due to it's poor ability to enter lipid cells Arimidex is approximately 80% effective at inhibiting aromatase, Femara is around 95-97%
