Is an AI required for a light cycle and what about some other stuff?
I am 26 and I'm gonna start my first cycle. 400 mg (or 450) per week of testosterone propionate for 12 weeks. I've read on the A-Lab that my test p is underdosed - producer claims it contains 100 mg/ml, but according to the A-Lab it contains 90 mg/ml, so this is gonna be more like 360 mg per week. Producer says its active half-life is 1-1.5 days, so I'm gonna inject it EOD.
My stats: Ectomorph (probably about 10-15% of BF); height 5'11'' (180 cm); weight 145 pounds (65 kg). I've gained 22 pounds (10 kg) and I'm pretty sure my diet and workout is fine and can't really gain more since my muscles just don't react the same way they did when I started. My genetic is horrible. My goal weight is 182-196 pounds (82-88 kg) with 5-15% of BF. I think the perfect body have guys like David Kimmerle or Ross Dickerson.
Questions (3-8 are less important):
1) Do you think that some AI (like arimidex) is required during the cycle if the dosage is less than 500 mg per week? I don't think I'm gyno prone. Anyway I've heard different opinions about reversing gyno - some folks claim that in most cases is irreversible. But I read in some article that the risk of gyno is highly exaggerated if dosages are low. Some people say that an AI hinders your gains because it reduces your estrogen levels too much, but other folks say it*'s just water so it's fine.
2) I don't wanna get a blood test before the cycle, but I'm sure I will get it after cycle and probably during it. Anyway I did my blood test 5 years ago (so I was 21) and my testosterone level was 668.51 ng/dl (reference range 241 - 827 ng/dl) and TSH 3.47 uIU/ml (0.55 - 4.78 uIU/ml). Do you consider my test level as high or medium? I don't think my test level is much less now, coz I feel my libido is even higher, so I'm considered about my dosage - 225 mg per week, wouldn't that be too low? /edited: now I think 400-450 mg/week would be better for me.
/edited: delete some useless questions.
