Hi folks, I just about have my cycle figured out, I just have a question about the aromatase inhibitor Arimidex. I have looked through all the threads such as:

steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroid-forum/654553-beginners-guid***********-proper-nutrition-3j.html
steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroid-forum/675497-ology-frequently-asked-questions.html
steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroid-forum/664646-cycling-beginners-guide-safe-androgen-use.html


and I have seen that the dose of Arimidex is listed between 0.25mg to 0.5 mg. Would there be a problem if I did 1 mg 3 times a day? Right now, I plan on taking 250 mg of testosterone cypionate and 250 IU of hCG on Monday and Thursday for 12 weeks (and I will continue taking 250 IU of hCG on Monday and Thursday of week 13 and 14). I was thinking about taking 1 mg of Arimidex on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Is it ok to take 1 mg of Arimidex for 3 days a week for 14 weeks stopping 3 days before PCT?

Once again, thanks for all the help...this rookie appreciates it! :D
 
Why do you want to run more arimidex than most people need? And significantly more! Are you aware of the effects when one tanks his estrogen?
 
The reason why is because I am terrified of bloating and getting gyno. I figured since the pill comes in a 1 mg dose, that a higher dose would guarantee that I won't get gyno or bloat while I'm on my testosterone cypionate cycle this fall. If 1 mg 3 days a week is too high, I could always take 1 mg once or twice a week instead?

I'm definitely open to suggestions because you guys are way more knowledgeable than I am. I just want to make sure I don't fuck things up so that my first cycle will be successful and safe.

Oh, and no...I'm not sure what happens when you tank your estrogen levels too low but I figured us guys don't really want estrogen. We are injecting testosterone so I figured estrogen is bad.

What you are proposing is a really bad idea. Men need estrogen. Not having enough is one of the worst feelings in the world.

If you are truly scared of gyno, you should run Raloxifene on your cycle. Think of it as an insurance policy in the case your estradiol gets too high.
 
You can't just guess at how much arimidex to take, IMO. Perhaps with other stuff, but not Arimidex or insulin. lol Get your blood tests, before and during and adjust your dose to get correct E numbers. I need about 2 to 3 mg a week, depending on Test dose, but that's a lot for most people. And I kept adjusting dose until my numbers were ok. I sure didn't start with 2 or 3 mg.
Like Megatron is trying to tell you, this is not going to end well. :) Good luck.
 
I would start with 0.25mg every second day. Adjust based on blood work but that should keep you roughly where you want to be, unless your really fat.

As Mega mentioned, men need estrogen too. Having low estrogen is considered worse than having too much estrogen by a lot of men (feeling wise.) When guys tank their e2 they usually get so tired getting out of bed is a chore, bones start hurting, libido is gone, dick goes limp etc... a lot of these also happen when e2 gets way too high but... It's usually better to have it a little higher than too low.

I suggest you do some reading into hormones before you start a cycle. It's a really good idea to understand what your actually doing in your body when you inject exogenous hormones. Helps to not fuck things up :)

Great advice! ^^^^^
 
OK guys, you have all made your point. I will take 0.25 mg or Arimidex 3 times a week for the first 14 weeks. I will still get some labs before I cycle and I'll take another one 6 weeks into my cycle. If I need to lower or raise the dose 6 weeks into my cycle, then I will do so.

And Megatron and Prince, thanks for the heads up on the estrogen...I didn't know that we actually need some. I won't go crazy on the Arimidex. I don't have gyno and I plan on keeping it that way so with the Arimidex, Clomid, and Nolvadex I should be ok.

Exactly^

And I'd suggest taking the adex every second day, as opposed to three times a week. Due to it's half life.. just to keep e2 stable throughout the week. That way when you test bloods your getting a pretty accurate reading, as opposed to a smaller trough/higher peak depending on when you draw blood.
 
Got it. Instead of 3 times a week, I will do it every other day. As far as Nolvadex and Clomid, yeah I know those are for the PCT only. The only things I'll be doing on cycle will be the 250IU of hCG and the 0.25 mg of Arimidex EOD. I understand that the Nolvadex and Clomid won't be for gyno...they, along with the hCG, will help me to recover quicker and to get my natural testosterone production back up to where it was before starting the cycle.

Luckily I won't be starting my cycle until the fall, so I will have plenty of time to keep reading and learning.

Hey Megatron or tbone, I don't have gyno nor have I ever had it ...I'm just hoping I won't get it. Do I need the Raloxifene? Do all rookies like me get gyno at 500mg of testosterone cypionate a week or do guys that do higher amounts of test (say 1000 mg or more of test a week) or crazier cycles with a variety of steroids get gyno? I will check my blood test to see the level of Estradiol E2 at week 6 of my cycle and I'm hoping if I do the right dose of Arimidex (0.25 mg EOD) that it would be enough to prevent the gyno. How would someone know if they are going to get gyno?

Just to clarify, hCG is 250iu twice a week. Not EOD.

I would get the Ralox and keep it on hand or run it on cycle as a safety net. Itbisnt very expensive and you will be glad you have it if you need it.
 
You are right...I meant the Arimidex is Every Other Day. The 250IU of hCG will be twice a week along with my testosterone. I'll get the Ralox but I won't use it unless I need it.
