Low Dosage of Nolvadex all through the cycle ?

[Green888]

A friend of mine just bought the new issue of Muscular Developement, an he said there is an article, tips you allways should follow when you are on a steroid cycle.

now then, one of the tips was : use a low dosage of nolvadex on the WHOLE cycle !
That does not sound like anything i have ever been told !? ...what's up with that ? is it true ?

the point was that it lowered the cholesterol (or kept it low) when using steroids !

I would really like to hear what users in this forum say ?

I have always read that unless you show symptoms why use it?But I have seen people who always run nolva through out there entire cycle....but on the issue of lowering cholesterol I am not sure......where ya at stonecold?

I know in theory nolva is supposed to help with cholesterol issues while on, but i have never heard anyone actually do it succesfully. Meaning everyone i know with cholesterol issues does not do this, they all use other things to control cholesterol.

From what ive seen if you are after more of alean look during a test cycle nolva will keep water down but you will sacrafice some gains doing this.

 

[Green888]

so none of you would do it ?

what dosage do you think is enough ? 10 mg ED ???

 

[Makaveli_786]

I use 10mg nolva with 50mg Proviron daily to keep estrogen at bay, dunno bout the whole cholestrol thing but losing 25 percent of yo gains is bullshit cos thats all the water weight that stays at bay.

I would say leave it alone until your body tells you e.g itchy nipples and then use 20mg a day until symptoms disappear. I would say it does impact gains if used from the start.
As and when thats my rule.

 

[Green888]

anybody else use it during the whole cycle ?

i have the amount of nolvadex i need for post cycle therapy (pct) (and a few more) but not enough to run it during cycle also...but i have a lot of clomid, can i use 25 mg clomid a day instead of 10 mg nolvadex ?

..if i dont have any proviron (or simular drug) is it then unwise to run the nolvadex/clomid low dose during cycle ? (10/25 mg)

Two things........

First......if you do get gyno symptoms, start taking 40-60mg/day until symptoms subside, then continue taking 20mg/day for the duration of the cycle.

Second......Nolvadex will not hinder gains any noticable amount, even if taken from the start.

will 50 mg clomid instead do the trick ? instead of 20 mg nolvadex !...or is clomid strictly for post cycle therapy (pct) ?

Keep the Clomid for post cycle therapy (pct).

My mistake. I was stating what works well for me. I tend to keep Nolva use during a cycle to a minimum and that works fine for me.
However Stonecold has much more experience than me so I would go with his advice.

 

[Makaveli_786]

Man everybody says Nolvadex hinders gains but the thing is when you cycle mass gaining steroids you put on a lot of water weight, because Nolvadex stops the water(somewhat) people think they havent gained as much when in fact they have just without the water weight.

Yeah I agree with SC save it for PCT, you dont want to go through 10 weeks of feeling like a woman because of Clomid, Nolvadex is much much more tolerable!
