Question on AI?? Greatly appreciated fellas.

[Moose!]

If you got any thoughts about my AI that would be great?

I was thinking of getting my bloods done and see where my E2 is at, but do you think it will be all right if I lowered my AI to .25mg EOD

My AAS
WK 1-16 Test C 800mg
WK 1-14 Deca 600mg
WK 1-6 Dbol 40mg/day (Kicker)
WK 1-16 AI 0.5 mg/EOD
WK 1-14 HCG 500IU/week
Clomid
Tamoxifen

AI from start of cycle, I am 0.5mg dex EOD but now that I just ended my Dbol I thought of lowering my AI to .25mg dex EOD Thoughts?

I can say I feel way better with my AI then my last cycle exactly same time last year I was way more bloated including my ankles, but this time I am not due to starting my AI from the beginning.

Get blood work and see where your E2 is at.

I got that, last year my E2 was high. But I guess if it's in the normal range then do I stay where I am at 0.5mg/EOD. And if it's below the range this is when I can lower my AI? I am not sure if I got that right or reverse??

Results from a year ago don't tell you where your estradiol is at now while on your cycle. You need to get blood work now.

AI's lower estradiol. Take more to lower estradiol further. Take less to not lower it as much. Be careful not to lower your estradiol too much.

I would run arimidex at 0.5 every other day ... and with deca I would also be using caber or prami for prolactin related issues .

I take a little bit different approach to ai's. I would run .25 eod because you don't want to drive it down too much. If you get any sensitivity you can always up it. Keep in mind the AI will hinder your gains if you take too much. It will also compromise you immune system can be bad for your teeth. As long as you feel good sides are nil that is plenty.

As far as caber and prami I don't use em and I am a big deca tren guy. I know most of my personal sides come from estrogen.

I agree completely about getting my blood work done, so I will do that.

But if i am taking too much AI can that also reduce the amount of gains I want to get in the gym? B/c I feel i have loss some weight when I am trying to put on weight.

It can reduce gains if you suffer the fatigue, joint pain and other symptoms that come with Low E2. Men need a healthy amount of E2 to feel good and function properly.

I would personally rather err on the side of having my E2 be a little on the higher side than on the lower side. Crashing your E2 is about the worst feeling in the world.

I will reduce my AI to .25mg/ EOD and then get bloods and see where I am at. I should be fine. I have taken this same cycle before many times without an AI but this time I was thinking just for safety when last year my ankles got bloated. But not this year. So .25 it is.

I also have caber on hand but have never had to use it. I have done big Tren cycles and bought it just for that purpose. But never had to use it. I am just one of those guys who don't get many problems on Cycle.

Even done Androl too as a kicker and had no problems in the past. So thanks everyone for your input! ~Happy Easter!!

How many cycles have your run moose!. Have you noticed any E2 side affects in the past? You could back off to 0.25 mg adex eod and see what happens. That would be a minimum dosage. I could run that cycle without the AI entirely and get by with just the nolvadex. You may be able to do the same.

I understand your reasoning. No need using it if you don't need it. You have nolvadex on hand if you get in trouble and could return to your previous dosage. Try it.
