Very true. I'm just giving out the general doses of a cycle. Everyone is different and reacts different.
For the most part 6.25-12.5mg ed of aromasin is good for 500mg of test a week in my experiences.
I think taking an AI at low dose is better than waiting for estrogen sides to start and then take it. Then your stuck getting letro or worse gyno surgery. I prefer to take precaution.
But for a first cycle to cruise on 100mg a week doesnt seem right. Why would you want to put yourself on trt, its like not even taking a cycle. Just keep to a simple test only cycle at 500mg. My 2 cents.
Higher levels of estrogen build muscles, that is why you want to pull bloods.
Of course no one wants gyno, but again, this is where blood comes in, you aren't going to form gyno in 3 weeks of a cyp cycle, the half life is just starting to build up. At this point it will be a good indicator of how your body is aromitizing.
The key word you said is, the AI protocol works for you, that is why you must be careful recommending what works for you.
Also, I don't know your history, but if you have never gotten bloods pre and mid cycle you might try it and see exactly what that AI is doing for you, you might be way too low and will find if you take less you will see more muscle growth. But, again perhaps you have gotten bloods and know exactly what to take at a certain mg testosterone, but the other member for sure hasn't, and that is the huge difference.
I agree with you on the cruise aspect. He probably doesn't need to cruise, but to each their own and depending on his age he might need trt and that could be the best route for him. But we aren't doctors and can't play that game, and he doesn't know if he needs trt because he hasn't pulled any blood or seen a doctor.
And understand, I am not trying to come at you sideways or put you down, I just want everyone to be safe and responsible[emoji106][emoji51][emoji106]
Edit: I just saw he pulled blood for base line.
