Virgin cycle: Adex v Asin

[Willygoat]

Gonna be running my virgin cycle soon. It'll be a simple test e 500 run for 10/12 weeks. Want to keep an ai on hand in case I start developing sides. Not sure what would be better, arimidex or aromasin.

I know aromasin is a suicidal ai, so there's less risk of an estrogen rebound. But I'd have to be taking it more often since the half life is shorter.

What do you guys think would work better?

Fuck, wrong forum. My bad guys.

I prefer aromasin. 6.25-12.5 ed works good for me at 500mg of test.

I've only taken adex and it's worked well the very few times I needed it. Just gotta be cautious with it. I got a little over eager the first time around and crashed my estro. It sucked.

Adex is cheaper usually. Just get that. Take it only as needed. If gyno occurs go to SERM therapy. Use AI if e2 symptoms become problematic. Aside from that, don't bother. Just have some on hand.

My vote is in for Adex, my preference.

Some people convert more or less.... estrogen plays a serious role in muscle growth/ GH and joint health. You seriously don't ever want to crash your estrogen for so many reasons. I also notice when my e2 is normal or a little higher yeah I do hold water but Everything is bigger including my penis. Seriously high and low e2 effects girth.

But yeah the only way to really gauge your happy medium is through constant blood work. Other than that... there's seriously no happy medium with e2. That's the downside to smacking hormones into our bodies. Your either hot one day/ cold as fuck the next, Chill and relaxed or paranoid and angry. Almost like a woman lol.

There's no such thing as estrogen rebound to begin with and x2 on what WeightedChinup said.

Arimidex will fuck with your lipids too. Make sure you get bloodwork as often as possible.

 

[Docd187123]

Not in everyone does it do that.

Yep, every single drug any of us tell anyone about on these forums ever, the sentence can be ended with 'not in everyone though'.
I consider it more than common enough for it to be mentioned in a conversation about arimidex.

 

[TheMyth89]

500mg Test weekly = 12.5mg ED and adjust from there and run it from the start. Don't wait till issues arise as once they arise they are hard to control. Run it from the get go and get blood about 8 weeks to see where everything is at and adjust it from there.

That's not true. The more test you take, the higher your serum levels will be for everyone. The more adex you take, the more adex will be in your blood for everyone.

The studies on adex affecting lipids are mixed. Some show it having no impact while some show a slight negative impact. I have no issue with pointing out it might affect lipids bc that's true, it might, but I wanted to point out that saying it WILL affect lipids is not accurate

 

[Apexvallen]

Yeah you are correct. I used the wrong word.

And this is why I switched from adex to asin and never looked back. Over the past few months, Ive learned this is not the case. Not saying ill go back to adex but I wont rule it out. Asin works but also makes feel "off" mentally. Brain fog, difficulty remembering things etc....
