You need to control E at ALL times when taking gear that aromatizes. Adex is cheap. Your cycle will be more productive when E2 in the 20’s [0–54 pg/ml].
I’ll tell you from personal experience that it was not enough for me at around those dosages. My advice: Proviron is wonderful for its SHBG binding properties, but NEVER depend on it to prevent gyno or control estrogen for you. Get an AI for sure. Adex is not going to inhibit gains that much. I think that old saw about adex inhibiting gains gets thrown around way too much on these boards. I have made terrific, terrific gains while on fairly high doses of arimidex. Estrogen needs to be controlled. Yes, get proviron, in fact, your addition of proviron may free up enough test to make up for any gains that an AI will inhibit.

I have allways believed it best to use only if you have to do so.
Estrogen buid up causes water retention that causes heavier lifts and more muscle.
To much adex and you loose some gains thats why.
but really i may try running 50 of prov. with the 500 to see if it can hold off the gyno.
I’m really looking for the input on the prov.
THX ANY WAY BUT HOW DO YOU SEE THE PROV. COMING INTO PLAY???

Hes right if u dont have to take an anti-estrogen many bodybuilders believe that anabolics work better without one. However the trade off between the drugs working a bit better and getting gyno is a no brainer, so many take the anti-estrogen. However there are many people who can take anything in any amount and never show a hint of gyno. For them I dont see the reason for one.
I’m on your side on this one Judge you crazy sum bitch you, but I have no hands-on experience with gear. I only base my assumptions on my book knowledge. How long are you running the proviron?
Even before the ‘3G’ AI’s arrived, proviron never was used alone as an anti-aromatase… it was used in conjunction with tamoxifen as the best way to prevent estrogenic symptoms - as the nolva ‘blocked’ the hormone, and proviron prevented the hormone from being converted in the first place.
As an anti E, proviron is only used as a kind of ancillary ancillary… that is to say, a drug to assist another ancillary drug (nolvadex).
Judge… you have already noticed you are semi-sensitive to gyno, trust me, prevention is the best route… and anastrozole is the best drug in your case.
PLUS, 0.25mg EOD or ED isnt going to suppress E to ridiculously low levels anyway, you will still have plenty to ‘go around’… even at its best arimidex is 80% effective, as it cant get to the aromatase enzyme in the adipose tissues (unlike letrozole, which can).
Hope this settles this for you…
(also proviron has other benefits and it will HELP with anti E anyway… but the SHBG benefits alone are enough to warrant its inclusion.
Was 4 consecutive posts necessary? Anyhow, semi-hijack question and you can have your thread back. Would .25mg EOD of Adex be enough to stop gyno from occurring when someone is taking about 1g of aromatizable gear and is most likely semi-sensitive to gyno since that person got gyno during puberty?

One gram i would think not if they are very sensitive but it all depends on the indivigual.
You could start out at that dose if its not working increase to ed still nothing 0.5 eod still nothing 0.5ed so on so forth.
Yeah it was quite a bit over kill 4- consequitive i was bored.[/quote]
Well I have enough to do .5mg EOD or .25mg ED of Adex, and if that’s not enough, I’ll have ample time to order more. My source has ridiculously fast shipping too from international. Took 5 business days for them to ship my last order.
So I guess I’ll do the .25mg ED or .5mg EOD I guess. Thanks for the help.
