Recommendation for AI on Test Cycle & Blood Work

Hello, I am running 500mg/test e a week. I have aromasin as my ai. I started my cycle with a little bit more body fat than I wanted but that’s ok.

I am just finishing week two everything is feeling alright and I can start seeing strength gains. Would anyone recommend me starting aromasin yet ? I have no bad sides nor gyno but I’m wondering if I should start to keep my estro under control since I was a higher bf starting. Thanks.

Before my cycle my bloodwork was normal. I am getting bloods tomorrow . What should I expect from them after only 2 weeks being on cycle? Or should i wait longer to get bloods. Thanks

When you get blood work and it shows high e2 matched with symptoms you can’t live with, then it’s time to take the AI.

Steady states are achieved after 4-6 weeks, so getting labs this early in the game is pointless.

Only use AI if you have unbearable symptoms of high e2 which are later backed up by bloodwork showing actually high e2…
If it’s only symptoms it means you read forums enough to have paranoia.
If its only bloodwork but you don’t feel any different, there is no need to fuck with it. Higher test means higher e2. It’s normal and also e2 is needed for anabolism so technically the higher e2 you can tolerate the the better.

Most people dont need AI on 500mgs…

Couldn’t agree more.

This is a pretty decent and generally easy to read article that explains the beneficial role of estrogen in the male body. What particularly stood out for me was the last paragraph:

Men with low estrogen levels have higher levels of internal (visceral) abdominal fat, which is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. In addition, men with estrogen deficiency have reduced bone strength and an increased risk of bone fractures.
