New here… And new to gear… I’m curious about the aromatizing of 150mg/week of Test Cyp. Should I concern myself with an anti-estrogen? Which is better for Cypionate, Clomid or Nolvadex?If so, When should I start it, during treatments or post treatment (if I decide to get off at all)? Lastly, I’m thinking about doing two injections of 150mg/week to keep levels in equilibrium… So if I could get the same questions answered for 300mg/week split into two administrations of 150mg a week, that would be much appreciated! Thanks fella’s!
The amount of e2 production depends on your TT/FT and amount of aromatase enzyme. The dose doesn’t really matter; it’s where that puts your hormones that matters.
Clomid and Nolva are not AI and will not lower e2. They will block its’ action in some areas tho. The ester attached to your test doesn’t matter.
You start it when you need it confirmed by high e2 levels in blood work. Agian, we’re talking a bout real AI here, not the SERM.
If you double your intended dose you may increase your likelihood for needing some sort of e2 management.

I guess the main thing I’m trying to avoid is gynocamastia(man boobs). I feel like a 4th grader in a college level course, as I’m not familiar with SERM. I feel like you’re not referring to SARMS… I’m about to do research into all the terminology you have mentioned that I’m not aware of. I am familiar with TT/FT however. So I guess you’re saying that it’s important to go get blood work done if you’re putting Test into your body on your own accord? What is something I should ask my buddy about to prevent gyno, should it become an issue? Thanks for taking the time and all the knowledge… Your answer has already opened my eyes to the delicacy of this stuff!
Your dose is a typical replacement dose and will not likely need an AI or lead to gynecomastia. During the transition phase from natural to assisted you may experience tender nipples etc but that usually subsides. If you starting getting actual lumps, usually pea size at first, then you can either reduce dose or add an AI. This is when blood work would help. Early gynecomastia symptoms and even lumps can be treated and typically don’t end up permanent until you have a good amount of tissue growth.
Once you’re into doses that put you well above natural ranges you can expect more issues. When I used to cycle I could use up to 500mg without AI or issues. Some guys can’t handle 250 and other can take a gram. It’s all individual. Symptoms still present themselves as I listed above so you would follow the same procedure.
My last question would be… Would it be more beneficial in gains to do 300mg once a week, or 150mg twice a week?
Everyone is different. You can not go by what works for anyone else. If I would have listened to the Anti Arimidex crowd I woulda been hurting!!! You might need to take it you might not, if you all of a sudden gain 5-7 lbs… Face more puffy than usual, dick stops working, take 1/4 arimidex or .5 … and no you wont crash your estrogen, arimidex just binds to it it’s not a suicide inhibitor, my E can go from single digits to 40 in about a week…

Is your buddy a doctor? If you are worried about gyno the SERM you have should do it.
