Nolva or Arimidex for staying dry?
Alright, I am gearing up to do my first "real" cycle. In the past, when I didn't really know what I was doing, one of the things I experienced on Dbol in particular was disgusting, debilitating bloat. I can't stand it. I literally put on 12 pounds of water in the first three days and just felt awful. It only got worse when the test kicked in.
I plan on running something very simple.
Wks 1-4 Tbol
Wks 1-10 Test C 500
PCT Nolva / Clomid ED 3 wks
I'd like to go as dry as possible while on cycle this time. I know the Tbol doesn't aromatize, so should I run Nolva or Arimidex at around week two or so once the test starts kicking in? Which one works best for keeping things dry while on cycle? I know 20mg of Nolva ED on cycle is pretty standard, but will it help with the bloat and other androgenic side effects? Or is Arimidex better?
Or, should I just go nuts and dose some Letro? What kind of dosage and schedule would be best for that? (I am assuming that this is not the best option, but, just throwing it out there)

Appreciate the help guys! This board is great. Thank you.

Like the cycle and I think you'll get good results.
My advice is stick with the AI like Adex or Arom for prevention and to achieve the dry you are looking for.
You are right . . . tbol won't aromatize. The test is your concern. Be safe and I think you'll get good results.
Nolva and/or clomid for pct. Nolva if you get gyno feeling to squash it, but I think with the AI, you should be fine.
Good luck! I'm glad you figured out the natty plateau, and reached it. Now on to the next.
Will be interested in your cycle progress and results.
Thanks man. I appreciate the advice.
I won't be doing this cycle for a couple weeks at least. I was one of the people who got ripped off by NG (my first time ever ordering gear online!!) so I've gotta save up a little cash again and wait for my gear to arrive.
I might go ahead and post a log on this site once I start. Thanks again!
NG fooled a lot of folks, bro.
Hope it wasn't too painful, but it's always a risk here.
It gives some time to step back, which honestly is good sometimes.
The main benefit of the Nolva vs Adex is the effect on the lipid profile; did you get blood work done already to know your baseline values?
I have not, but it's a great idea. Will do. It's looking like either Aromasin or Nolvadex now. Which is better on the lipid profile?
I would run the adex at .5 eod should take care of it
Thanks. You know what, I just realized Aromasin is easier for me to get than Arimidex. What dosage would you recommend?
Thanks!
