+ 6 which ai to use during pct

ad

Think this needs discussed more and talked about for the benefit of the community. Let's start by looking at the two most popular choices Aromisin(aro) and arimidex(dex). Both are aromatase inhibitor but aro is a type one and dex is a type two.
Aro is known as a suicidal ai. Basically meaning that once it attaches itself to estrogen it forms a bond and never lets let's go rendering it useless or dead. This can be a great factor for its use in pct as there no way estrogen can rebound after u stop taking it. Not only is this great during pct but it also been shown to raise test levels and help free test by lowering sex hormone binding globulin (shbg). Shbg is an enzyme that binds to test and makes it useless. these factors during pct is very beneficial.

Now let's look at Adex on pct. Adex is a type two ai. Meaning that once u stop using it it will unbond itself from estrogen and u can have a rebound effect. Now estrogen doesn't last forever so don't worry bout estrogen that was in your system three weeks prior during your cycle but the estrogen rebound this may cause can be very counterproductive during pct. I know a lot of guys will say taper your dosage or even run it past your pct so the rebound effect won't matter but let's look a little closer as it's been shown that nolvadex will significantly reduce the blood level of Adex greatly reducing the effectiveness. So even running Adex along with nolva mean your wasting your time and money.

In conclusion imo Aromisin is the far superior choice for use during pct. Everyone body reacts different so what may work for me may not for some one else. I thought a healthy debate on this subject would be beneficial for us as a community

I got tendonitis from using AI so I'm not using it unless absolutely necessary. Bottomed out my estrogen which I need a little bit and I'm not prone to gyno. Never had this with PCT in my 20s using clomid or novadex. The doc switched my AI to something else. I'll have to look at it but I haven't used it yet. He says it won't bottom out my estro. We shall see I suppose.

I wont go into specifics but i think the best PCT for guys that are 100% sure that the anabolic game is for them and they are going to run consecutive well planned cycles would need to include an array of peptides, the guys that i coach run their PCT this way and i swear they do not drop a single pound whilst off their oil regimen.... i know i got some guys on here running this way and results are 100% positive.

It also makes it into a far easier ride for the endocrine system instead of constantly crashing/kick starting by traditional cycling methods, which in my experience is traumatic and far worse to the body than actually staying on the juice year round.

Great addition Roll; good to see information coming back here instead of 10 gram a week cycles.

I'm still a firm believer for us guys that aren't trt. That pct is the most critical part of any cycle. Why I wanted to have a healthy discussion.

I was unaware that Nolva counteracted Adex. That would definitely have implications for individuals using Adex and then popping some Nolva to counteract any gyno flares, but thats for another discussion. The shbg properties alone should be enough to warrent Arom use for PCT. Good reminder for everyone roll.

After that forum I'm went and looked and looked and couldn't find one bit of info that supports arimidex is better than aromisin during pct so I posted this up to see if I missed some info. I could always learn more
