+ 1 AI or SERM while on cycle?
ad
I have read a bunch of posts saying that they use an AI while on cycle. Then will reading Anabolics by William Llewellyn he recommends Nolvadex because the AI's can mess up cholesterol levels. What does everyone here prefer and why?

pharmabruhfor A first cycle, I would recommend that you go with test only.
at 500 mgs a week, you should yield good results. doing this will help you establish your sensitivity of testosterone in relation to estrogen. also, try running test for 4 week and see how your body reacts. if you start holding too much water, start getting sensitive nipples, or develop increases gyno mass, than put in an A.I.
you can use arimidex or aromasin. I personally like aromasin because it's a little less harsh on your lipids/cholesterol. amimidex tens to impact your cholesterol level way more negatively than aromasin.
keep in mind that while on cycle, your cholesterol levels are going to be impact negatively. you total cholesterol tens to go up. you triglycerides ten to go up, you LDL (bad cholesterol) tens to go up, your Hdl( good cholesterol) tens to go down.
you can counter some of these effects by consuming foods that are low in dietary cholesterol. I personally like to keep my dietary consumption at 200 mgs to 300 mgs a day.
when I do see that my cholesterol levels are moving in the wrong direction due to a cycle i might be running or just dirty eating of foods hight in saturated fats and cholesterol,
i like to run omega-3s at 3000 mgs a day, Niacin at 500 mgs a day (get flush, the flush free is not effective in lowering cholesterol levels) and red yeast rise at 1200 mgs a day.
anyway hope this helps
I personally don't run any during my cycles unless my estro gets a little high but generally I'm quite good on cycle. I always have them on hand just in case but never really needed during cycle
if I was to I'd used AI during and save the nolva for PCT! One thing is for sure you can never ask to many questions or do enough research! Remember everyone is different so what works for some may not work for everyone! Good luck with your first cycle buddy! Eat big, train and don't forget your rest!!! Good luck
Cycle history?
Bf%?
Goals?
I'm prepping for my first cycle ever. I plan on starting in a couple of months because I'm getting my gyno removed that I developed during puberty. My Bf% is about 20% My goals are to build muscle.
I just had both glands removed myself bro (adolescent) congrats on getting the surgery, you won't regret it.
Far as the cycle, 20% bf is by no means bad, you would just have a lot less negative sides at a slightly lower bf% , try to lower that before you start the cycle you won't regret it.
Search the forums here on diet and nutrition for cutting bf, Makwa has a really good write up. I'll post it if I get a chance in here for you
As for the Ai question, I personally ran adex @.5mg e3d on 500mg of test my first cycle and had zero issues.... But what keeps my levels in check my crash yours or not be enough. Blood work week 4 of cycle will be a must, no guessing on this!
Last thing you want to do is get the surgery, spend all that money, and end up starting a cycle too soon and have estro problems n sensitive nips...
Hope this helped, shoot me an fr if you have any questions about the surgery good luck
Why are you wanting to use one in the first place mate?
To control my estrogen levels, avoid gyno, and minimize edema.
It's all relative in this game, personally if you're 'there' as I'm reached your genetic limit and been training for a number of years run a simple test only cycle and try running an ai, see how you feel/get bloods taken and from there see which route you want to go.
Once you find out how oestrogen sensations you are and what you need to control youll have your answer.
