hello everyone, fairly new to all this so plz bear with me. I'm a 34yr old male 5'8" 169lbs BF 15-20%. Goal is to be about 200lbs of defined muscle. Don't wanna jus be big, my focus is the definition. Don't want to lose my gains due to water after I cycle off.

While gathering info on how to start my 1st cycle someone mentioned "test e or c 500mg split twice a week...eat plenty of clean cals to start gains. Also be sure to have AI and pct sorted before you start."

Okay this sounds good. Now while doing research on AI I've read that once you notice the gyno via itchy/sore/puffy nipples then you start taking whatever you choose to take.

As a young child I suffered from severe asthma and the meds that was prescribed had steroids in it...what type I'm not sure, but I produced gyno from it. Nipples only were big, felt the lumps and if I squeezed hard enough clear liquid would come out. Now at 34 it's not nearly as severe as it was but still have it slightly. No soreness, itchiness no liquid and what use to be a noticeable lump I'm not sure if I feel muscle or the remnants of gyno but, my nipples aren't flat so I believe I still have it.

My question is how or will this affect me with a cycle now? I see that some start the anti estrogen when they notice it's getting too high. If I did the anti estrogen even before I start a cycle will that help my current condition or no since I've had it at least 27yrs of my life?
