so i've been doing some thinking, usually i dont have a problem with gyno while on a cycle so i rarely ever use any anti-estrogen while im on my cycles but lately i have been sick of the bloated look and have been thinking about taking an anti-estrogen like aromasin during my cycles, but im curious how this will affect my overall gains? currently im running a PCT because i feel its time to rest up a bit and ive noticed my muscles being more pronounced due to the water loss.. i love this look way more.. what do you all think?

liquidex should be more than enough to help dry you out. agreed to go eod and start with a low dose. shouldn't effect your gains much at all.

Why the hate for arimidex? Could go with a low, low dose of letro but I am not a fan of letro while on unless needed. It killed my gains whenever I would take it for my gyno.

I would go with a low dose of letro, strong but very effective.

go with aromasin... the rebound is less harsh. And its alot easier on the cholestrol values..

also the anti-e will not hinder your gains your using it to control water retention, water retention isn't muscle.. so yes, the scale might not make those 40lbs dbol jumps that we hear from noobs , it wont have any effect on muscle growth/building

Keep anti's to an absolute minimum. You need estrogen to gain muscle. If you must and care about a little water run adex .5mg 2x/week...maybe 3x.

Proviron is what i'd use. 50mg/ed.
