    Hi, I wanted to see if you could clarify the usage of AIs like Arimidex? How much should be used during a cycle and how do you gauge if you are using too much or too little? I am not prone to bloat or gyno problems, but acne and it gets really bad during PCT. Also, should I run Arimidex with Nolvadex and Clomid during my next PCT? Any advice would be appreciated. Like reading your responses and thank you.

    Everyone is going to be different. For a test dose of about 500mg, you'll probably need somewhere between .5mg 2x wk to EOD. Start lower and increase if needed. Too much estrogen, and you'll find that you are overly bloated. Your BP may go up. You may experience signs that gyno is going to start, itchiness or sensitivity of the nipples. You'll also be more prone to famale pattern fat starage. Too little estrogen, and you'll find you are too dry. Your joints may start to ache. Your libido may get very low. This will also lead to possibly making less muscle gains. You need estrogen to sensitize the androgen receptor. The best way to know if you are in range...really, the only way...is to get your lab work done. Takes all the guess work out. Some guys don't "feel" anything, and then find that their estrogen is way off. 

    I would run your Adex right up until you start PCT. At this point, I would either stop adex or decrease it. 

     

    As for your acne. This is very common. It may have to do with your estrogen, but chances are, it has even more to do with the fluctuation in your hormones. PCT and after PCT is a very unstable time. Be sure to keep your skin clean and if it's bad, scarring acne, see a dr. You may need to use some meds until your hormones level out.
