What to run alongside test to prevent gynaecomastia

[Mrbrightside]

Hello guys,

Some information please, I have decided to go for a test only cycle 500 mg a week and I’m asking for some information to prevent gynaecomastia. Do I to take anything alongside the test to prevent this or do I wait until my cycle is over and then start my pct?

Also any ideas of a good pct cycle for test only?

Couple things here. Blood work. Need to see where you are at before cycle. 4 week in to cycle blood work. After cycle has started to kick in (about week 4) need blood work to see what 5000mg will do to your hormone panel before any AI. PCT. that’s after your cycle. For me I usually started PCT a week after last shot. Some start the week of last shot. It’s all about what happens to you. 500 a week really doesn’t do that much to my hormone panels besides elevate my test. When I did PCT back in the day. Get blood work before PCT. and 2 weeks into it. Just a few ideas. Once again. I’m giving you my body. May be different for you.

Agree with @TBU If you want to feel safe you can take 1 armidex per week and just adjust after week four Lois. That’s standard protocol for TRT. Also your BF will have a lot to do with how much estrogen your body makes from the extra test.

You should definitely have an AI on hand so that if you need to take an AI because your estrogen is high or that you have estrogen side effects your prepared.
Normally you wait to take an AI once your blood work or side effects tell you that its time. You really don’t want to have to take anything that you don’t need but you definitely want to have either arimidex or aromasin on hand.

If ya search using the magnifying glass…it will come up mucho pct stuff.

Not being a jerk. Lot’s of variables.

Pct protocol simple version Steroid Cycles and Discussion

A normal conventional pct protocol is a combination of Clomiphene citrate and Tamoxifen Citrate Or clomid and Nolvadex. If you run a long ester cycle with enanthate or cypionate you would start 2wks after your last injection. If you were running a longer ester such as an undecanoate or a deconate you might want to wait 3wks or longer. If you’re running short esters like prop phenylpropionate or others usually 3-5 days later is the time you would start your pct depending on the ester and its ha…

Searching is good but if everyone just searches for information then will never have any new topics and I will go crazy not being able to try and help members.

Hahaha You know every time i say “search”, my intention is for the individual to learn some of the lingo and have a familiarization with the subject. Seems like i come off as a jerk…not my intention at all.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Not at all I say the same thing also to let them know how much information is there but I originally went to a forum were every answer to questions I asked was search the site using the magnifying glass.
It used to upset me because I thought that I was there to get help. Got banned quickly from that one and I kept seeing answers like that and other horrible things such as bashing all the time so that’s why ugmuscle was started.
Its just scary when I see it here I think im having flashbacks to those horrible forums.

The worst part is there search engine is Google so it didn’t even search the website like ours does so I felt like I might as well just use Google lol

In the past I used to pct a week after last shot but after the last pct I did I’m wondering if that’s not enough time for the hormones to clear your system. Was reading on how it takes 5 half life’s of the compound your using to clear your system and doing pct before this is pointless because you still have lingering esters in your body that won’t allow your balls to start up again.
I have not tried pcting like this but only getting back up to 352 total test after 2 years has me thinking this is really the case.
Anyone else read into this at all?

What dose would you guys run aromasin at if estro was high? I tried arimadex first cycle and I did not like it( made me lethargic) I currently taking aromasin 3 times a week (12.5) and it keeps my acne in check and I feel much better

 

[Bigmurph6]

Almost everything you said is true especially with extremely long esters as in sust, decca, and EQ.
These compounds I wouldn’t start my pct for minimum 4wks. When I run nandrolone I always run my testosterone longer to try and get the nandrolone gone before ending my testosterone so that pct would be better.

Prop you can start the day after

Enanthate and cypionate 2wks average

Longer esters 4wks atleast

 

[Bigmurph6]

If your blood work looks good then that’s a good dose but if your e2 continues to lower and not level off you will eventually crash. E2 is important to gaining muscle mass. Aromasin is great I actually use exemestane but its the same thing I only use it when needed and once I see my e2 is where I want it I stop to prevent crashing.

I use adex 3x a week at .5 and sometimes I dont need it at all, definitely when I use deca though, have aromasin on hand, but I like adex better.

 

[Dirtnasty]

That seems a bit much for how much you are using but if you feel good

 

[Ominous]

Get bloodwork it’s the only way to know if you actually need an AI during cycle.
I don’t need an AI at 500mg per week. But some people need it at 200mg per week. We all respond differently to compounds and that’s what the bloodwork will show you.
Pct as stated above two to four weeks after last shot depending on the esters.
Always have an AI and your PCT items on hand before you start. Makes things so much easier especially if you do need it during cycle.

 

[GillyTheKid]

Yah I’m gonna cut back I started breaking out so I took it and it stopped it. Just thought that was a sign but I’ll cut back on it until I see sides and get some bloods done

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s definitely a sign that your estrogen was brought down but to what level you just can’t tell.

 

[GillyTheKid]

This is true
