Aromasin or Arimidex precontest?

hardkor · Sep 10, 2004

I'm 9 weeks out from my show and I'm currently running .5mg of Arimidex every other day. I just got my hands on a bunch of Aromasin and was wondering if 1 tab of that is equivilent to 1 tab of Arimidex. I was planning on starting at .5 tab of Aromasin EOD now and taper up to 1 tab every day 3 weeks out.

Does anyone here have experience with both Aromasin and Arimidex? Any info would help.

As to whether they're equivalent to one another, that's like comparing apples and oranges. I would run both as they work exceptionally well together. .5mgs arimidex EOD, and 12.5mgs exemestane EOD. As a plus the exemestane will have no negative impact on your lipids if you choose to use that alone.

Bingo!!!! That sounds pretty good actually. I know that the suggested studies show Aromasin to be about 85% succesfull in blocking estrogen and A-dex to be about 80% or so. I know that its great for precontest, wont play havoc on your lipids, and no signifigant Igf-1 downgrade.

Thnaks for the advice BBC. It sounds pretty logical to use both. I know about the IGF-1 issue between the two and being that I am on HGH right now as well, I'll probably just use the Aromasin. Two weeks out, when I drop the GH, i'll throw Arimidex into the mix. I wont be using anything that aromatizes too much (if at all) the last four weeks, so I don't know if i need to go to 1 full tab of any of the two every day. I'll probably taper up to half a Aromisin EOD and two weeks out, I will throw in half a Arimidex on the other days. I will also be taking 20mg of Nolvadex and 50mg of Proviron so I should be good to go.
