Low Test and the Need for an AI

[GreenEarth]

Hi everyone, been browsing the forums for a bit but didn't want to make a thread until I had a question I couldn't answer via a search (searching for this brings up any thread with "test" in the title lol...gave up after 4 pages).

I am planning to run a low test/high tren cycle in a few weeks. It'll be 100mg of test-e weekly, and at the 4-week mark (usually that's when I start feeling the effects of test e) I'll be introducing tren a @ 350mg weekly. Never used tren, so I'm starting a bit lower to gauge my tolerance for possible sides.

So my question is: is an AI necessary for such a low test dosage? I have pharm-grade adex on hand, but given it's effects on lipids I'm not too keen on adding it unnecessarily. I've heard people say that at very low test dosages a natty suicide ai such as Erase may be enough to make sure estro sides don't creep up, but I was hoping to get some opinions from experienced PM members.

Also, I will be running pharm-grade Caber @ .5mg 2X/wk.

You'll be fine without an AI with just 100mg a week

Listen to this man right here... ^^^^^^

I'm ready to start something similar as well... Tren Ace w/Test Prop....i'll be at 175mg per wk (25mg Prop ED) and won't be taking an AI either.

Thank you gentlemen. I will not start out with any sort of AI - I will, of course, keep some on hand like a smart boy, but with luck usage will be nil.

why guess man? Do labs.

If 100mg test E puts you're T levels in range, but E is high, you may try to loose some body-fat to lower aromatization in your body.

Thanks for the response man.

I'm actually furiously trying to consume the rest of my food for today at the moment because I need to fast for 12 hours...I'm going in tomorrow morning to have lab work done to see where I stand now. Don't want to start introducing hormones if something is wrong. Testing on cycle is a good idea as well, last cycle (test-e @ 500mg) I dosed Adex .25mg E3D and it sufficed. Only issue is that I felt like I got some of that rebound-estro people speak of in regards to adex. This time I think I may only dose it if I start feeling nipple sensitivity (although, of course, that could be caused by tren as well) or see excess water retention.

As far as bf%, I'm in a decent range currently. I've been dieting the past month and plan to continue doing so with tren/test (which will not be easy lol), I'd likely place myself around 12-13% bf.
