Nolvadex vs Arimidex for fat loss

[Gunsmith]

I've always heard and see female competitors use Nolvadex the last 6-8 week of a contest prep to Help drop the last bit of fat off the glutes and thighs.

More recently (that I've been paying attention) ive noticed that more and more women are using Arimidex rather than Nolvadex and I'm wondering why.
Does it actually work better , is it safer , does it have less side effects.???

A female IFBB pro physique competitor I'm fortunate enough to talk to openly say her coach (highly recommend coach) has her use Arimidex the last 8 weeks at 1/2mg every third day. She says she thinks it's works a little better than Nolvadex but her diet and training have changed alot with this Coach as well so she can't say it the drug completely.

I'm also noticing that many female competitors are taking "Natural" estrogen blockers like DIM during the off season to help prevent any estrogen related fat gain , some say it works wonders , others say they can't really tell.

So for those that have dealt with this or know more of the science on blocking estrogen receptors vs lowering/stopping estrogen production what is your views on it.

DIM is not an estrogen blocker...it balances the estrogen out by helping to lower the bad estrogen and raise the good estrogen. It is good stuff and works well, but not a blocker.
