TRT and AIs

[worldbreaker86]

So, I made this account and thread for the sole purpose of getting an opinion/advice from MR. Dylan G himself. Dude is a straight shooter, very knowledgeable and doesn't ever beat around the bush.

Is an AI recommended, while on TRT, if self administering above 200mg/week (average endo prescribed dosage)?

I am aware that the only true answer comes from looking at blood work. I am asking in a general sense, however. Say I run 300/week and do not experience any gyno, or nip sensitivity. Should I still take an AI, as a preventative measure. And if so, what is the recommended dosage, since I am on TRT and not cycling.

This is all hypothetical as well. I just read a lot and need clarity on some things.

I'm sure Dylan will chime in and give his thoughts, but I will share mine. It is very hard to give an accurate answer on this, as everyone has different sensitivities to estrogen. I would say the average person would probably need a low dose of AI for anything over the physiological range of test (anything above about 200mg). The dose needed will vary. I can personally go without an AI at all up to over 500mg per week. However most people are not that lucky. For most people 12.5mg aromasin EOD works well during a cycle of 350-500mg per week, where a lower or higher amount of test will require more or less AI as well.

Thanks Rick! Appreciate the insight. 500/week, no AI?! Holy hell man! It's like tour body makes aromasin on its own!

Lol, yeh man I'm pretty lucky in that regard that I have very little estrogen sensitivity, and can get away with a lot. I still run one every cycle, mainly because I like a more dry appearance.

hey brother, great to see you here! i hope you stick around and learn and participate more so than just this question but im always happy to help my man...

i would NEVER run anything, especially compounds that convert to estrogen without an ai present... i even use it on non converting steroids just to protect myself... you won't crush your estrogen if you do it right... on a trt dose you should not generally need as much as a normal cycle but you definitely need to have it on hand and you can still run it about half the normal dose... i would go with 12.5 mg every three days or so just to be safe... you can always test the waters first and see how much you need it as well but you definitely need it on hand before starting anything...
