Patrick Arnold SERM's not all they are cut out to be

[Jelisej]

To simplify things- SERM cheats brain into thinking that there is not enough estrogens, so it raises testosterone to get more estrogens (via aromatisation). So advantage of SERM over AI as PCT is that it works much faster, also as Rodja said SERMS raise SHBG a bit which helps recovery process as after any serious cycle SHBG will be virtualy reduced to zero.
IMO best option is SERM+ little bit of AI- lot of people are doing mistake and overdose SERMS, as sometime with too high dose you get opposite effect.
Now, fact is that raising testosterone with SERM or AI dont yield same benefits as with natural or even exogenous test, and also TT:E and TT:SHBG (levels of free test.) ratio is important- and also (IMO) testosterone effect on wellbeing is bit overated.

now, what's a little bit when it comes to an AI on pct?

cheers!

Thats a good question. Depends from person to person, I would say as a rough guide somewhere between 37.5 -75 g of aromasin/exemestane per week, 37.5 would be sufficient for majority of healthy guys 9asuming that their E2 was under control during cycle), and 75 for guys with a lot of aromatisation- but again, this is my rough estimation based on not insufficient evidence, to be honest.
