How to... Minimize Side Effects, Increase Mucscle Retention during cycle and PCT

[Scope75]

BBG just to clarify,

Is the proper use of the AI to start it higher and taper down, or to taper up the AI as you taper down the SERM?

Start higher and tapper it off with the serm.

Here's how I would do it.

Letrozole, you basically want to find the lowest dose that will take care of the problem of high estrogen. However, you want to get rid of the problem immediately, as well. So, if you start getting estrogen related side effects, you start the dose out high and slowly drop it until you find the dose that keeps the estrogen side effects low.

Then, when PCT hits, you start the aromasin high right off the bat. Why? Because letrozole is not permanently deactivating the aromatase enzyme. So when you come off (at PCT) you will get a rebound of aromatase enyzme as they start reactivating, and then you will get a rebound in estrogen. So, you start aromasin high because aromasin permanently deactivates aromatase enzyme. And then you taper off, knowing it won't rebound due to the permanent deactivation.

Some people will increase dose during PCT... ie, they will run aromasin: 12.5/12.5/25/25 instead of in reverse, as I suggest.

I sure found the AH V3 to keep estro effects in check. Gonna miss it.

Even on a cycle of test??

Updated insulin section:

Insulin:

Insulin the most anabolic hormone. It can help you immensely when keeping gains in PCT. It's key that you utilized the leaning phase at the end of your cycle so as to allow for the insulin protocol.

1. 20g glucose + 5g Leucine immediately postworkout. Has been shown to significantly raise insulin. You may also do this protocol at another time when your stomach is empty.

-OR-

2. Insulin: 2 iu waking, 2 iu postworkout (all 6 weeks of PCT).

Reason behind the glucose+leucine is that it boosts insulin way more than carbs or protein alone. I believe it boosts it much more than a whole shake+glucose as well.
