Without me getting into my normal long-winded bibble babble.. your response right here is pretty much what I was going to come back with. Just like we both agreed upon, that it's not a traditional AI, and it does not behave like one either, but most certainly the end result regardless in many users ultimately is a lower end of estrogen in blood serum circulation, and that is a win-win.. would it be fair to call it an AI after all? I tread lightly on that one because people go bonkers. But if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...
I'm no specialist, but from years and years of personal experience, with historically having serious estro issues, which includes a surgery, and bizarre random. And this will also include my ears being open and tuned listening to others, with all that being said, I will always stand firm and supportive for those that want to use it in any protocol for as long as they want, when the goal is to combat their estrogen..
Guys are too hung up on the idea of using this compound for other amazing and unique things that it can do with contributing to the physique, when going into a show or when someone's really peeled down - but when guys like you and me and others talk about this compound, we're not always talking about the outside, there's so many off label properties on the inside.
To this very day, truly, nothing makes me feel as good, sharp, on point, like a social butterfly, confident, strong libido, just all around GOOD, as I do when I use my TRT with Mast (200/200) and proviron..
I have numerous blood work to support it, blood work without it and blood work with it.. being able to cut back on my AIs has been a blessing.. (for the record I'm not AI free, I'm just not tied down and reliant that's regularly).. AIs will always play a significant role, finding that balance, actually takes a lot of work and patience...
If people are fucking serious, they will get bloods, like a lot of them. It's an investment.
It's such a great feeling when I'm able to pull out my blood work files in my drawer, and look at what has happened over the years. And I knew what I did wrong and I seen what happened when I made corrections.. I'm so glad that I did this for myself, because not only is it proof, it's records of what I can and can't do and where my limitations are.
