Estrogen Management or Not?

[OldGuyItsMe]

I'm doing a lot of research, reading, and YouTube.

There seem to be 2 camps. Seems like Dave Lee and Steve Devos are against managing high E symptoms or bloodwork. Steve's Facebook group all believe the same. They chant it loud!

Then some begin AI once symptoms start or if bloodwork shows it's high.

What's your opinion?

If blood work shows its high, don't wait for symptoms. AI might not be able to fix the problem if it gets bad, get it before, but don't take it either just for the hell of it, you'll tank your estrogen. And be careful if you do use it, I only need to take it once a week, example, my estrogen was 90, my doctor thought it was high for whatever reason, I had no issues, but I took .5 mg twice in just the one week, got my blood again 4 weeks later and it went down to a 7, so I respond to well on AIs that I don't need them, my estrogen never goes higher 90, as a matter fact lately its been in the 30 range no matter the Test dose. Some people just don't aromatise.

I'm early on and thankfully not feeling symptoms if anything after last pin it's the best I felt I years. Mental clarity, energy is higher but not maxed out. My strength is incredible, my workouts just keep increasing.

Right now I'm experimenting with pin scheduling. I think I feel better high dose e3d v lower dose eod or ed.

I'm on the Todd Lee and John Jewett approach.

I'm running high Masteron and low Test, I shouldn't ever have to worry about aromatization, but I have everything on hand if I ever needed something in a hurry.

I get bloodwork every 3 months.

Taking an anti-estrogen when your estrogen is normal/low, you would do more harm than good.
Not taking an anti-estrogen when your estrogen is high, you would suffer high-estrogen symptoms.
conclusion: take an anti-estrogen when needed in dosage needed particularly for you and your estrogen.
2 different guys could run 500 mg/week of test. One may need arimidex 1 mg every 2-3 days, the other may not need any anti-estrogen at all during the entire cycle. it is highly individual
