Will Adex slow or stop gains?

Funny thing I realized. Ever since I started taking .25 of arimidex I have stoped gaining weight. Actually I have lost a few pounds of water. My calories are way up as well as my protein. Anyone else experience this?

It prevents water retention

it prevents water gains, it doesn't effect muscle gain for me

nothing but a water dropper baby!! I love armidex!!!

I love it too -- I have been on cycles that should bloat the hell out of me and I stay tight and vascular from adding anastrazole.

You are probably thinking of the the effect that Tamoxifen may have on lowering IGF-1 levels. This doesn't seem to occur w/ clomiphene, so it may not be a matter of estrogen levels (or estrogen receptor agonism).

Haven't seen any info. that an aromatase inhibitor would inhibit muscle gains via lowering IGF-1, but estrogen w/ testosterone can increase muscle mass more that test alone (at least in cattle - this is why estrogen is in the implants - some of this increase also is due to more "marbling" in the meat - intermuscular fat).

The question is whether the estrogen's effects on muscle gain outweigh its effects on fat gain. I think not.
