Suppression is suppression yes but you do realize that some compounds suppress more than others right? specially those with progestional activity, dienedione is a perfect example....now about cycle lenght, no is not the same, remember that the brain send signals to the testicles to stop producing testosterone, so that leads to testicular atrophy... now if you let that process to be too long, testicles can atrophy to the degree that they cant recover completely... you can also see how testicular atrophy is worser with time (week by week testicles get smaller, ect)... thats why HCG is mostly adviced on cycle, since HCG will still send signals to the testicles and they are still active... if that werent true, hcg on cycle would be worthless, and if you do some research, youll know that HCG on PCT or 2 weeks prior PCT is no longer a practice, we can say thats a prehistoric method.
Now about an AI on cycle. i no longer believe in using it 'just in case", you mean you want to use an AI when you start to feel gyno symptoms?... why wait? it is a fact that the use of test will build up estrogen so why not control estrogen during cycle?... about estrogen being 200 more suppressive than test, i dont actually have the source, but i know a few who got bloodwork done, and it shows that they are better if they control estrogen. Plus if you control estrogen on cycle, you dont have to control it later with a possible estrogen rebound.... anyways to eachs own, i personally wouldnt like to let estrogen too high, in fact as i said earlier, estrogen will show syptoms once its too late... i prefer to control it, and by the way, even with aromasin on cycle, estrogen will be controlled but not totally cleared
Best dosage for aromasin is 25 mgs EOD... i personally would like to use aromasin at week 2-3 and so on
And no, no aromasin post cycle, it can increase test and there is no evidence that it suppress the HPTA, but anyways, is not needed in PCT in fact just keep your PCT simple, clomid and pick some test boosters and a cortisol blocker... aromasin in PCT can hurt you more than help you... thats why you should control your estrogen on cycle.
Just my 2 cents.... oh and something else, with an AI on cycle, you will probably avoid that bloaty look, and in the OP plan i dont see any DHT base... so aromasin will do him good... and even with a DHT base, AI should be used, thats my opinion, to eachs own!
