3 weeks in. Feel a bit bloated

[Bcuzimbatman]

Stats 25yo, 15%bf, 224lbs strongman competitor
First cycle:
Test E 400mg. 200/2 weekly E3D
HCG 250iu/2 weekly E3D (starting week 5)
Arimidex on hand for sides

PCT
Clomid/Nolva

3 weeks into test e 400mg cycle. Is it too soon to start using arimidex .5mg every other day to combat some of the bloat? I feel like I've bloated up a bit and am trying to stay as lean as possible during these 15 weeks on cycle

It's not too early at all. I'd start @ 0.5mg on pin days. That should hopefully be fine. If it's not, bump it up to 0.5 EOD. If it's too much, drop it down to 0.25mg EOD or E3D (pin days).

Give each dose at least a week to 10 days before you decide to change it again.

Is it true that it should be taken at night because it makes you groggy?

I've never heard that before. I don't really get and sides from any of the AIs or SERMs I've taken. I do tend to take them in the evening, although mid-day doses were fine as well. Most of my AI experience is with Exemestane, though.

You could always take it just before bed and see if it helps you sleep. :]
