AIs, or aromatase inhibitors, have come a long way in recent years... Gone are the years where large numbers of amateur bodybuilders would suffer from ridiculous gynecomastia on show day... It’s been a decade since we’ve seen a top professional bodybuilder sporting a bad case of gyno, even though in the past we’ve seen champions like Franco and Ronnie displaying it from the winner’s circle... AIs are remarkably effective for preventing gyno when used properly... Letrozole is an effective AI used by bodybuilders for fighting the effects of post-cycle hormone fluctuations... It is at this time in which testosterone levels crash (since there is no longer an artificial T source present in the body) and estrogen levels remain artificially high... Letrozole works to eliminate the problems associated with these fluctuations... Here are a few commonly asked questions regarding the use of Letrozole... Q: What are the positive effects of using Letrozole? A: You will see an elimination of most occurrences of water retention, bloating, gynecomastia, and body acne... This effect applies to bodybuilders as well as to athletes in other fields who use the drug as well... Q: What level of dosing is recommended for Letrozole? A: Anywhere from .25 to .50 mg per day is more than adequate for bodybuilding purposes... There is an inherent danger in exceeding that dose in terms of interfering with normal sex drive function... Keep the dose at .25 if you’re not seeing the standard estrogen side effects, and move it up to .50 mg per day if you are seeing them... If you’re still seeing side effects, then Letrozole may not be the right PCT drug for you... Q: Can Letrozole do anything for existing gynecomastia? A: Yes – there is a great deal of evidence that existing levels of gyno are caused to shrink substantially when Letrozole is used consistently... The product is not marketed as a “gynecomastia reversal tool”, but it is used in practice by many bodybuilders for exactly that purpose... With the most severe cases of gyno, surgery is required to rectify the situation... However, there are cases where the use of .50 mg daily of Letrozole has reversed existing minor cases... Q: Is Letrozole similar to Arimidex? A: Yes, they are very similar to one another... Use whichever you can get your hands on for the better price... Q: How should Letrozole be used for contest preparation? A: If you’re seeking the tight and dry look, then Letrozole is probably what you’re looking for... As estrogen is lessened and testosterone production is aided, unneeded water is drained from the body and retention is reduced to nil... This leads to a great improvement of the visual appearance of the bodybuilder... Q: Is Letrozole good for off-season bodybuilding as well? A: Yes... Off-season monsters in a bulk phase often use Letrozole to keep their physiques form becoming too sloppy during that first one-third of the bulking phase when the bodybuilder can put on too much bloat too quickly, making prep later in the year much tougher...
