Puberty Ending How to Prolong

[IncelMaxxer]

So basically my puberty is nearing the ending and I am not happy with my appearance or height. I am around 180cm right now slightly open plates and body hair coming in how to stop or prolong to try and squeeze out some more bone mass?

Arimidex?

Arimidex?

anavar and testosterone since they stimulate the high levels you had during puberty

Yeah but this would also consequently increase estrogen levels correct? Would running arimidex, HGH, test e, anavar potentially increase puberty and give me an anabolic window of growth?

well if ur test raises also ur estrogen does since body tries to keep things the same , hgh is good and test e is just testosterone does not metter what type of testo is

You can delay growth plate closure which I assume is the reason OP asked, and not because he wants more hormonal acne.

Yes this is exactly why so would arimidex work for this? And what would be a good dosage? And how long could/should I run it for?

Arimidex is an aromatase inhibitor. It inhibits the enzyme aromatase (CYP19A1) as you can presume. Aromatase is the cytochrome P450 enzyme found in adipose tissue, the brain, testes, and bone. It catalyses the conversion of androgens like testosterone -> estrodiol. Androstenedione -> estrone. AIs block this step. As a consequence, oestrogen levels decrease.

Test levels often rise due to reduced negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Why does this matter?

Oestrogen is what fuses the growth plates. By reducing oestrogen with AIs, you delay epiphyseal closure and can increase final adult height.

There are three main AIs, anastrozole (arimidex) which is non-steroidal and has a roughly short half-life, about 48hrs. It is most widely used for growth protocols. There is letrozole (femara) which is also non-steroidal and has a similar half life, however is more potent than anastrozole/arimidex. Exemestane (aromasin) is steroidal and has a 24hr half life, however. It is also a suicide inhibitor of aromatase.

Arimidex is what I recommend.

What would be a good like outline for my next year on how to run this optimally? Like could I run it for 2 years? And what dosages should I maintain at and if I get monthly blood test for estrogen what levels should they be?

Get one before you hop on anything so you know your baseline.

Take 0.5mg every other day of arimidex, or 1mg 2-3 times a week. Studies like Hero et al. 2005 and Marus et al. 2000s used 1mg but that's a bit overkill for mild oestrogen suppression. Suppressing oestrogen too much can impair bone health. You're wanting to delay closure, not create a deficiency.

Monthly/bi-monthly monitoring should have estrodiol at about 5-15pg/mL don't crash it below ~5pg/mL.

At month 6, make a decision. If growth is still strong and labs are good, continue. Same with month 12. Keep checking if your plates are fused too. A second year of AI is a bit much. Risks for BM loss and long-term hormonal imbalance is much greater.

Should probably cycle off for 3-6 months or taper dose.
