10% drop in body fat and 30lbs of lean tissue in just over 9 months. That’s impressive.
I’m new to the log here, it has been mentioned I’m sure…but was Oct 25 before your 1st cycle?

My friend who is a healthcare provider says everyone has a small lump right under the nipple.
Well you werent a dick about it lol.I appreciate your calm and open response
I do firmly believe it’s very hard to tell what drugs are causing feeling X or side effect Y unless someone has experience of just trying one drug with testosterone for each cycle.
I can understand why you’d not do just testosterone on the first cycle because you wanted to recomp a lot.
As for the mg, 500mg testosterone per week as the standard first cycle is a lot of testosterone. 250mg per week is plenty unless someone’s bloods show not very high levels on 250mg (an accurately dosed 250mg).
october 25 I think I just started TRT for 2 weeks. yes it was before my first cycle10% drop in body fat and 30lbs of lean tissue in just over 9 months. That’s impressive.

I THINK what they are trying to say they say we typically have a lump, some grow more than others. That lump is where gyno would start if one was susceptible, but I never felt like I did have gyno. And if I do? it doesnt bother me. thank god.I'm no doctor, but that sounds like a false statement. I had surgery, and off course, I have no lumps. But it feels normal to not have any lumps. Nothing is recessed, it looks normal. Idk ...
Regarding your current size and the dosages discourse, this is just me, but for sure go smaller with dosages. Imo 900mg's is a lot. For your size, you aren't that big (no pun intended), that would warrant such heavy dosages. But alas, as everybody responds differently to AR agonists, you might need more or less and I can't speak for your body ... But if you'd want to focus more on the training part and not aas, then 900 is imo not inline with that principle. Something like 350, max 500 would be that. Coupled with a low dose GH for recovery. Focusing more on nutrition timing and composition, training volume and periodization, cortisol, mitochondrial optimisation, sleep, nutrient partitioning, etc. etc. There's a lot of stuff once we go down more the biohacking route then straight bro's approach to just using more and more AR agonists.
Yes. I am finishing this one up. last Test/npp/mast injection is tomorrowSo your 2nd cycle since October?
Very interested all of non-AAS elements there. Could you write a post covering each topic? CheersI'm no doctor, but that sounds like a false statement. I had surgery, and off course, I have no lumps. But it feels normal to not have any lumps. Nothing is recessed, it looks normal. Idk ...

I can confirm i have no lump what so ever!I THINK what they are trying to say they say we typically have a lump, some grow more than others. That lump is where gyno would start if one was susceptible, but I never felt like I did have gyno. And if I do? it doesnt bother me. thank god.
Yea. I could see 500mg being an ideal amount. I am kind of following broderick's model for a cycle. 10mg/kg. he says if one chooses to do a sports HRT, they would do TRT+ anabolics up to 3mg/kg.
Thanks for your input.

Good to know!I can confirm i have no lump what so ever!
Brilliant stuff mate thanks! I’m going to go look up all those points and delve into it. Very appreciatedHonestly, there is soo much to write on the topic that I'd have to treat it like preparing for a proper research document. Maybe, one day, once I figure it out for my self a bit more and find a stable protocol, I could write that. But just trying to encompass everything ... that's a chit load.
Just some examples, for instance, just adding injectable B1 can help witt carb utilization, especially if you had a subclinical deficiency, and also it brings up immune function which tends to suffer on cycle. So that's instant more energy. Then for instance Semax for cns recovery is soo efficient that you can lower aas dosages just because of that. So is using cerebrolysin when you go to sleep, but I find semax has a bigger impact on cns recovery. Then there is like intraworkout optimization. If your RPE's 7 to 10 can become actually 5 to 7, meaning, you can push further into the set, you'll get more growth. Juat a simple thing, but using something like a Piracetam, it enhances your motorics so much, you move much more optimally and it's easier to push further into the set that once you didn't think possible, helps so much, that it's hard to explain. But it's subtle and you need to be receptive in noticing these changes. If you're all amped up, adhd like from to much aas, then you wont really notice anything. Which is a nother topic, balancing neurobiology, staying balanced and composed during a cycle, so you can actually optimize your training and not just train like a monkey. Then there is inflammation control, also very important. Sleep optimization, for instance, have you thought about glycine and magnesium threonate before sleep? Or using something like a retrofited insulin pump and putting mod grf inside so you get a lot more deep sleep (GHRH is what promotes slow wave sleep not GH).
There is so much stuff, if you enjoy biohacking then it's and endless pit really. I find myself more and more sucked into it. Just blasting aas is very basic, it gets the job done, but it's not healthy neither for your body or your mind, especially your head.
Aside from B1 what other nutrient partitioning strategies do you use?Honestly, there is soo much to write on the topic that I'd have to treat it like preparing for a proper research document.

Right on. Good progress in well less than a yearYes. I am finishing this one up. last Test/npp/mast injection is tomorrow
How do you feel with that level of e2?
The testosterone should be posted in 2-3 days. It's pending.How do you feel with that level of e2?
Where is the testosterone?
Regarding bloodwork its not that bad.
I think my mom has the same issue. she generates more platelets in general. I saw her platelets were in the 430's one timeWhat makes your platelets go up so high and your hematocrit so low? I'm jealous of your hematocrit.
