5 pounds out from start of cycle.

Hi All,

Really learned a lot from the sticky posts on this section, and looking forward to starting my first cycle.

Ive been around here for a bit just trying to soak up as much info as I can before starting.

My goal weight is 170lb, and I’m 5 pounds away from my goal. Starting from 210lb’s and about 25%BF. Long journey but feels damn good. Currently sitting at 175lb and ~16-18%BF.

I will be ordering my Precycle bloods from discountedlabs due to bullshit state laws making me jump through hoops and drive to another state. Expected, and with the help of some members figured out the process of doing so.

I’m looking to order:

• Estradial (Regular)
• LH + FSH
• Test Free, Bioavailable, Total <1500ng/dL (since I should be well under the cap figured I could save some money here) + SHBG

Would you recommend the ultra sensitive on Estradial for a more accurate reading in males? Or is this only necessary for mid cycle bloods to dial in AI if needed? Apologize if this has been answered but not able to search for an answer. Is there any other test I should include here? This will serve as my reference so I want to get it right.

I do already have CBC, prolactin, HBA1C (HEMOGLOBIN A1C), TCH, LH, FERRITIN, Iron, CMP, Lipid panel, TESTOSTERONE, FREE + TOTAL taken 2 months ago from my Endo. At the time of that blood test I was 188lb. With a 13 pound re-comp from then do you think I can save a few bucks and just use the existing testosterone levels? Or just re-take it?

Thanks again!

Looks good to me. It'll also nice to have a baseline test number to compare to mid cycle blood work.
Sucks to drive so far.
What's your cycle looking like?

I’ll be doing 200mg of Test Cyp every 3 days so ~400mg total weekly. 12 weeks total. Mid bloods at 6 weeks in to see if I need an AI.

for PCT:
4 weeks after last shot, starting HCG at 750mg every other day for 4 days.
500mg every other day for 3 days
250mg every other day for 2 days

1 week after starting HCG I’ll be starting 40mg of Nolva for 14 days (Slight overlap with the HCG). 20mg for the next 14 days. Planning on running bloods again 2 months after PCT.

If all is healthy I’ll run another cycle the next year. May add EQ for 2nd cycle. Still planning.

Interesting PCT. Where did you get that from? Not saying it's bad. Just different.

Combination of research here, and also help from Greg Doucette on the HCG aspect.
