I see that you got midcycle bloods - your a rock star, well done. Keep doing that.
Didnt you switch labs mid cycle? If so the first batch may have been enough to shut you down and the second not enough to keep you kick' - make sense? I see people do this all the time, not me - not ever - fuck that with a stick. I run the same shit, no guessing.
Quite possible you could have done this and with combined with your good AI be running your e2 into the dirt, your joints will tell you.
Let me just comment that one of your last posts was that you couldn't sleep and eat enough to keep up. Fix that first, your fucking yourself with out food. Not eating properly for your goals is the NUMBER ON MISTAKE seen on this board.
So look at the big picture here:
Things done well-
Came here and asked questions
You seemed to have listened (got bloods, ect.)
Did your best to manage E2
Came back and asked more questions
Had a goal and willing to aggressively pursue it
Things to improve-
Diet needs to be dialed in tight, no approximations - food weighed , meals prepd out, accurate and appropriate macro and calorie counts for losing fat I find no alternative to this for me in losing fat.
Consistency with your compounds. Like you did with bloods, find out what doses do what and stick with them
Set attainable and specific goals, no ambivalence here, numbers (ie... lose 4% of my body fat and add 1" to my limbs)
Everything you want to see happen is done with a fork AND a calculator, pen and paper. If I was beating you with a hammer and screaming this in your face I wouldn't be stressing it enough - especially as this was your first rodeo.
All in all your on the right track, you seem to be able to listen which is 99% of making changes. Your on your way.
I have heard time on cycle = time off cycle. I having nothing to add here because I blast and cruise. But I might add that you got off to a rickety start on your first cycle, not a complete disaster because I think you have learned a great deal from what has happened.
The diet must be repaired, you don't need to add anything - especially orals.
DO NOT DROP YOUR CALORIES GOING INTO PCT, you will be sorry you did IMO. A strong chance that you will lose muscle in the process, keep the cals up and change the macros, heavy weights - the biggest factor in making long term changes to the type of body composition you are after is having more muscle mass, do not compromise this you will be forever chasing your tail. Notice I said long term, this shit seems to take forever enjoy the ride, there is no destination, your arms will never be big enough, you will always want to bench more than your shoulders and elbows do - its part of who you are if your really in love with the barbell like most of us are.
I would like to hear from some of the guys on here that are in my eyes respected and well constructed
