First Bulk Cycle, 20 weeks planned. Any Tips?

I’d try to keep that z score under 3. but your labs look pretty decent bro!

I agree and I’ve never had it above high 2s. I was stoked to know that the HYB GH I’ve been pinning is doing its job haha. From everything I’ve read, it’s ok to be elevated at these levels short term for the bulk but not where I want it to stay beyond that.

Are you taking anything for cholesterol?

10mg Ezetimibe and 5mg Rosuvastatin. I also take 4-5g of Fish Oil a day and eat pretty clean. I’m happy to see the HDL where it’s at. Even with those few weeks of Var in there. My cholesterol now on gear and ancillaries is way better than my baseline.

I took bloodwork in week 7 and I was waiting on the sensitive E2 results to update the log with my bloodwork but of course Labcorp is lagging on those. I’ll update with those when I get them back but I expect that my sensitive E2 is in a good spot. I have no low E2 symptoms compared to when Primo crushed it to 12.8. I think EQ converting to estrone (E1) is throwing off the standard E2 results. I will opt for the uncapped Testosterone test next go around (in another 6 weeks) and add a CMP.

Scale is at a weekly avg of 206lbs right now. Chest, arms, lats and quads are all feeling and looking bigger and firmer. Measurements confirm the same. Vascularity is great and I’m only slightly more watery/softer than the start. Lifts are climbing and strength is still picking up. Being more on the intermediate side has allowed me to do a 6 day split of full body push pull (Eric Helms style). So far, I am able to push to mechanical/proper form failure and be recovered/ready for the next session on those body parts. Im running the split on an alternating ABC (days) schedule for push and for pull. Tracking progressive overload with an app. Logbook looks great and I feel good. Not much else to say at this point fellas.

Nice ggt
apoB and LDL tracks very closely, you can probably skip the apoB
CMP is really cheap, I'd recommend including it all the time even tho you do have ggt
No harm monitoring cystatin C as well for kidneys
