The majority of that time of my 3 years of lifting and using gear was spent designing my cycles like this- although not always. I personally enjoy trying different things, paying attention to the results and taking measurements with blood work, body weight, etc. it’s like a hobby for me separate from bodybuilding itself.
So I won’t say everyone should do exactly what I do, but it has worked well for me, I personally feel and respond best in measurable ways with my e2 at this level. It’s not informed by some cult like belief in e2 power and the higher the better. It’s just where im my best.
And I’ve grown a shitload from it. Probably more than most people you’re likely to ever find even on the whole internet. You can see on my Instagram. I started off very skinny. But I’ve gained 112lb of weight total, in the 2 years 8 months I’ve been lifting while enhanced. And fully dieted down to striated glutes in moderate to decent stage ready conditioning 75lb of actual pure water depleted, fat stripped heavily dieted down contractile tissue.
I’m much bigger now, but it wouldn’t be fair to say my new weight because I’m bulking, so who’s to say how much of that is water /fat etc.
But dieted down I’ve averaged gains of 30lb per year of pure stage quality tissue. It’s just that 2 months ago was the last time I was dieted down enough to say with any accuracy how much true muscle I’ve gained
These pics are exactly 2 years 7 months apart and 85lb apart. I never lifted before this, so I don’t have any muscle memory effect either. The heaviest I ever weighed in my life was 140lb. But I wasn’t as skinny and lean as I was at 128 at age 29 when I started
