High TRT & First Cycle

[NotYourAverage]

Stats: 39, 6'1", 185lb, 14%

Goal: Physique first, Strength second
Program: nSuns 5 Day 531 LP

Tracking Cals/TDEE in MFP and adjusting using the 3Sun TDEE calc. Had very low metabolism previously, it has jumped up greatly as I have lost weight.

Was on Test-C 100mg E3.5D. Just got pre-cycle bloods. Bloodwork taken 4.5D after last pin (couldn't make it in time day before).

Edstrodial: 63.2
Total Test (LC/MC): 1984
Free T: 527.7

Almost seems like a mini-blast value. Will be reducing administration quantity post cycle on cruise to 50mg E3.5D and re-check blood at that time. Last BW had me at ~640 TT, 14 FT when I was on 300mg E2W, taken at end of period.

First cycle is 250mg Test-C for 16 weeks. Arimidex 0.5 mg at same time as pin. Was planning to drop that to 0.25 mg until I saw BW.

Very glad I have access to private blood work locally.. if my doctor saw that they would flip.

Second week log.
Took first week off from gym to reset CNS. Starting back nSuns as reset at 30lb drop in TM pee lift. Had to take Monday off after giving blood late afternoon. Figured that my BP was down to 116 when giving, even though had been over 130 previous to that.

Felt great getting back in. Had tried to go Sunday but my dog chewed my keycard so it wouldn't scan to let me in.

Third pin done Tuesday afternoon. Was supposed to be Monday morning. Oh well, shifted a day.

Day 1 on nsun is ancillary Bench/OHP. No pain in OHP, so rest and form worked well. Day 2 is Squat/sumo dead. Looking forward to this as my last one got hosed by PIP (thus starting rest week) which flared while squatting.

Kcal at 2080 consistent. This week and next cutting then full on bulk mode. Weight down to 183.5 this morning. Loving the morning vascularity in lower abs.. until I drink my coffee and it goes away.

Will post again Saturday with week 2 results.

arimidex 0.5 mg at same time as pin. Was planning to drop that to 0.25 mg until I saw BW.

48 hours after pin is a better option to avoid temporary Estrogen crash. Wait 48 hours for your estrogen to build up before you supress it.
.25 is a better option till blood work. I've seen studies showing the difference between .25 and .50 is minimal too. A better option would be .25 more frequently instead of a single .5 dose but I would dose AIs conservatively till bloods

Week 3 was crap. Only 4 short (for me) lift nights. Ran 5k today, average 12.5m mile. Not too bad considering still having issues quitting smoking. Was no energy issues, just couldn't keep my oxygen levels. Back to normal beast mode at gym next week.

Started increasing kcal over week. Up to 2800/day now. Still losing weight. Going to increase 200 EOD to 3400 and do a 5k on treadmill EOD in morning fasted. Always easier to quit when you feel the impact.

Tried 24h on Arimidex. Felt like shit for next 24h. Went back to same time with yesterday pin, didn't feel a dip this time. Have always been very fast metabolizing of any type of oral medication. We'll see how bloodwork looks at 6 week mark. Had started with high e2.

Don't forget excessive cardio is not healthy. Excessive diet either. A steady progress is your best friend. DON'T QUIT!

Don't really follow, seems rather non-sequitor. More than open to input if it is somehow connected to what I said.

Going fuckng awesome. Last dose taken from this vendor. Starting GEP T-E on Friday, same dosage.

Dont have the 1.5-2 gours required for nSuns with new job. Going to research phat/phul tonight and make decisions.

Your trt doc had you on 1 shot every 2 weeks? If I read that right time to find a new one. Smh
