New member intro, couple quick questions

[Hatcher91]

Hi fellas,

Decided to actually post after being told by wiser members than I to introduce myself. I've been lifting for about 8 years, self taught and was a bit of a dipshit for the first few years. Used pro hormones a few years back without knowing better but at least properly post cycled. Haven't touched AAS since and recently decided to run a cycle of 500mg of test a week with Arimidex ed and nolva on hand for pct as well as if other symptoms flair up. My question is this, I did bloodwork about 2 months ago but am now wondering if I need to run pre-bloods once again since I am now about to actually start the cycle.

Stats are as follows: ~6' 192lbs 26yrs (Started 8 years ago at 155)
Came back up to 192lbs after cutting to 177lbs. Not sure on body fat, small amount on lower stomach and a little bit on love handles but top of abs and muscle on ribs still show.

Consuming mostly clean 3,700-4,000 calories a day in prep for the cycle, have been doing this for about 2 months now.

Deep Squat: 305x1

Deadlift: 405x4 (without chalk or straps)

Bench: 250x1

Thanks in advance.

I personally don't think that you have to redo the test if we are talking only from a testosterone and E2 standpoint since you haven't done anything since that time to alter those numbers

My opinion is if you can easily afford it, do it. I have had times I felt great, did pre bloods and whoa... Hdl was tanked and so I addressed that first.

I would say that arimidex Ed sounds a little aggressive. Estrogen management is important, but having estrogen in your body is important for growing.

The biggest thing I would focus on is dialing in your diet. A phenomenal diet and mediocre cycle will do more than a mediocre diet and a big cycle. Even if you think it's great, maybe see if it can be even better. Also there's no one right way, ask the top 10 prep coaches you find, they may all give you a different approach. Find what your body responds to.

Thanks for the reply CAswole. I forgot to add I've been taking a cheap test booster (which do nothing I've determined) but aside from that have not touched AAS or prohormones in roughly 2 years. I will plan accordingly though, I just wanted to make sure I didn't need more recent bloods to do everything properly.

Also, thanks Evom. At 60 bucks or whatever it was, you're probably right. It would probably be wise to make sure everything is in check. I've been trying to dial in my diet as well, I agree it could be cleaner. Perhaps I will make some tweaks. I've been seeing good progress off of my current diet considering I've been trying to put on weight, but also not excessive amounts of fat.

Good job trying to do things right and listen to senior members here. @CAswole is a good guy, his advice is generally solid and a good person to learn from

i've been lurking for a few months and I've seen both of you guys pop up quite often. So I appreciate you guys taking it easy on me with the newb questions and helping me out with some pointers. I know that you guys and many other members are full of knowledge if you're willing to listen, so I've tried not to make too much of a fool of myself. Aside from my first post aye.

Welcome brutha

Welcome to you as well, 3 posts?

 

[Hatcher91]

I do have another question as I don't know much about reading Bloods. I noticed my liver values were high at that time which I have since cut back on alcohol and currently no longer consuming nor plan to consume while on cycle. Aside from that, does anything else stand out on here? I do feel as though my test values are a little low for my age but I have nothing to reference it to prior.

Good to know brother, I really appreciate the Insight. I will keep it on hand and only use it if sides from high estro start to show. Hopefully everything levels back out for you quick, that sounds like one hell of a ride if you crash your estro. And one I have no interest in trying at that!
