Cholesterol is not great, but that will probably change once you take a break from gear.

I thought for more muscular guys eGFR usually showed a false low number, not a false high number.
The cystatin C does not take into account body mass, either.

Before this cut I was never on really less than 750 mg of testosterone for the last three years so my HDL is always between 35 and 40. LDL is never above 90 because I do a shit load of cardio and eat clean pretty consistently. Lipids are always the same pretty much. Unsure if the tirz made a difference there.

I don’t think it’s bad at all. I don’t really take breaks unless I’m prepping for a big run. Something like 20-30 miles. Then I’ll drop to like 120 test 100 mast. Optimal for endurance any more than that and the pumps and water weight are just a setback.

Do you take statins? That is a crazy low LDL.

That's the whole point. Cystatin C does not correlate with lean body mass so no need to adjust egfr based on cystatin C.
I'll provide some literature on your first comment regarding my egfr/creatinine statement. It was meant to be more general comment for non muscle head community.
Creatinine vs gfr has nonlinear relationship so you don't want to always ignore a low egfr estimated with creatinine as being no issue just because you are muscular. Good to compare egfr from both methods.
Edit: This graph may help
So if your egfr by creatinine is low and egfr by cystatin C is high then you have piece of mind and minimize chance of type II error by dismissing low egfr-creatinine.

For someone on gear and no meds I'd say this is actually really good. HDL could be better but for being on cycle it always gonna be low, at least it's not way down in gutter. Everything else looks good to me but I'd like to see where apoB is at to make a final opinion

So when I went looking for a coach a few came to mind. I was looking for someone that pairs well with me but would also put up with me. He’s very well known and respected in the fitness community and agreed to build me a split only using barbells and DBs per my request. I hate machines. There’s something raw and nostalgic about free weights. Machines are boring and takes the enjoyment out of lifting for me. This is what he came up with. Very different than anything I’ve ever done.

If I could remove them and lend them to you I totally would haha appreciate you man. Kinda depressing going from peak bulk at 240 to realizing oh that’s not even remotely close to all muscle. Nitrogen/glycogen retention is a really strange one.
For context I haven’t been under 200 since summer before freshman year, long road ahead.

Slowly but surely getting better. No more protruding bumps, purple spots that are very dry and starting to fade. Prob 2 or 3 more months unfortunately.
