Post-cycle bloods

[0pus]

Hello,

To preface, I had great results on my first cycle, gained 41 pounds total, I'd say 85% of it was quality mass. I responded quite well to the compounds, having no sides at all, while feeling great the whole time. Instead of running PCT, I tapered the last two weeks of my cycle, which leads us to now, about 10 weeks after the last injection. Cycle as follows:

1-6 Test P @ 100mg/ED
1-6 Dianabol @ 50mg/ED
6-8 Test P taper
Exemestane (as needed, probably once every 10-12d, if my joints felt stiff)

The question I have pertains to a 'pre cycle blood check' I've just gotten; I didn't expect my test to be near what it was before I cycled at all, with a taper especially, but I was not expecting my Estrogen to be as low as it is -- is this normal? I haven't taken any AI/PCT/Exogenous Test etc for 10 weeks.

You did NOT gain 35lbs of muscle on an 8wk bulk lol.

Your estradiol is low bc your test is low. Nothing surprising there. What is surprising is you decided to taper instead of doing a PCT so basically you're still pretty shutdown and that's not surprising.

Right, I expected the Estradiol to be low because of my suppressed Testosterone levels, however not that low. From your answer it looks like it's normal. And yes, I did, I started at a pretty low weight and I ate correctly. But you won't believe this anyway. Thank you for the response though!

Your levels are not "normal", they are to be expected considering you did the taper and skipped PCT. normal levels would be within physiological range whereas you are hypogonadal at the moment.

Regardless of what weight you started at and how perfectly you ate and how min drugs you took and how much tiger blood you drank....the human body does not gain 35lbs of muscle in 6wks. I'm not saying the scale can't move that much in 8wks, I'm saying it's not all or even mostly muscle.
