g2g... e2 still in range but i think you'll aromatise a bit because of current %bf. 12.5mg aromasin or 1mg arimidex with every pin and check e2 after 4weeks on cycle. Then play with dose of AI.

Enjoy your cycle!

Estrogen is already on the higher end. For bodybuilding i would cut to 10-12% BF. Did you also do cholesterol and hematology ?

12.5mg aromasin and 1mg arimidex are not equivalent. Also need to be way more careful with arimidex on crashing e2.

Total cholesterol was 150. Triglycerides 95. LDL 95 and HDL 46. Hema all came back solidly average

At your age I'd also check ApoB. Very specific cholesterol marker that would show how dangerous having high LDL/triglycerides would be for you. Some people can get away living with very high LDL til 90, others need to keep theirs under 100 ng/dl in order to not get heart problems early on. LDL/Triglycerides are good markers of heart health, but I'd say they're pretty general when it comes to actual heart health based on genetics. ApoB is what defines risk factor of your LDL number.
