Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to get shredded before starting my 1st lean bulk (will be on Testosterone + Tbol). As such, I wanted to do some bloodwork before I start the cycle and switch from the current deficit to 300-400 kcal surplus.
My current data:
29 yo, male, 184 cm, 76.2 kg. Estimated bodyweight around 10% (last DEXA scan was close to the end of the year but I became significantly more defined than back then).
At this moment I am on a daily deficit of a 600-700 kcal (on average: daily caloric intake of 2700 kcal, out of which at least 170g are protein, and the rest is high carb low fat, while the total daily burn should be anywhere between 3300 and 3500.
The thing is, I work in my corporate job Monday to Friday (standard 9-18), but I also had to take a secondary job at a hotel as a receptionist (currently working there shifts per 3 week: 1 night shift randomly Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 20-08 and weekends 08-20). I am also studying actively for my accounting exams whenever I can.
Because of this I had to reduce my running volume a lot (20-25 km max), and my gym sessions to 4 per week.
I currently take the following stuff:
Tirzepatide 10mg per week
NMN (500mg Uthever powder, sublingually)
5-amino-1mq (50mg)
Omega 3 (1.5 g EPA, 0.75g DHA)
Citrus Bergamot (600mg)
Magnesium Bisglycinate (200mg)
Taurine 3g
NAC (600mg)
Ashwagandha KSM-66 (500mg)
L-Theanine 200mg
Vitamin D3 2000UI + K2
Zinc 30mg
Creatine 5g
AlphaMen (MyProtein complex of Multivitamins and minerals) alongside 10mg BioPerine
SLU-PP-332 (3x1mg split around the day, with fats)
Methylene Blue (20mg, oral tab)
GHK-CU (2mg per day)

Cortisol: 573 nmol/L (Ref AM: 166–507) [HIGH]
IGF-1: 112 ng/mL (Ref: 123–263) [LOW]
Note: Free Testosterone is listed as "In Progress" in the report. Will be ready in a few days but the Test, SHBG, and Albumin is already known so estimatively should be 0.38 nmol/L or 11.1 ng/dL.
I know the bloodwork ain't the best, but have you got any suggestions before I start the cycle? Of course I have also scheduled an endocrinologist visit but it is in roughly 2 weeks.
Thank you so much for your time and advice!
