A couple of things I didn't mention.
-the original shitty vial was only filled w 9 mL. I drew it all out into a 10 mL syringe during the filtering fiasco and it was a tad shy. I used a some Cyp to push the excess out of the whatman. This was my first time trying this, I took advice from some experienced guys on here and read up on the subject. Pretty straight forward.
-the test was done after it was filtered. I actually pinned it yesterday for the first time, Labmax didn't show up until this afternoon, and I'm 2 pins deep into this vial. It is what it is. I'm into my 4th week on this cycle and I'm satisfied this far. Had a mild shoulder issue for the last month so my strength is not where it could be, I haven't pressed any weight in weeks. On a side note have been killing the fuck out of back and leg day. Next week bloods will be posted on his Cyp.
