Test E/EQ cycle bloodwork back, thoughts?

[3sixty3]

So currently running 500mg test e/600mg EQ pinned twice weekly on Monday and Friday. Bloods taken Saturday morning 28 hours after last pin. I am on week 8, and got the bloodwork back. Coach had me on .5mg arimidex and 20mg Nolvadex daily. I have ran one other cycle of 500mg of test, and ended it with some var, on that cycle I took roughly 1/3 the arimidex and and no Nolvadex, My Estrogen was 110 when I pulled bloods. I felt fine and had no issues from that high of estrogen, and the ratio of test to estrogen was the same as my pre cycle bloods. This time my Estradiol is 9.5, libido is no where near what it was last cycle, but other then that I feel great. You think I should drop the arimidex down to about half the current dose? Will the help my HDL? Any of the other parameters of concern? Thanks Gents, still learning.

which retarded coach say you should take nolvadex in your cycle?
Each drug has side effects... reduce the drugs man... furthermore it makes no sense to apply nolvadex in combination with sufficient high dose of arimidex... which estradiol you would like to block to the cell? you have nothing?
what you should do...:
1) fire your coach and search for a person with knowledge
2) get rid of nolvadex during your cycle
3) reduce the AI to .5 eod -> low estradiol is the cause for low libido... but high estradiol as well... 0.5 eod is a good compromise ... i am pretty sure because i did the same cycle as you do and our bloods looking quiet similar. Another advantage with slightly higher estradiol is an improved HDL parameter
4) drink more and use Astragalus for your kidney. controle your creatinine value if this goes not down you should not use EQ anymore. other drugs maybe better for you

Thanks for the response/help . I was unsure of running Nolva on cycle too but after some research I found it was very common. I was actually just listening to a podcast with Justin Harris yesterday and he was saying that he had a coach that told him to use it on cycle, and he ended up liking it. He stated he now has all his clients using Nolva and then AI sparingly. I don't doubt my coach, he's been around the game for a long time. I think for sure a reduction is necessary.

Ok first of all if you have no doubts in your coach why you do not discuss this with him?
Anyway, I still do not get the advantage of Nolva in a cycle like that. Can you explain me the purpose? What does itt mean to like it during cycle?

And yes I would lower the AI dose for sure. Independently from the use of Nolva

I've seen it too, nolvadex on cycle. I like it more than ai's too but wouldn't take it if I wouldn't get gyno tbh.

I honestly think you're pointing fingers in the wrong direction, EQ is infamous for the low libido. It could be 'just' the EQ?

I do wonder, how are the results muscle/ strength wise?

Text your coach a link to this thread. He’s not a coach. He’s a dumbass. Nolva on cycle should only should be used in specific situations def not this cycle.

if you develop lumps under nipples in case of gyno then you can add some nolvadex or raloxifene to reverse it in cycle. But with proper A.I dose and controlling e2 you dont need it. Nolva or Ralox is Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators, which means , it stops aromatase enzyme activity in certain parts of your body. But still e2 will stay high and free to go around. Your E2 aproach is an overkill
