6 weeks of cruising before starting that blast would have made a world of difference in how you felt. Would have made continued progress during that period too. I suggest trying a drug like Sustanon for cruising if you enjoy the feeling of high test. The peaks of the short esters are great for this purpose and the long ester will keep your total test WNL for the week (assuming a once a week pin schedule, which is more than sufficient despite what people who get to damn obsessive over esters say). The goal is to give your body a break from high TT and let health markers normalize after all, no need to get crazy with it, keep it simple.
One shot of Sustanon a week is my cruise protocol and I always break PR's and make noticeable physique improvements on cruises.
