SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Pretty relaxed day, I missed the cardio as I picked up an extra day of it earlier in the week as I was up early anyway, didnt do much else but train legs and rest. Got my dexa scan done today and bloods drawn which I have posted, I came back at 9.9% which I think it may he a little inflated as I went to it after doing legs fasted and dehydrated, apparenlty can elevate it a bit, so we will call it 9% . All in all pretty happy, I have posted a picture comparasion of where this all started for me in July 2024 after abusing my body with shit lifestyle, bad food, drinking and no gym, that picture is the day I decided to start taking my health and fitness seriously following a bad health condition I suffered, so while I didnt get the 7% I was hoping for on the dexa. putting those pictures side by side - I am pretty proud of what I have managed to do and as this log draws to an end in the next week or so, I am excited for the next stage of growth under team gold and cant wait to see what it bring and truly appreciate and am blown away by the support I have gotten over the journey. Thank you all and massive shout out to @Gold Standard Labs for making this possible.

This has got to be one of the most comprehensive log updates I have ever seen brother

Good weight and volume across the board with your training!

I absolutely love the supplement stack

Mind and body check in along with summary and daily thoughts is awesome to see, first seen this from @KoalaTea

Mindfull self awareness is a powerful tool that we can use to look into ourselves and really read what's going on for us - this is something I think we can all benefit from and love seeing this segmented into your log

Brother, i am so proud of you - absolutely killing it

 

[LevButlerov]

Touchdown from @Gold Standard Labs today aswell, few test prop he was kind enough to supply me for my next cycle, going to see if a cycle of all fast acting esters will help with dialling in the e2 a bit better, as always lightning fast shipping and top quality

Beautiful Team GSL @Gold Standard Labs Touchdown @Dreamer

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Today was a bit of a flat day, until I got into the gym and I felt great, the pump was amazing, really enjoyed the session - I am super keen to start growing and adding some strength.



I still havent got my bloods back yet which is pretty disappointing, usually its quicker than that - but where I live is pretty remote, so eh.



I am pretty sure its e2 causing my issues but patiently I wait.



Back into the gym tomorrow for Legs and Abs - not much to report really, only real change is I am going to try a small bit of carbs in the AM for my cardio as it is becoming a bit of a struggle.

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Today was a bit of a flat day, until I got into the gym and I felt great, the pump was amazing, really enjoyed the session - I am super keen to start growing and adding some strength.



I still havent got my bloods back yet which is pretty disappointing, usually its quicker than that - but where I live is pretty remote, so eh.



I am pretty sure its e2 causing my issues but patiently I wait.



Back into the gym tomorrow for Legs and Abs - not much to report really, only real change is I am going to try a small bit of carbs in the AM for my cardio as it is becoming a bit of a struggle.

it is so annoying when they don't give bloods. i remember getting it done at the doctor and having to go in there every day to ask for them. and the mean lady there was acting like she was doing me a favor giving me my bloods that i paid for SMH @Dreamer

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Big day at work, sleep getting slightly better managed 7 hours last night, but its still broken and light, I need these bloods back - my gut tells me high e2 and I am keen to start this Aromasin but I will hold off, its frustrating but it wont kill me.



Hit chest, shoulders tris tonight - felt great, my strength and pumps were great.



I am booked to go on the Evo podcast next week which I am absolutely stoked about - super excited and cant wait, a bit nervous if anything.



Back in the gym tomorrow for a Pull day.

Last week of the cut

physique is looking better and better. nice commitment as well hitting the gym on the weekend. It's very possible that your estrogen is high and that could be affecting your sleep. Anytime you have water retention it can cause blood pressure issues and that will have negative consequences on your sleep. @Dreamer

Hey Evo Family



I am super excited to be starting my second log here, this time as a part of team gold with @Gold Standard Labs , I am so thankful to be able to join the team and feel confident with the top quality products from this lab I will be able to achieve my goals and then some.

I didnt fully complete my last log, for a myriad of reasons, I actually wound up the cycle early and started a fertility protocol as me and my wife decided it was time to start a family, this was successful which I am over the moon about.



However, now I would like to get back to where I left it, I have been using HCG, Proviron, Reta and HGH during this bridge phase and am going to be starting with returning to TRT with GH until moving onto a cycle in the coming weeks after my bloods settle and my life is a bit more stable.



I have attached some of my current pics of where I am currently at.



Current stats:

194cm

98kg

12ish% body fat



Goal:

105kg with minimal body fat gain.



Training Split:

Upper

Lower

Abs and Sprints

Rest repeat



Dosages:

150mg TRT Injected daily

4iu HGH daily



Calories and Macros

I will update this when I start the TRT

currently on 2600 calories with a 40/40/20 split.



Supplements and Ancillaries:

5000 IU Vitamin D3

180 mcg Vitamin K2 (MK-7)

1000 mcg Methyl Folate

1000 mcg Vitamin B12

650 mg Choline

325 mcg Kelp

3000 mg Inositol

4 mg Astaxanthin

600 mg Pantethine

1200 mg Berberine

1200 mg Citrus Bergamot

1200 mg Red Yeast Rice

500 mg Calcium D-Glucarate

1000 mg TUDCA

2400 mg NAC

5 g Glycine

600 mg Magnesium Glycinate

3 g Glutamine

400 mg L-Theanine

900 mg Ashwagandha

120 mg Passion Flower

5 mg Melatonin

10 g Creatine

5 g Taurine

3 g L-Carnitine

1100 mg Astragalus Root

900 mg Grape Seed Extract

600 mg CoQ10

500 IU Vitamin E

8000 mg Fish Oil

3000 mg Vitamin C

30 mg Zinc

5 mg Cialis

Will add 40-80MG Telmisartan when on cycle.

I ran this heavy support stack on my last cycle and my bloods stayed really solid, so will be repeating.



I will be sharing bloods in the coming weeks to see where my baseline on TRT lies, and will update and build on this log as I add compounds and ramp up.



Anyway thanks guys for following along, I cant wait to share this with you all, and thanks again to @Gold Standard Labs .



Team Gold

Foundations are awesome mate and congratulations on the young one! Your first?

Do you have a plan for your cycle? You mentioned only 12-14 weeks?

And what sort of foods are you eating at the moment?

Physique looks great

Hey mate! Thanks for stopping by, yes first one which is exciting, I do have a plan.

Going to be running
Test Prop 300, Bold ace 300, NPP 400, GH 5iu
Adjust as needed/tolerated - going to try and run for aslong as I can - got my bloods back today few things arent great, but I have alot of supps I can throw back in. I will post them up shortly.

Eating classic clean foods at the moment
eggs and oats
lean beef mince and sweet potato
chicken and rice with veg
greek yoghurt with whey, honey and berries
and then protein shakes in between.
Tuna and potatos

around 26-2700 calories.

Thank you man, I am hoping to grow big in this next push with lean bulking, gonna keep my calories controlled and my cardio high, been getting smashed with e2 like symptoms but scared to crash, I will post my bloods to review.

 

[Dreamer]

Alright, bloods are in, I am still waiting for Apo A1 and B and a Cystatin C, but they take about a week or two.

Firstly - seems Masteron fucks my lipids pretty bad - I am a little concerned but have also dropped Red Yeast Rice, Physillium Husk, Pantethine, Berberine, halved my Citrus Bergamot and dropped plant sterols and Niacin - thinking if I add these back in - this should come in range again on cycle.

Liver numbers and Neutrophils - I had a copper deficiency pretty bad from taking a high dose zinc for 3 months restoring fertility, I am supping copper but takes weeks/months to restore properly, I also trained quite heavy the day before bloods.

IGF1 seems low on 2iu daily?

I take like 15g creatine a day and train heavy - not worried about egfr

Dhea low is this a worry?

and the big one - E2, what should I do? so for context I took .25 Adex nearly daily for a week, felt terrible, this blood test was 3 days off arimidex, currently I am having quite alot of symptoms, but I am scared to crash it - I have aromasin on hand and arimidex, but each time I use adex I seem to struggle.

All in all, for 8-9 weeks on 200ish test and 300 mast, how do my bloods look for the next 12 or so on my planned cycle? obviously will be adding a ton of fibre to my lean bulk diet and adding back in all of my supps and upping the doses.

Alright, bloods are in, I am still waiting for Apo A1 and B and a Cystatin C, but they take about a week or two.

Good start thanks for sharing sorry it took me a few hours I had about 1200 tasks in mod que lol

Firstly - seems Masteron fucks my lipids pretty bad - I am a little concerned but have also dropped Red Yeast Rice, Physillium Husk, Pantethine, Berberine, halved my Citrus Bergamot and dropped plant sterols and Niacin - thinking if I add these back in - this should come in range again on cycle.

you're not 1st but you know my view on lipids? we aren't old ladies we ok with them being off
add the RYR and psyllium and start getting avocado and fish oil in there

Liver numbers and Neutrophils - I had a copper deficiency pretty bad from taking a high dose zinc for 3 months restoring fertility, I am supping copper but takes weeks/months to restore properly, I also trained quite heavy the day before bloods.

it does actually copper like iron deficiency takes a while lets see in 4 weeks

IGF1 seems low on 2iu daily?

its not factual I find hgh tests in general not factual , you could be 1 hour off and its a crash

I take like 15g creatine a day and train heavy - not worried about egfr

thats fair

Dhea low is this a worry?

no i wouldn't

and the big one - E2, what should I do? so for context I took .25 Adex nearly daily for a week, felt terrible, this blood test was 3 days off arimidex, currently I am having quite alot of symptoms, but I am scared to crash it - I have aromasin on hand and arimidex, but each time I use adex I seem to struggle.

e2 thats an issue, can we try to use low dose aromasin? lets say 5mgs? possible
not arimidex

All in all, for 8-9 weeks on 200ish test and 300 mast, how do my bloods look for the next 12 or so on my planned cycle? obviously will be adding a ton of fibre to my lean bulk diet and adding back in all of my supps and upping the doses.

8 weeks in thats a good time for this cycle and I think bloods look good imo
I think we can add a 2nd cycle plan as we go deeper
i dont see issues, main issue is when guys not consistent

Alright, bloods are in, I am still waiting for Apo A1 and B and a Cystatin C, but they take about a week or two.

Firstly - seems Masteron fucks my lipids pretty bad - I am a little concerned but have also dropped Red Yeast Rice, Physillium Husk, Pantethine, Berberine, halved my Citrus Bergamot and dropped plant sterols and Niacin - thinking if I add these back in - this should come in range again on cycle.

Liver numbers and Neutrophils - I had a copper deficiency pretty bad from taking a high dose zinc for 3 months restoring fertility, I am supping copper but takes weeks/months to restore properly, I also trained quite heavy the day before bloods.

IGF1 seems low on 2iu daily?

I take like 15g creatine a day and train heavy - not worried about egfr

Dhea low is this a worry?

and the big one - E2, what should I do? so for context I took .25 Adex nearly daily for a week, felt terrible, this blood test was 3 days off arimidex, currently I am having quite alot of symptoms, but I am scared to crash it - I have aromasin on hand and arimidex, but each time I use adex I seem to struggle.

All in all, for 8-9 weeks on 200ish test and 300 mast, how do my bloods look for the next 12 or so on my planned cycle? obviously will be adding a ton of fibre to my lean bulk diet and adding back in all of my supps and upping the doses.

That e2 is really concerning. No high e2 symptoms?

Geez only 200 test and your e2 is that high..that blows. Have you always been a high aromatizer? A lot of people think Mast will lowering e2 but from what I've seen and read that really isn't the case.

Everything I've seen and read says Aromasin is much easier to control your E2 with vs adex. Someone once said adex is like a nuke and Aromasin is like a guided missile lol

Yeah man, I feel the same way, I have a bunch of symptoms - Fatigue, dizzy/dazy feeling that comes and goes, no morning wood, shit sleep, wake up all through the night, no libido, shit mood and my personal favourite - puffy watery lower legs and arms.

and yeah even on trt I struggled with e2, not sure why, I never get anything close to gyno symptoms thankfully

Adex absolutely fucked me, what do you suggest?

I'm in a bit of a similar boat right now at 250mg per week. Haven't had a blood test lately but it sure feels like high e2 too me. So I tried a really low dose aromasin. I'm literally taking my second dose right now. I have 12.5mg tablets and I'm cutting them in half and taking it EOD.

Like you I'm worried about nuking my e2. So my plan is to just keep taking this low dose and see how I feel.

When did you start that? I took a 6.25 at lunch time today

 

[BeMe]

When did you start that? I took a 6.25 at lunch time today

Literally 2 days ago lol. I just took my 2nd dose now.

I've been having nipple sensitivity for over a month. Then holding a lot more water these last few weeks. Then I had a bit of an ED scare with the wife like 4 days ago where I almost lost it before I finished. That was the last straw. Took Aromasin 2 days ago and it was probably placebo but it the ED issue was long gone that night lol. Gonna stick with it and see how I feel.

Masteron can at high doses hide sides of e2, doesn't lower them like eq or primo

 

[Dreamer]

Masteron can at high doses hide sides of e2, doesn't lower them like eq or primo

Do you think @Pigsy its why I dont have the full spectrum of high e2 sides, but the ones I do have are pretty brutal?

 

[Pigsy]

Do you think @Pigsy its why I dont have the full spectrum of high e2 sides, but the ones I do have are pretty brutal?

Yes, this is why brother

 

[Allupfromhere]

Very high aromatizer brother. Wild your e2 was that high on 200mg test especially as lean as you are. Masteron doesnt inhibit aromatisation this has be proven. What it does do is it competes for the estrogen receptor sites for binding especially in the breast tissue limiting potential growth and thus producing a similar effect to serms.

Gh to igf1 is more complicated then that brother.
You would have run your bloods fasted and in doing so your insulin levels would be low and insulin being a key factor for igf1 in stimulating production.
In a fasted state we also produce more igfbp1 (binding protein) wich decreases the amount of active or 'free' igf1.
Thats why it would have come in low.
Test igf1 later in the day after a few meals and guarantee its higher.

Brother, thank you for the response, piecing everything together, with some help from @LevButlerov and a couple of the team gold boys I am getting an idea of whats going on. Couple questions -

Do you think Aromasin will be the way to go?

Should I go 5-6iu GH on cycle and finally - I am gonna drop mast for my blast, do you think my bloods as a whole are healthy enough to get into it?
Test P, NPP, Bold ace and GH

I aromatise high as well brother so i get ya haha, aromasin everytime.
You wont rebound on it and its easier on lipids for long term use. I was on 25mg asin daily(equiv to 1mg adex) for a fair stint earlier this year and i was only just at top of range for ldl and a single unit under for hdl..
Keep in mind that you will be introducing bold ace into the next cycle and its inhibiting effect it has on the aromatase enzyme.
Will need to monitor bloods closely at the start to paint a clearer picture on your response in this area.

Im not sure if i missed it but i cant see your lipid panel?

Hgh, take as much as you can until it effects your fasted bg levels if your bg levels fasted stay too long at 5.7mmol and higher its effecting your insulin sensitivity. Being a bulk and thrashing food for extented time on your next cycle will only contribute to insulin resistance also. Possibly could use low dose reta - 1mg to help assist with this.
Liss cardio will also help promote insulin sensitivity too. Even 15 mins daily will help and wont diminish potential gains.
However you better off just running a dose of gh that doesnt complicate things for you.
3-5iu daily 'should' keep you in a pretty good position. Just monitor bg through out the week. If everything is looking well and your nutrition is stable with your intake you will be able to judge more accurately if you can increase gh dose.

For best results of gh and gaining the benifits of hyperplasia, gh needs to be consistent for 6-12months.

My lipids are pretty shit to be honest man, I think mast has done it and I dropped Red yeast rice, berberine and a few others i will attach the lipids

My h1c was like 4.8, my insulin was 2 I think I have a decent buffer there. But will run reta throughout anyway

I think the LDL will come down a bit adding back in my supps and dropping mast

Haha bruhh i read your first sentence and expected to see something fucked up
Wouldnt even stress..
RyR and berb will def help here.
Could also add IM gluthione to help the liver enzymes

I hope so, I havent had lipids out of range before, Mast was killer but its also been a headfuck for me . I will sus some gluthione, I do take tudca, nac and the rest. I think its coz of that copper

The copper deficiency can effect a heap of things unfortunately, the depths of it are deeper then my knowledge on it all but i know it can also have a negative effect on mitochondrial funtion too as it impairs the livers ability for fatty acid oxidation.
Thats why i feel im gluthione can be a big help here

 

[Freki]

All in all, for 8-9 weeks on 200ish test and 300 mast, how do my bloods look for the next 12 or so on my planned cycle?

I'd clean the bloods up first. Your pretty much on a blast atm with 500mgs

My metabolic numbers look great, but I cannot work out why I dont seem to convert IGF1



I am going to start the cycle next week, plan a high fibre low sat fat diet and then pull bloods again in 4 weeks and see where I am at.



After this cycle I am going to take a pretty decent amount of time back on just TRT (literal trt - not 200mg) haha and thinking of running a log with a heap of peptides to restore health, as our baby will be born so not alot of time to be cycling anywayX I want to squeeze this one in, but thats months away now.

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Big day at work, sleep getting slightly better managed 7 hours last night, but its still broken and light, I need these bloods back - my gut tells me high e2 and I am keen to start this Aromasin but I will hold off, its frustrating but it wont kill me.



Hit chest, shoulders tris tonight - felt great, my strength and pumps were great.



I am booked to go on the Evo podcast next week which I am absolutely stoked about - super excited and cant wait, a bit nervous if anything.



Back in the gym tomorrow for a Pull day.

Last week of the cut

@Dreamer looking lean and shredded man. Can’t wait to hear the podcast

Alright, bloods are in, I am still waiting for Apo A1 and B and a Cystatin C, but they take about a week or two.

Firstly - seems Masteron fucks my lipids pretty bad - I am a little concerned but have also dropped Red Yeast Rice, Physillium Husk, Pantethine, Berberine, halved my Citrus Bergamot and dropped plant sterols and Niacin - thinking if I add these back in - this should come in range again on cycle.

Liver numbers and Neutrophils - I had a copper deficiency pretty bad from taking a high dose zinc for 3 months restoring fertility, I am supping copper but takes weeks/months to restore properly, I also trained quite heavy the day before bloods.

IGF1 seems low on 2iu daily?

I take like 15g creatine a day and train heavy - not worried about egfr

Dhea low is this a worry?

and the big one - E2, what should I do? so for context I took .25 Adex nearly daily for a week, felt terrible, this blood test was 3 days off arimidex, currently I am having quite alot of symptoms, but I am scared to crash it - I have aromasin on hand and arimidex, but each time I use adex I seem to struggle.

All in all, for 8-9 weeks on 200ish test and 300 mast, how do my bloods look for the next 12 or so on my planned cycle? obviously will be adding a ton of fibre to my lean bulk diet and adding back in all of my supps and upping the doses.

Great work posting bloods! Nothing to worry about here you’re on a blast so these bloods are fine except your e2. If your aromasin are the 12.5’s pop a half of one ED until next bloods.

5-6 ius hgh is nice dose. It what im running at the moment

Okay bro so there's a little bit to unpack here so I'll do it in order of what you posted.

Masteron and lipids: DHT's will typically smash lipids. The supplements you pulled are foundational for CHL health, but also a big part of the picture when running DHT's is healthy fats in your nutrition. I'm not entirely certain of what your nutrition looks like but don't be afraid to have your unsaturated fats, and particularly Omega 3's and 9's (all good for CHL health and also most organs health) in your diet:

- Fish
- Dark chocolate
- Walnuts and macadamia nuts
- Avocado

Some low hanging fruit here

Liver numbers: Mostly indicative of heavy training but the elevated Bilirubin from low copper like you mentioned. Keep doing what you're doing.

Kidney: Indicative of dehydration (normally) or early stages of kidney damage. How many L's of water before this test? How many L's are you drinking each day and are you getting enough potassium into your diet?

**NEED TO ADD IN ASTRAGALUS ROOT EXTRACT AT 1, 200MG - 2, 400MG/ DAY ALONGSIDE DIETARY CHANGES LISTED ABOVE TO SUPPORT KIDNEY FUNCTION**

Low IGF-1: Simply because you pulled a lower insulin measurement than previous tests. Insulin is the main driver of conversion of GH into IGF-1. Few other things could impact this measurement as well. How many carbs in your diet at the moment? Is your BG often low?

DHEA: No worries here. Within range.

E2: Okay... So first of all, are you experiencing any e2 related symptoms? If not this is okay because Mast antagonizes e2 activity at the receptor particularly in breast tissue so even with elevated e2 if you're not experiencing any other symptoms this may be okay. ALSO Masts effectiveness as an AI seems to vary person to person. Worth considering.

If you're experiencing e2 related symptoms you've got a few options, and you may use a combination of them. Just some to consider:

- Increase injection frequency (if not already every day)
- Decrease body fat (testosterone undergoes aromatization inside fat cells so more fat = more e2)
- Swap your mast for a compound that actively reduces e2 (Primo, ideally, it's more predictable, but EQ would also work ** BE CAREFUL AND CONSERVATIVE EQ COULD SEND YOU TOO FAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION)
- Oral AI

Bloodwork summary:

Not atrocious but worth keeping an eye on. I would recommend implementing the dietary changes listed above, adding the supps mentioned back in, and check again in 4 weeks. Should see an improvement.

@LevButlerov A good one here

Brother - thank you for your detailed reply.

I have probably taken alot of my healthy fats out of the diet while cutting without realising, as I try to push calories down - I will add in a bunch for my next meal plan.

My kidneys must be dehydration - I am taking 2000mg astragalus I am staying hydrated but that said I only had about a litre of water before that test first thing in the morning. Also taking 15g of creatine daily.

My body fat is quite low already and I pin daily - I am getting some e2 sides already, - EQ is in my next cycle which will be test, bold, npp.

I appreciate you taking the time to review this man

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Pretty relaxed day, I missed the cardio as I picked up an extra day of it earlier in the week as I was up early anyway, didnt do much else but train legs and rest. Got my dexa scan done today and bloods drawn which I have posted, I came back at 9.9% which I think it may he a little inflated as I went to it after doing legs fasted and dehydrated, apparenlty can elevate it a bit, so we will call it 9% . All in all pretty happy, I have posted a picture comparasion of where this all started for me in July 2024 after abusing my body with shit lifestyle, bad food, drinking and no gym, that picture is the day I decided to start taking my health and fitness seriously following a bad health condition I suffered, so while I didnt get the 7% I was hoping for on the dexa. putting those pictures side by side - I am pretty proud of what I have managed to do and as this log draws to an end in the next week or so, I am excited for the next stage of growth under team gold and cant wait to see what it bring and truly appreciate and am blown away by the support I have gotten over the journey. Thank you all and massive shout out to @Gold Standard Labs for making this possible.

wtf how is this the same person....?

Yeah man, I was doing two ab days a week, now I have cut it back a bit but still do around 15-20 sets a week, I love training abs, they say abs are made in the kitchen, but I think if you want them popping you need to hit them heavy

Everyone, thank you all for following this log, I achieved so much more than I set out to do, I have the support of the Evo family to thank.

I have started a new log today for my 12 week lean bulk, I am starting as of tomorrow, it would mean the world to me if you could head over and show some love on that one.

Thank you all.

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Alright - so bloods are in, I am just waiting for my Apo B test, I am not fully happy with my bloods, but after talking to a few people I have decided to push on with the next cycle, I have added a ton of things that I had taken out before, Berberine is back in, Red yeast rice is back in, Pantethine, Plant Sterols, Niacin, High dose physillium husk, Double the citrus bergamot, bit more fish oil - and I am going to start aromasin to control e2.



My metabolic numbers look great, but I cannot work out why I dont seem to convert IGF1



I am going to start the cycle next week, plan a high fibre low sat fat diet and then pull bloods again in 4 weeks and see where I am at.



After this cycle I am going to take a pretty decent amount of time back on just TRT (literal trt - not 200mg) haha and thinking of running a log with a heap of peptides to restore health, as our baby will be born so not alot of time to be cycling anywayX I want to squeeze this one in, but thats months away now.

Holy cow man, check out those intercostals. Inspiring!

SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Alright - so bloods are in, I am just waiting for my Apo B test, I am not fully happy with my bloods, but after talking to a few people I have decided to push on with the next cycle, I have added a ton of things that I had taken out before, Berberine is back in, Red yeast rice is back in, Pantethine, Plant Sterols, Niacin, High dose physillium husk, Double the citrus bergamot, bit more fish oil - and I am going to start aromasin to control e2.



My metabolic numbers look great, but I cannot work out why I dont seem to convert IGF1



I am going to start the cycle next week, plan a high fibre low sat fat diet and then pull bloods again in 4 weeks and see where I am at.



After this cycle I am going to take a pretty decent amount of time back on just TRT (literal trt - not 200mg) haha and thinking of running a log with a heap of peptides to restore health, as our baby will be born so not alot of time to be cycling anywayX I want to squeeze this one in, but thats months away now.

Man.... you just keep getting leaner! Your waist looks legit crazy hey! Had to come here and comment when I saw the new image for your profile pic.

Okay bro so there's a little bit to unpack here so I'll do it in order of what you posted.

Masteron and lipids: DHT's will typically smash lipids. The supplements you pulled are foundational for CHL health, but also a big part of the picture when running DHT's is healthy fats in your nutrition. I'm not entirely certain of what your nutrition looks like but don't be afraid to have your unsaturated fats, and particularly Omega 3's and 9's (all good for CHL health and also most organs health) in your diet:

- Fish
- Dark chocolate
- Walnuts and macadamia nuts
- Avocado

Some low hanging fruit here

Liver numbers: Mostly indicative of heavy training but the elevated Bilirubin from low copper like you mentioned. Keep doing what you're doing.

Kidney: Indicative of dehydration (normally) or early stages of kidney damage. How many L's of water before this test? How many L's are you drinking each day and are you getting enough potassium into your diet?

**NEED TO ADD IN ASTRAGALUS ROOT EXTRACT AT 1, 200MG - 2, 400MG/ DAY ALONGSIDE DIETARY CHANGES LISTED ABOVE TO SUPPORT KIDNEY FUNCTION**

Low IGF-1: Simply because you pulled a lower insulin measurement than previous tests. Insulin is the main driver of conversion of GH into IGF-1. Few other things could impact this measurement as well. How many carbs in your diet at the moment? Is your BG often low?

DHEA: No worries here. Within range.

E2: Okay... So first of all, are you experiencing any e2 related symptoms? If not this is okay because Mast antagonizes e2 activity at the receptor particularly in breast tissue so even with elevated e2 if you're not experiencing any other symptoms this may be okay. ALSO Masts effectiveness as an AI seems to vary person to person. Worth considering.

If you're experiencing e2 related symptoms you've got a few options, and you may use a combination of them. Just some to consider:

- Increase injection frequency (if not already every day)
- Decrease body fat (testosterone undergoes aromatization inside fat cells so more fat = more e2)
- Swap your mast for a compound that actively reduces e2 (Primo, ideally, it's more predictable, but EQ would also work ** BE CAREFUL AND CONSERVATIVE EQ COULD SEND YOU TOO FAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION)
- Oral AI

Bloodwork summary:

Not atrocious but worth keeping an eye on. I would recommend implementing the dietary changes listed above, adding the supps mentioned back in, and check again in 4 weeks. Should see an improvement.

@LevButlerov A good one here

Awesome response mate. Thanks for going into so much detail!

 

[LevButlerov]

Everyone, thank you all for following this log, I achieved so much more than I set out to do, I have the support of the Evo family to thank.

Thank you all.

Man ur physique is crazy
Solid log update btw and damn I wish I had a RHR of 50
Part of the e2 thing is just finding your sweetspot in terms of what works for you and being patient with the process but i feel u r gonna get there very soon and I guess its all part of learning on your bodybuilding journey

Man, just lots of volume, and I do alot of cable work, the thing about abs is frequency and treat them like a normal muscle group, overload them.

My fav movements are ab wheel, cable woodchoppers and decline crunches
