Approved Log My First Cycle LOG - 16 Years Natural lifter

[Struman]

Hello brothers
I have been absent for quite some time now, unfortunately my father passed away a few weeks back and I took some time off for clarity and closure. Here I am, finally felt that spark to write again and keep this log up and running.
Over the last few weeks I did manage to stay on top of my cycle, not missing dosages and pins, workouts have gotten a little bit scarce, with me managing to do at least 3 good sessions a week, noticeable drop from my 5 sessions a week but in light of all that's happened I'm satisfied with that. I have also managed to meal prep on a regular basis with my macros still being at 400 gr carbs, protein at 300 gr and fats at 110 gr. Starting this week I will be changing the diet a little bit with toning down on the carbs, dropping to 320-330 grams and see where that takes me. Blood work is still to be done, I was supposed to do it a few weeks back but will definitely do that by the end of this week.

I personally do think that my estrogen is a little high, cause I do feel like I'm holding extra water and occasionally I do feels nipples being sensitive. I did order some Arimidex 1mg tabs that are supposed to come by the end of the week,
As soon as I get the blood work done I'll post the results and I would like some guidance on the Arimidex dosing.

Test is still at 250 a week, GH is at 3iu at night before bed.

Fasting blood glucose varies between 80-90 and I'm happy with that.

Here is a side by side comparison from when I started vs now.

Stay safe, stay strong !

Sincere condolences brother at the passing of your father.
You have done extremely well to keep things moving forward in any capacity brother during this period.
I look forward to seeing things amp up a bit more in the next few weeks.

@Struman so sorry about your father. I was wondering where you were and hoping everything was ok.

Your progress pictures do not disappoint! You’re a testament to what I preach to newbies, that if you are dialed in beforehand you’ll get the results you’re looking for. You look fantastic! I wonder if you should change your diet at all. What I see is a masterpiece in progress. Will pulling carbs now to get a more finished look actually prevent you from gaining more mass in the end? I’m not sure but perhaps you’ve already thought of that.

I only have experience with aromasin so I can’t advise on the arimidex, but as I understand arimidex is more forgiving than aromasin in the short term. For me, occasional nipple sensitivity has always been sub 100 e2. Which should be addressed but far from an emergency *for me *

thanks brother
I actually decided to stay with the 400 gr of carbs per day until the end of the cycle which is in 8 weeks and try to gain as much as I can before making adjustment. I am still cruising at 218lbs but the last two weeks were a little chaotic with the diet. Did a meal prep this past Sunday so I am back on track.
Blood work just came out and E2 is at 186 so pretty high and will be looking for guidance into ai dosing.

Thanks for the support and kind words.

Quick update
Did blood work last week on Thursday morning, I pin the test on Monday and Thursday every week, a total of 250 split into 2 doses. On Thursday I did the blood draw and pinned a little later, so after the draw not before. As I have mentioned I do feel an occasional nipple sensitivity but so far there is nothing forming there, I check constantly cause I was a little worried. I'm still waiting for the Arimidex at 1mg/tab to arrive so I can start that. Any recommendations as far as doing that ?

Also ordered NAD+ and GHK-CU, I did try the NAD+ from a friend who has a vial and I really liked it especially at 25mg before the workout, did wonders for me, took it for 3 days and I can definitely feel a change in energy levels in workout and in general throughout the day.

Stay Safe, Stay Strong !

@Struman when it comes to balancing out your estrogen, everybody is going to be a little bit different. I have found that people in North America are more prone to estrogen issues than people who are in Australia.

It's very important to get your estrogen levels in line. You don't want to keep them elevated for too long. You can end up with gyno before you know it. @Struman

That is the purpose of this log right here and why the EVO family recommends it. @Struman because if your estrogen gets too out of whack, you can end up with a lot of side effects.

It always make sense to advise anyone to have these on hand BEFORE starting a cycle even if they never get used

@Struman wow that's a really cool review on NAD+
I've been reading more and more about it. It seems like it's getting extremely popular. And also GHK is getting popular too.

Arimidex. td is in 2 days, so far no issues, no tissue being formed and no side effects of the elevated e2 at all, but definitely anxious to start ai asap

I completely agree, it was a mistake on my end. Have some coming in 2 days and I'll start that ASAP

I have a friend who has been taking it for a while now and he says overall energy improved, better sleep and a feeling of presence and clarity. I personally tried it out for 3 days to see what the hype is and it really did work for me, there was a definite change in energy levels. As far as the ghk the potential benefits would be purely cosmetical, skin, hair and such. See some nice reviews for it, did a lot of researching and will give it a shot.
