Thanks mate.You are doing great on this. You're not over-training and you're maintaining your body. @waggat The stretching and yoga is extremely smart.

I found that if i do 7-10 minutes of stretching after my workout as well it helps with the stiffness. Just started the after workout stretches the last couple weeks. Definitely got a solid routine going. Give it 6-8 weeks of being faithful to your routine and you will be blown away by the results.Workout today was good. Felt really strong on the back exercises.

Didn't have the best sleep. Woke up about an hour earlier than I was hoping and couldn't get back to sleep. Whenever I sleep less, this is the issue. Never have a problem getting to sleep when I firstly go to bed.

I feel I need around 7 hours at least.
Looks like I was doing ok earlier in the month.
I'll take tomorrow off if I don't get a better sleep tonight.
Steak and salad is a solid Friday night staple, keeps protein high without loading junk in. Training looked good even on lower sleep, slower reps on leg press were smart and back extensions clearly hit the hammies right. Calf press weights are strong and finishing with treadmill plus core work keeps conditioning up. Once you lock in 7 hours consistently you’ll feel the difference in strength and recovery.Workout today.
Was ok... Nothing special. Decided to do slower reps on leg press that felt alright. Back extensions were strong. Can feel my hammies now.

Weight dropped a little again. I'm fully back to where I was before the big spike now.
View attachment 123482
Good work getting back to baseline on weight and not letting the spike throw you. Chest session looked solid, incline press into flys gave you that pump you mentioned and it carried through. Shoulder press and laterals both moved well, even with fatigue on the last set you still pushed through. Nice finish with close grip smith and pushdowns, plus cardio and stretching on top makes it a full day.Had a decent sleep so didn't take the day off.

Good approach dialing it back and making sure you’re actually feeling the back work instead of just chasing numbers. Pulldowns into 190x8 and chest supported rows at 65x10 show solid strength while still getting quality reps. Arms finishing with concentration and incline curls keeps balance, and the treadmill before and after rounds it out with extra conditioning.I Workout today.
Sometimes I get a bit carried away chasing weight increases so it's good to reset and make sure I am feeling the muscle working. Particularly with back.

Strong session today, good to see you stacking more confidence into the SLDLs while keeping reps controlled and safe for your back. The reverse lunges and high rep leg press will really carry over to balance and leg density, and calves on top round it out nicely.Workout today.
Was another good one. I'm enjoying hitting hammies. Getting more confident with SLDL's following lower back issues in the past. Still keeping reps high though which I'll continue to do.

You’re making clear progress in those pics, leaner lines coming through and the extra fullness is obvious compared to a few weeks back. Front and side shots both show better shape already, and the back relaxed has more width showing. Keep pushing the food and training steady, the 3 weeks are already paying off.Took new photos today. Two weeks since the last ones and four since the starting ones.
This is just over three weeks into the cycle. Week one was 330mg, week 2 was 375mg and now 425mg (previously TRT at 100-130mg/week).

good honest pictures. taking the pictures While relaxed is a good way to get an honest assessment. We got all the confidence that you're going to continue to improve. @waggatTook new photos today. Two weeks since the last ones and four since the starting ones.
This is just over three weeks into the cycle. Week one was 330mg, week 2 was 375mg and now 425mg (previously TRT at 100-130mg/week).

what differences do you notice on the increase of mg? i would have liked to see you start at the max dose right away @waggat This way, it gives the Esters a chance to build up.Took new photos today. Two weeks since the last ones and four since the starting ones.

Thanks mate. It's good to see the abs coming in. I'm happy to see some change in a short period of time.@waggat looking conditioned in these pics good job! i love the hard work you are doing. showing how its done!
Yeah mate looking forward to it!bros you should start seeing the cycle really kick in hard. @waggat Expecting big things out of you!! make sure you pushing those work outs.
Thanks mate. Figured I may as well keep taking them the same way as the first ones even if they're not the most flattering.good honest pictures. taking the pictures While relaxed is a good way to get an honest assessment. We got all the confidence that you're going to continue to improve. @waggat
Yeah would be keen to do that. Just have to work out how to pose.@waggat i would like to see you post after a hard workout. oil up, tan up, and shave. that should be your final pics of the log to boost yourself
Hey mate, was going to just start at 400 and run that but someone suggested I start around 300 and ease up. Not sure if I'll go to 500 or stop around 450 yet. Not sure I notice the increases week to week since they are pretty small. Definitely starting to notice more physique changes though and strength in the gym.what differences do you notice on the increase of mg? i would have liked to see you start at the max dose right away @waggat This way, it gives the Esters a chance to build up.
EVO family supports youThanks mate!
its a strategy, but the esters will still slow down peak concetrations anywayHey mate, was going to just start at 400 and run that but someone suggested I start around 300 and ease up.

EQ would make sense here since you’re aromatizing that high even with Adex daily. Dropping test slightly, say to around 300–350 mg, and matching EQ close to that will help balance out e2 without crushing it. EQ tends to lower e2 a bit so you may find you can back off the Adex once it stabilizes.Got an offer to be a logger for @PharmabolicsOz.
Mentioned that one thing I was wondering about is if I would have been better off running a lower test dose and introducing EQ due to my high aromatising.
Just an a reminder, currently on about week 4 of cycle (from trt) have worked up from about 330mg test E/week to 430.
My blood test 2 weeks into cycle had my E2 at 300 (range is <165) while using 0.33mg Adex 3 times a week.
I have since upped the Adex dose to 0.5mg ED.
Will be getting bloods this week.
Wanted to get thoughts on introducing EQ. Would I drop the T a bit? Would I run around 1:1 T to EQ?
A few more minor questions:
- Is it ok to use Test C instead of Test E?
- Is there an issue with 400mg/mL EQ? Have just read there can be issues with higher concentrations, eg PIP
@LevButlerov
Awesome thanks very much for the response mate.EQ would make sense here since you’re aromatizing that high even with Adex daily.

EQ tends to lower e2 a bit so you may find you can back off the Adex once it stabilizes.
Test C is fine to swap for Test E, they’re basically interchangeable other than release curve.
With 400 mg/ml EQ it really depends on the carrier, some labs make it smooth but many cause pip because of the solvent load, so split pins or warm the vial if needed. Get the new bloods before adjusting too much, but the plan makes sense on paper.![]()
Yes, EQ takes a few weeks to build in since it’s a long ester, usually around week 4 you’ll really feel it. The e2 effect can show sooner though, so monitor that once you start.Awesome thanks very much for the response mate.
Will it take a while for the EQ to 'kick in'? I've heard the effects on E2 can occur pretty quickly but assume it will take a few weeks for actual levels to get up. Would I drop the test dose straight away (as soon as I started the EQ)?
One thing I'd been thinking of recently was trialling Anavar. Could this be a good time to run it (while the EQ builds up)?

it can lower igf levels, but i had run a course of nolva/tamoxifen earlier this year for a gyno flare i had from tren. I started on 40mg daily for the first 2 weeks then ran 20mg daily for around 2 months untill gyno lumps were completely gone. Had my igf tested afterwards and was still mid to high range.Regarding my high estrogen levels, I think I've got them under control with 0.5mg armidex ED. Will get blood test next week to confirm.
Wondering if I should switch to aromasin after that.
Also regarding the minor gyno I may have, I'm thinking of taking the Nolvadex I got. Is this stuff bad? Like should I be really really certain I have new gyno to take it? And what would the dose be? 40mg/day?
Hey mate, saw that in your log. I think I'll have to do it. It's really hard to tell if there's new stuff there due to adolescent gyno but better to be safe.it can lower igf levels, but i had run a course of nolva/tamoxifen earlier this year for a gyno flare i had from tren.

Thanks mate.Been enjoying this log mate. Meals look great. Keep it up
Meals look awesome, good log, and please post bloods here as well too!I'm going to really interested with the blood test results later this week. I still feel my E2 will be elevated even on 0.5mg Adex per day.
I think I will start Nolvadex after the blood test as well.
Workout today.
Was a good one. Have been getting some good weights on back exercises even with incorporating a good squeeze in the contracted position.
Rear delts were on fire after the face pulls and cable flies which is good because in the past I've sometimes struggled to feel them.
Pumped out a few extra reps on the concentration curls. Might be time to try 20kg on the final set next time.

Back work is solid with controlled contractions and the pull variations hitting full range. You can move to 20 kg on concentration curls for the last set as you said and aim for 10 clean reps before raising again.Workout today.
Another good one. I'm really loving the combination of leg curls, SLDL's then reverse lunges.

Yes, Nolvadex will affect your e2 reading because it blocks estrogen receptors rather than lowering e2 itself, which can confuse blood test results. Hold off on starting it until after labs are drawn so you get a true e2 value, then add 20 mg daily if symptoms persist while keeping Adex at 0.5 mg EOD instead of ED to avoid rebound.Ok today I've been feeling some tingling in my nipples. Not sure how E2 can still be high on 0.5mg Adex ED and 430mg test.
I just took a second 0.5mg now.
I want to start the Nolvadex ASAP. Will this effect the E2 result in a blood test?
