Bros, good job posting up your bloodwork. It's good to see your dosing versus what the bloodwork translates to. I think it's pretty much on point for the gear you're using. Means you have some good gear. @Flash_is_Fast
You'll never go wrong getting in some good blood work numbers. @Flash_is_Fast now you have something to fall back on and come back as a reference point.
@Flash_is_Fast definitely need to get your estrogen in line. If you keep it elevated for too long, you could end up with some issues that are harder to reverse.
Steroid cycling absolutely will mess up your blood work as you're seeing right here. The key is when you come off, do your liver numbers and kidney numbers get back to where they should be? That's the important thing. @Flash_is_Fast
Should I make any changes?
Could my ALT/AST be off from heavy training, or would it not be that far out of range?

@Flash_is_Fast glad to hear the estrogen is controlled. The daily injections usually do help with spikes in levels. Nice update.

It could be off from training I would try to up n2guard as well @Flash_is_Fast
it could but let's be honest. I don't believe that's the case. I would give your liver a break for a while.
at the end of the day if the numbers show they're elevated then the numbers don't lie.
AST and ALT would not be off from that. Your kidney numbers could be off a bit though.
Could be from training but that's pretty high for just training..
Your neutrophils were pretty high too. Were you feeling sick at all when you did that bloodwork?
Whats your supplement stack look like? You're in the states so you should be able to get some N2guard from N2BM pretty quick.
At the very least you should be running tudca, NAC, and milk thistle for liver support

Was feeling a bit like I had some allergies or a slight ainus infection.
I'll get some N2G ordered.
Current health supp stack is:
-Health:
Multi-Vit
3g C
800iu E
Psyllium Husk
Probiotic
2500mg Mg threonate before bed
-other/fun
20mg Yohimbine HCl (10mg before cardio, rest split through day)
3g ALCAR (1.5g pre cardio)
20g Creatine
500mcg SLU
20-30mg Cardarine
Any issues with keeping test at 350?
In the interim I'll drop the orals. Guess they were legit something.

If just heavy training you’d likely just see AST elevated (AST is found in muscle tissue, whereas ALT is more liver-specific)
Appreciate it!Nice session bro. Did a ton of work after your deadlifts which is boss level
Good insight!
I'll drop orals for now and keep T dose same.
Good plan
@Flash_is_Fast Solid numbers bro!
Yea dropping the orals will help for sure. Your illness could've inflated the numbers a bit too. I think if you get some good organ support going you'd be fine to continue as you were.
No need to drop the test. The orals would be the biggest factor contributing to the high liver enzymes.

Its amazing the way they can really fuck the macros of a meal at those restaurants LOL. I'm always thinking the exact same thing when I look up the nutritional facts of a chain restaurant meal. Must be loads of oil and butter in every part of the meal I think2/12 W10

New job will have me traveling a bit. Ill definitely have less of a controlled schedule for training than i have recently, and less options for mid day food through 3 days a week.
Diet: For the first month I'll hold cals where they are. Im a solid 183, between 3% & 20% bf at the moment.ill get some check in pics, but I'm fairly happy with where I am based on where I started.
Training: Have a shorter PPl 6day split and Push/Pull 4 day split cued up. Cardio will look different as well, sometimes after weight training.

You seem to like a lot of bodyweight training so I bet you figure out a way to make it work. The real question will be how do you get all that cardio in that you love so much
Thanks man! Should be a good time.
Probably getting a gym membership to use on the road, and Ill travel with some running shoes and possibly a bike depending on the company car. Trying to get a model Y, which should fit it.
Yea I've seen people at the trailhead with model Y's before. You can get a hitch carrier or I've seen guys pull them right outta the back. Tesla's are really popular where I live. Crazy how many EVs you see at the trailhead. Then there's me with my F-150 LOL.
I've noticed a lot of the fancier EV owners like the Rivians and Hummer EVs also ride Santa Cruz....funny how that works eh lol
Yes, going to have to figure out meal prep and training.
If I have some weeks that I can only get 3 good lift sessions in should I just keep with PPL - or do a upper lower or full body?
Im thinking 3 days lifting, 3 days cardio. The decision is PPL, full body, or upper lower - does it even matter if i just get good intensity and enough volume?
Cardio is staying. 4hours a week is a hard minimum.
You'd laugh if you saw my stables. I dont get sponsored stuff anymore, but can still get hefty discounts.

Im thinking 3 days lifting, 3 days cardio.
I had an F150 for a while - loved it. But I end up in parking garages in the city and it was a pain to park. The Mrs wants me to get a sprinter - but Im a cheap bastard.
Ive had quite few santa cruz bikes, you'd laugh if you saw my stable and all the bikes I've gone through over the last decade. It's about time to build up a new one!

meal prep is easy just prep the meals freeze and take with you, any microwave is yours @Flash_is_Fast
on the training just go with 2 full body sessions per day and rest home sessions
why do you ignore my podcast question?
Man.. I'm not interesting! I'm not good with sharing like that, maybe I'll come around.meal prep is easy just prep the meals freeze and take with you, any microwave is yours @Flash_is_Fast

2 full body a day? Im confused. Sounds like PPL at home, full body on the road?
Wont have access to a microwave until PM, and can buy whatever I want when traveling.
Santa Cruz builds some nice bikes but I'd only buy one if I got a discount like you lol. The builds are underwhelming when you compare them dollar for dollar. For higher end I like Specialized a lot and I got a YT also. Bang for buck YT builds are untouchable
Santa cruz has been a profit monster since the OG owners sold it. Nothing new. Last gen frames were still good, but the newest V5/6 or whatever are getting heavy and the colors - jesus.
YT is a great move. Good geo and better suspension kinematics.
progress has plateaued. Might be time to bump up or add something.
Weight is fairly steady after upping carbs to around 225g avg.
Not as fat as when I started.
Been trying to do some new foods. Chicken and veggies, one with rice, I actually love bland food.
And for high carb days:
1cup oats
1/2tbspn cacao powder
2 tbspn PBfit powder
3 tbspn honey
1 sliced banana
Oikos Pro banana greek yogurt - good combo!
And an action shot of the smallest guy on here... home gym, so ring face pulls cause I got no stack (video wont upload?)

I know, calfs... glutes, hams, & calves are in notice. Left leg is still lagging some after surgery. Almost 5 months out now.
Time to go big?

Looking really strong and lean bro. You aren't even flexing your legs so we can't judge those. You ride bikes so I bet you got some crazy detailed calves too.
By go big what are we talking? Bulk? Or big cycle? Or both lol
Both!
Thinking 16 weeks, top out at 500test/250eq/100mast
Mast is for vibes, dht makes me happy. Maybe get some dbol on hand in case estro crashes.
Mast is for vibes, dht makes me happy. Maybe get some dbol on hand in case estro crashes.
Of course haha
What's the goal? That will determine how you go forward. You're pretty lean so you're in a great place to do anything really
I'm planning the same cycle for myself this summer. Can't go wrong with that combo
Add 5-8lbs lean mass
Squat back above 315 for 5
Bench 225 for 8
Dont get fat
Be happy the whole time
Stay healthy and injury free
Sounds all very reasonable with that cycle.
EQ is good for endurance athletes too it will improve your riding unlike most compounds

but I wouldn't go 250 eq and 100 masteron.500mgs test pyramid up
150eq and 50mgs masteron
add some tbol too @Flash_is_Fast
Going big is on pause.
I've had some early BPH symptoms, started about 4 years ago. the urologist did all the things, and said I shouldnt have a problem (low flow, not emptying bladder). Its under control. I started on tamsulosin, taking as needed. Most of the time i wouod take a daynor two off, and when symptoms were bad take half a capsule for a few days.
Recently I found I was taking it ed, and now using full caps (400mg) of tamsulosin daily to keep from having issues.
So - i found out about issues with my father b/c of his current health challenges and issues, and also that my uncle's BpH is so severe he has a catheter.
Backing down to trt dose, 160mg/mo a d dropping gh. Adding saw palmetto daily. Made a. Appointment with my uro to get ahead of it. So, today its managed, but with new info, have to be smart.
Will look into durastride/finasteride, but sides are not good - but not everyone gets sides. So...
On the flip - is there anything safe if i wanted a boost?

Safe choice brother. Full physical health is the most important thing to get squared away before anything else is done. I hope it gets sorted for you quickly
Thanks man - getting old suxxx!Safe choice brother. Full physical health is the most important thing to get squared away before anything else is done. I hope it gets sorted for you quickly

how serious is this? you self diagnosing it? @Flash_is_Fast
but if you want to get on finastride thats going to mess up your prostate, you sure?
No, not self Dx'ing.
Urologist did the finger thing, bladderscan to determine that I wasnt voiding fully. My PSA is low, and his assessment of prostate was that it was not enlarged. Its a wierd thing.
I am using the new family history combined with the increased need for the alpha blocker (tamsulosin) as an indicator that I need to check it out.
It probably just needs tren. We'll see if the uro concurs.

Checking in on you bro and you're looking lean and mean! Great back detail!
Thanks - lots of things happening all at once - havent been able to log.
Still training, eating as clean as I can, and trying to keep progressing.
I'll be back. Just need to settle in to the new role at work and get through the next 3 months of training, co-travel, & learning the ropes.
For sure brother, EVO will be here for you. Totally understandable and I know in the background you'll be keeping things in check.
Make sure and keep us posted on that possible prostate issue.
went and got blood drawn this morning, and doc only ordered a cbc and bmp (8 test/ basic metabolic panel).
Last week i spoke to him (my gp) about high potassium, BPH concerns, and i thought he was drawing for DHT and PSA again.
The main concern from him was the 6.4 potasssium. Thats heart artack range.
All other kidney markers were normal (creatinine was high, but he understood i take creatine, etc)
So he did an ECG and it was normal, not what would be expected with severe electrolyte imbalance.
I havent had any symptoms of high potassium, no arythemias, no cramps, nothing.
Potassium has been highly elevated last two draws. Havent got results from today. I don't think the phlebotomist could've punctured muscle twice - seems unlikely - but ut would cause high potassium.
Is high potassium something others have seen and what are your thoughts on it?

hgh potassium could have been just from your diet, I wouldn't panic on it @Flash_is_Fast
im guessing its just something you need to hydrate more for
though you havent updated diet or training a month+ so I could be wrong
Potassium back in range, just a BMP so nothing else new to share.
BPH is unconfirmed changes. Cant see a doc till mid april. He's probably not gonna do anything except offer finastride or surgery so I'll do it my way.
Been on TRT of 160mg last 3 weeks and will continue that for 2-3 more.
Will be starting a new 16week cycle shortly. goals: improve athletic performanceVO2 efforts, 5rm squat, 5rm bench. Add to delts, chest, quads, calfs.
plan is:
Wks 1-2: maintenance cals
160mg Test C
100mg Primo
0.5mg finasteride (1 single dose for the first week if boners die so does the finasteride. If sex drive is good, slowly titrate in. Getting Prostate imaging as soon as I can get the order in. Probably didnt mention I broke my neck a while back and have c1-3 fused. It causes some weird issues and BPH symptoms could very well be neurogenic b/c symptoms started a within 12 months of that crash).
Wks 2-4:
200 test C
150 Primo
- blood draw to see where E2 and PSA are. Assume all good
Weeks 5-10:
250 test
200 Primo
20mg Var pre wo
Weeks 11-16:
250 test
200 Primo
70 tren A
10mg Winny
The only thing in this cycle I don't have experience in is Primo. From what Ive read DHT derivitives arent active in prostate, and theres human studies backing that on proviron - but not on mast or primo. So going to test it. Maybe surgery will be sooner, or maybe I can handle finasteride, or maybe ill get struck by lightening. Its all very exciting.
Backup plan if Primo doesn't agree is EQ.

Posted earlier in thread.
Potassium was high, bit only a little on last 2 months, and psa went from 1.1 to 1.4 on last 2 (psa ramge 0-4 is normal).

You're fine stay that level
Prostate update:
20211st exam (160mg TRT past 10 years, nothing fun just trt)
Symptoms, really bad urinary urgency and frequency (like every hour) and severe difficulty urinating.
Exam Prostate was normal size upon physical exam (no imaging) PSA was 1.1. Kidney function normal
Tx Plan: Flomax (tamsulosin) and observe
Result: urinary symptoms fixed. BUT the med is a selective alpha1A-adrenergic receptor antagonist, reducimg my max cardio capacity so racing pretty much became much more difficult (not being at full power).
2025 Dr Visit: scheduled kidney and prostate imaging. All markers on bloodwork look good. PSA is still low, especially knowing that sex and cycling will elevate it and Im doing alot of both (highest PSA was 1.4 in Jan/feb).
There's possibilities its not my prostate, but the fact that tamsulosin/flomax helped point back to prostate.
Will keep this updated. Maybe it can help someone.
Training update:
Avg weight: 183 lbs
BF: about same
Diet: maintaining at 2400 kcal. 240 carbs/protein rest in fat. Some higher days, some lower days. Mostly clean
Training: did 5x5 for a month or so. Going back to PPL. Cardio is about 3-5hrs per week. Always a little something in the morning and started running some. Felt wierd at first b/c hip replacement, but getting better. Still VERY slow (~6mph) for 2 miles.
PED:
TRT 30mg/d
Reta 1mg/wk
Mots-c: 1mg before hard cardio
Cardarine: 10mg pre cardio (all)
Adderall 15mg/d
Support/health:
Omega 3: 6mg/d
Psyllium with meals
Creatine 5g/d
Beta Alanine 4g/d
Huperzine
Alpha GPC
Mots-C update:
Well, VO2 appears to be climbing. Take it with a grain of salt. New job has some real mental fatigue. Tough boss whos never satisfied, lots more travel, and intense onboarding/training while concurrently keeping customers on point and prospecting. Its alot. But improve,ents despite fatigue and flowmax (which negatively effect cardiac output - garmin VO2 is using HR vs power meter, so data error is negligable - the changes are real).
Training:
Wk1: 5m 350w baseline effort to est VO2max change. Will perform again in a few weeks

good to hear you're managing it
@Flash_is_Fast three to five hours of cardio is pretty good. I think it is definitely more than most people are getting so it's a great way to keep your heart strong.
Prostate is a big problem. I've read that half of men have some sort of cancer cells in their prostate. It's not something to mess with. I'm glad you're taking it seriously. @Flash_is_Fast
@Flash_is_Fast Bros, the urinary thing is something we all got to deal with as men, very common. I had to get a couple things done for myself too.
Nice job making this simple to follow. I like the way you structure this and I like the PEDs that you're using. It's very impressive. @Flash_is_Fast

Fantastic update brother. Ton of information logged here. Meals and training sessions were on point and considering you were travelling as well were quite awesome. Sorry to see the prostate hasn't played nice. Really pushing along well legend

busy but pushing hard
really nicely done on the bench 115 is gtg
@LevButlerov @HarleyGuy @BeMe
Want some feedback on a summer cycle. Training will have work interruptions, but on the whole lifting will be consistent. Currently on week 2 of test at 350/wk. Body comp is good, carbs are coming up to 300+, fat intake is really low (sub50g most days)and strength is coming up.
Goal is grow - emphasis in order on upper chest, back thickness, arms calfs, forearms (so everything but disproportionately chest/upper chest). Split is dialed in. Ive learned lower volume works better for me. Cardio will be switching to a mix of sprints and long easy endurance rides when time permits. Lifting is priority though.
Influences:
Want to maintain good feeling b/c stress will be high from work and our daughter moving out
Cycle weekly
Test 350
Mast 140
Primo 140
Thoughts?

I see how busy you are but still getting the workouts and lots of cardio last month too. I love seeing you update your log when you're able bro, we're all still following!
Cycle looks reasonable. If goal is growth did you consider EQ instead of Primo, and how long were you planning on the 350/140/140?
Like 14-16 weeks.
Ive used EQ & test in college 200/200 and loved it. My worry is anxiety with other stressors - i don't think it would happen but if it does Im stuck for a few weeks - unless anxiety is really caused by low E and my shoulders will tell me real quick when that starts. Then I could bump testAlso considered tren but samesies.
You think EQ? The other thought was 175Eq/70mast (for the vibes).
Im still about 10-15 pounds under my max weight in my late 20's, if that matters (think that was the 200/200 test/eq run) hardest Ive gone was 575 tren/week solo. Most cycles under 500mg. Like 100 test/350 winny (all time favorite - winny kicks the dog shit outta var - like tren versus test kicks its ass).

considering we had 1 update in last 2 weeks
hard to say @Flash_is_Fast diet training not clear now for you tbhbut masteron and primo dont need to be stacked, i think eq is better for you
300mgs test 50mgs of eq to start with proviron and anavar could be a cycle but again need some udpates
That makes sense. Uodates are tough to atay on top of. Can barely keep up with my work/family!
So the trend of the most expensive shit isnt better
!
Is 50mg is eq doing anything?
I think I see where you're going with it though. Taper up the eq to avoid e2 crash sneaking up. The var was ok before and easier on the body than Winny. And Proviron will fill in for the feeling of dht?
And start at the total MG I'm at now.

50mgs eq is can crash e2 easy so always go slow! proviron would help harden you upThat makes sense. Uodates are tough to atay on top of. Can barely keep up with my work/family!
