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 *
