1st set of bloods at 225 pounds around beginning of Feb 2011. My initial goal was to lean bulk with a bola/phera bridge and then cut for the summer after wards. I will use these as my baseline. My bloods came back no good so I had to change the game plan.

Ok.. 4 or so weeks later so beginning of March of 11 i got my lipids done again since those are what needed work. I ran cycle support, toco 8, red rice yeast, coq10, erase, and lean xtreme. I did a touch more cardio. I cut carbs heavily on non training days and dropped from 225 to about 212. I also cut the creatine to only what is in my preWO drink. Here was my lipids after the cut. Strength went down a bit after this. Lost approx. 10-15 off all my max lifts. The goal here was heart health and lower my estrogen levels. I didn’t get hormones done on this test because I was being a cheap ass :lol:
Here are pics after the cut, sorry there a little blurry was hard taking alone:
Here are the bloods after that:
Cholesterol, total 129 100-199
Triglycerides 91 0-149
HDL Cholesterol 34 low >39
VLDL Cholesterol Cal 18 5-40
LDL Cholesterol Calc 77 0-99
LDL/HDL Ratio 2.3 0.0-3.6
*********************************************************
Decided to start a 6 week Osta cycle since its supposed to be easy on liver/lipids. I front loaded 50mg for the 1st day, 25mg for the 2nd day and 12.5 to 25mg the rest of the 6 weeks. I ran toco 8 throughout the 6 weeks and AI Stoked and PES Erase from weeks 2-6 to help with any possible shutdown I've read about in other logs.
Pics end of week 3 beginning of week 4, weight was around 213:
I started feeling a bit shutdown around this time. No morning wood. Never was in the mood unless my "main" girl initiated it. Was able to perform without any problems though.
Strength wise, it really started shooting up around this time. Was able to blast through sets. My muscles felt hard and full most of the time. My diet was super clean throughout. My appetite was way down on this was not as hungry as i usually am. Fat seemed to come off and muscles seemed to stay maintained without constant nourishment.
I started pinning 500mcg of hgh frag a few times a day into the annoying belly fat that I have around week 4 as well.
*********************************************************
Final after 6 weeks. Weight 215. Libido stayed the same as it was at the 4 week mark. Strength shot up a little more. I am lifting a little bit more now then i was at a heavier 225.
Here are final pics after my last workout on Osta:

If want I was taking was Osta like it was labeled and from a supposedly good source. My lipids appear to have taken a slight hit especially my good cholesterol is way down.
My test is way low now and estrogen is still high as it was before even after 2 - almost 4 week runs of Erase.
To correct my lipids again now I will run coq10, red rice yeast, cycle support and toco 8.
What does everyone recommend to correct my hormones? Run a low dose SERM for 4 weeks or run a test booster? I'd like to get my test back up and lower that estrogen.
On hand I have HCGenerate, Testapro, tamxoifen, clomid, toremifen, letro, Exemestane, and topical formestane.
Any questions, comments, concerns, ideas, would be helpful?
I tried not to leave anything out but it was a lot of info to put together for everyone so let me know and ill try to add it in.
