Mate you should try HGP's suggested protocol - thats pretty much what my endo prescribed and thats how I got my hands on pharma AI.
I have been expecting e sides with trest but i think the arimistane (and maybe the srms too)is keeping me dry for now. Cant believe how awesome I feel at 100mg!

Yeah I’m gonna test again in a few weeks and see if it was just down to being at the end of an aggressive cut. If no joy I’m straight onto that protocol.

Trest is amazing - feels amazing throughout
 
Yesterday's tucker count & general feels:
157p, 488c, 157f for 3987cal

Thought Id better have a carby day to bump up glyc storage as I have been gassing out at the gym last few mornings.

Eating, sleeping and not talking to random strangers are a bit of a struggle right now. I got to the gym at 2.30am today, and got talking to the only other dude in here, a young bloke who is usually done by 4.30am when I get in. Sometimes I see him later on the weekends, and he is always raving out with the headphones on, dancing randomly and just generally not giving a **** while everyone is laughing at him. I like people like that so I started chatting to him by asking him which preworkout he takes. Turns out he has really bad tourettes, and the dancing is his way of channelling it. He's also ridiculously strong, we did some deads and he worked up to 210kg which was, im pretty sure, at least 3 times his bodyweight. What an amazing dude.
 
Sat 28th July Deads:

Worked up to 5x5 with 210kg. Back pumps were killing me.
Afterwards I did some pullu and and stuff. It was pretty cool having a training partner, even if I did feel like a big fat weak POS next to him haha.

I am struggling to eat on trest.

Ever thought about a digestive aid, like Betaine HCL? Helping me to not feel as full after a meal, making room for more.

Thanks for the tip HGP.

To be honest, I have been waiting for my body to adapt to the stack thinking this might pass. Also, feeling full and naturally not overeating is somewhatbof a novelty for me, so I have kind of been enjoying it. However I feel I may need to do something about it soon or I might waste the cycle.
 
Trest is wet. I lost at least 3 kg when coming off, keep that in mind. If you have less appetite on cycle, just make it a cut, there are no rules preventing you from doing it.
Seems to me that your strength gainz are good! Moving heavy azz weight, bro!

As long as you don't drop the leg and lift it up suddenly after a full stop, I doubt it will happen to you. I was trying to squeeze out a forced last rep...will never do that again.

Hamstrings respond best to eccentric training anyway......this is a particularly good article on training them.....

Its a bit up and down. I feel unhungry for a few days and struggle to eat at maintenance (around 3300cal) then ravenous for half a day and can easily put away 4k. Trest really messes with my head.

For me happens with any oral. Never felt "awesome" on them. Also, just when trying to bulk they curb appetite -and may give me cravings while cutting.

Saturday 11th August

Came in to deadlift this morning but I cant. Its weird, nothing hurts and everything is moving properly at low weights but at 180kg as soon as I take the slack out my body is just saying no. So just going to hit 140kg for 3x5 and do some pullups. Think i might be due for a deload as fter really pushing myself at work and in the gym for the last 2 weeks.
 
Havent logged for a week because I have been really sick with chest and sinus infection. Im still sick now, and am going to abandon this cycle for PCT and antibuotics

Hey BennyMagoo79,

Take good care of yourself, buddy!

Sounds like your body needs a rest. Listen to your body and you’ll be back killin’ it in the gym soon enough!

Get well!! Get strong!
 
Sat 25th August Skwaats
First session back after over 2wks off. Body feels pretty good, and i am exactly the same weight as last weigh in - 104.5kg. Supps-wise I am currently running 30mg ED clomid - to decrease to eod after today - and 4 pumps of iconogenin (Iconic Formulations topical laxo). I started the laxo a few days ago and am loving the instant pump it brings on.

Worked up to 150kg for 3x5. These felt easy to push but difficult to balance on the descent - kept shifting to the right, however less so with each set. 3rd set:
Invalid Link Removed
BW pullups 5x6
Leg ext 70kgx20, 80kgx20, 80kgx20 - wow was really expecting 70 to be a struggle
Conventional deadlift, beltless: 180kg 3x5. Was going to do rdls as curl machine was constantly occupied but as soon as I relised my hook grip has healed I decided to hit conv deads for some sets. They felt great.
 
Monday 27th August
Got curious yesterday and took 0.5mg anastrozole prescribed to me by my endo. Wont be doing that again: it made me super cranky all afternoon and this morning I feel like the tinman after spending the night weeing. Estrogen is my friend.
Benchpress: 110kgx3, 120kgx2, 120kg 3x3 Felt surprisingly confident with 120 this morning, usually bench takes a hit during PCT especially after taking 2wks off.
Db rows 45kg for 5x5
Db lateral raise 1.5s (1 up, .5down, up again) 5kg for 5x10
Snatch grip push press 40kgx10, 50kg 2x8

Weird. Adex does nothing to me, besides urinating more frequently, if e2 was up. I think the crankyness was not related to the adex.
