Yeah! Pretty much.Ok so like a cage press but for dead lifts. Makes sense!

I know how that feels, I've been doing a lot of lower body plyometrics.Week 5 Day 3
Titled - I hate legs
Lying Leg Curls: 50,80,95,100,105,95,95
Leg Press: 25,45,60,60
DB Split Squats: 30,30,30
I had a really hard time walking after this, makes me feel like a lil bitch.
They just suck but I don’t want to be that guy in the gym lolI know how that feels, I've been doing a lot of lower body plyometrics.
I just feel like a wimp cause I push but like today after 3 sets I was hurting, walking sucked. Makes me feel weak cause I do half as much for legs as I do upper and my legs are still shotI have a love hate relationship with working legs. I never want to do them but I love the challenge of killing them at the same time. Just knowing I am about to have to work them is like PHUCK! Then in the middle of it I am an animal as long as I can push it.
You just confused the hell out of me... you pin .25 2X a week then say you thought Wednesday would be your trough day because you only pin once a week... Either way that sounds pretty high for 50-100mg a week. If pinning twice a week you shouldn't have much of a trough anyway. If @ 100 a week and your levels are 1000 that is impressive for sure...Well ****
Either my body is too damn good at this or I fucked yo but I pin .25 ml of 200mg/ml test c 2x a week. On Monday I pinned .25ml and got my levels tested on Wednesday. Figure that would be my trough since I pin once a week.
Came back at 1024.... what the ****
Needle’s to say the cycle is on hold again since I have to wait another month.
Thinking of running 4 weeks of superdrol instead rn cause **** I want to get big.
Does explain why I’ve been adding muscle like crazy though lol
Update: still pissed
100 mg a week, or 50mg on Monday and Thursday. so I went in on Wednesday cause that would be my lowest day I figured. I think I’ll have to pin one time a week for the week before I go in, but that’s not accurate of my typical levels so I don’t know what I’m gonna do lol.You just confused the hell out of me... you pin .25 2X a week then say you thought Wednesday would be your trough day because you only pin once a week...

I have gyno / psuedogyno and want to get it removed too but finding 5000 with life and a teenage daughter is pretty much impossible. So I still have it. At least the price is going down... Used to be a solid 10g.
Haven’t been on Ralox in 2 weeks now because insurance didn’t want to give it to me. Hence why I’m getting surgery. He has the free test I just don’t normally ask for them, but I’ll get the bloods emailed next time around so I can see everything.Yeah you won't have too much of a trough with that pattern only 3 days into the 5-6 day half life so about 75% left. Still pretty high, using an AI could be part of that. Less being converted to estro. Also just ask for the free test levels. If your doc doesn't know you were doing 2 a week let him know he might be okay with that. Otherwise he is probably thinking you should be in the 600-700 range a week after your shot.
Well if you want to honestly be around 750 then I would just drop it to about .2ml per shot or 80mg a week and do it the same way you did this time. Messing with the days you do it isn't going to give you an honest reading. Will just be adjusting when you take your shot in order to keep your dose higher.Haven’t been on Ralox in 2 weeks now because insurance didn’t want to give it to me. Hence why I’m getting surgery.

He knows I’m doing 2x a week, still wants me around 750 which I agree with. Think next time I’ll just hold off on an injection and get bloods the day I normal would inject, like on a Monday or Thursday and see where I’m at, maybe I’ll just pin the full amount on Monday and wait till next Monday to get bloods but I don’t know to be honest
Also Ralox wouldn't keep you from converting to estro, it would just block the estro from getting to your nipples. If not using an AI and just dropped the ralox it would explain the rebound feeling because estro might have been higher and going from not having any hit your mammary glands to getting hit suddenly could be the cause. Still if you can afford to get it done I would. I hate mine and I wouldn't have to be lean all the time if I didn't have it softening up my look.Well if you want to honestly be around 750 then I would just drop it to about .2ml per shot or 80mg a week and do it the same way you did this time.

Yeah I thought it could be rebound but my estrogen is in normal ranges. Has been since I last got it checked, maybe even lower since I’m on less test.Also Ralox wouldn't keep you from converting to estro, it would just block the estro from getting to your nipples.

I think it was a bit of both, I def felt something about an hour after pinning. Super skeptical and it wasn’t super strong but after talking to some guys, it seems like it’s possible to feel it after an hour since the half-life is like 12 ish hours apparently according to a few places I’ve read.I am sure it works immediately for something like nutrient partitioning, then again could have just been you were pumped as hell to be on cycle and got more out of the workout. Either way you benefited placebo or not. I never question placebo and try to make sure others don't question stuff like that either. If you believe then you will benefit by up to 30% regardless.
If drinking that much you don't need to limit your salt you are going to start flushing and your sodium levels will drop. You may need to just keep it where it is and allow yourself to adjust to it if you have kept it low for a time. Yes your BP will initially go up but that is temporary unless you have an actual sodium issue. Your diastolic is rather low so I wouldn't be stressing yourself too much.Yeah I eat a big meal of carbs right before then I eat a large protein meal after with a bit of carbs to help the body absorb everything a bit better.
I need to watch my salt, I think I’m super salt sensitive. Ordered a Bp cuff for at home so I’ll run some tests and see what happens when I eat a really salty meal vs nonsalty
The thirst is insane though, I’ve already finished a half of a gallon of water and that’s not including the protein shake I had. Still thirsty. I’ll probably end up drinking close to a gallon and a half a day without trying
Glad to have ya!Sub’d. Here to join the party.
this sounds interesting, you could do this in the smith machine also right?Essentially it’s a deadlift but you’re pulling the bar against the rack as you go up to engage your back more. So you’re leaning back slightly and really pulling the bar back in to the pillars of the rack as you go up
I don’t see why not! The point is to have a good lean back so you can really pull the bar in to you by using your Latsthis sounds interesting, you could do this in the smith machine also right?
Maybe even do this with a snatch grip to active the lats more? I’m going to try this, thanks!I don’t see why not! The point is to have a good lean back so you can really pull the bar in to you by using your Lats
Yup! I’ve tried all kinds of variations, I find shoulder width to work the best for me in terms of activating my whole back. Supinated was good for my upper back but I couldn’t hold on to the weight long enough to enhance properly.Maybe even do this with a snatch grip to active the lats more? I’m going to try this, thanks!
Interesting! I was and it’s gone up, I use to be about 140 during lifts. Not a huge change but I just have a higher resting BP it seems. It’s down to 130 today but that could be because I didn’t pin my SD this am and it’s 3 half-lives out of my system now.Were you taking your BP during your lifts before? I mean I don't see anything too out of character here.... It is going to go up during a workout. You are stressing your body. That is 100% normal on cycle or not. Try some cayenne pepper extract, it normally helps drop BP. Also make sure you are getting in your potassium. Are you sure you are not just focusing so much on this that you are making yourself crazy? To me that is what it seems like.

Blood pressure after exercise
Exercise can increase blood pressure, but the effects are typically temporary. Your blood pressure should gradually return to normal after you finish exercising. The quicker your blood pressure returns to its resting level, the healthier you probably are.
According to guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and PreventionTrusted Source, “normal” blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg. This includes a systolic pressure reading under 120 mm Hg (the top number) and a diastolic pressure reading (the bottom number) under 80 mm Hg.
Exercise increases systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is a measure of blood vessel pressure when your heart beats.
Diastolic blood pressure is a measure of the pressure in the blood vessels between heartbeats. It shouldn’t change significantly during exercise. If it does, consult your doctor.
It’s difficult to say conclusively what blood pressure readings are considered healthy after exercise, as blood pressure varies from person to person. Normal levels for one person might be a sign of a problem for another person.
In general, though, high blood pressure after a resting period of up to two hours following exercise includes any reading greater than 140/90 mm Hg. Low blood pressure after exercise includes any reading lower than 90/60 mm Hg.
Effects of exercise on blood pressure
Aerobic activities such as swimming, cycling, and running put additional demands on your cardiovascular system. Your muscles need more oxygen than they do when you’re at rest, so you have to breathe more quickly.
Your heart starts to pump harder and faster to circulate blood to deliver oxygen to your muscles. As a result, systolic blood pressure rises.
It’s normal for systolic blood pressure to rise to between 160 and 220 mm Hg during exercise. Unless you’ve cleared it with your doctor, stop exercising if your systolic blood pressure surpasses 200 mm Hg. Beyond 220 mm Hg, your risk of a heart problem increases.
Different factors can influence how your cardiovascular system responds to exercise. Some of these factors include diet, medical conditions, and medications.
For instance, exercise hypertension is a condition that causes an extreme spike in blood pressure during physical activity. People with exercise hypertension can experience spikes in systolic blood pressure up to 250 mm Hg during exercise.
In general, your blood pressure should return to normal within several hours of a workout. Even then, you might notice that your blood pressure doesn’t return to exactly what it was before exercise. That’s because it’s normal for blood pressure to drop slightly within a few hours of exercise.

I’m on 10mg a day rn and it’s only helping so much, so I’m keeping an eye on it because I can’t let my distolic drop too much lower.Cialis works well for me when it comes to lowering blood pressure. Next cycle i will definitely be using it on a regular basis, like 5mg eod.
caber too but it is too harsh of a drug to constantly take for bp.
Combo of cialis and caber knocked my bp down to 95-100/55.
Also cholesterol looks fantastic. Your rbc count and hematocirt is lower tham mine has ever been. I am @ 0.52-0.53 now and that is just 100mg test plus hcg.
What compounds and doses are you currently running?I’m on 10mg a day rn and it’s only helping so much, so I’m keeping an eye on it because I can’t let my distolic drop too much lower.
I did have my gyno flare up a bit last night so I started exem at 6.25 mg every Monday and Thursday. See if that helps. Might be why I’m holding so much water. I feel less puffy. I am slightly dehydrated as well cause I didn’t stay in top of my water yesterday
