Workout has been consistent 4 days/week with one week off due to a flu bug that went around. Diet has been consistently clean. Cardio, well only the best kind *wink* *wink*

Side Effects:

Nightly sweating
Few Pimples


I feel absolutely great on this cycle, and I havent felt this great in years. The dr. wasnt too happy with my total Test results, he gave me the speech about how it causes prostate cancer. Of course, I know my test is high, but we'll see how far I crash when I start my PCT.

As for the results, I'm extremely happy. My intentions were to gain muscle slowly and lose alot of BF while maintaining as much muscle as possible. The Nolvadex helped out in keeping the water weight down. I also noticed vascularity increased tremendously, which is great.

Hopefully I'll keep most of my gains off cycle...but I'll keep this thread updated.

just as an aside run the test enan a week longer than the EQ .. because of the difference in the size of the esters this will allow them to clear at the same time and you can start PCT properly

How did your LH actually go up after 12 weeks? Am I missing something or shouldn't LH be suppressed?

Thanks Glen, I'll go ahead and do that

Question, do my test levels seem normal for this cycle @ 3,766 ng/dl?
Also, should I be concerned about my T3 (thyroid) levels being elevated or is it typical of a cycle? Thanks!

 

[glenihan]

your test levels seem "normal" given your cycle .. i honestly don't know the answer about T3

I caught that too. How did that happen? Interested in finding out why.
