Thread: First Cycle: 400mg Test E

I agree with the others your Hematocrit is in range, no need to donate.

Yea, looks like another estrogen (sensitive) and prolactin tests are in order.

Good luck.

It's been 2 weeks since blood work and I started taking 25mg of diphenhydramine and it's helped with sleep so much. I was going to get the prolactin test but now I am thinking of waiting a few more weeks until I finish the cycle as I'd be getting complete blood-work post cycle.

Update: 9 Weeks completed.

Daily averages for the last 3 weeks are 190.5lb/4180 calories/200g protein/136g fat/536g carb/45g fiber. Lower body training has been going well, although I have had some shoulder pain from weighted dips the last few weeks, so I did a few sets of push ups for those sessions and am getting back into pressing with lighter weights. There is still some discomfort as felt on deadlifts yesterday but i'll leave dips alone for a while and train smart and hard as I always aim too.

Thanks to all those following and imparting your knowledge and wisdom.

Update: 13 Weeks completed.

Daily averages for the last 4 weeks are 191.6lb/4317 calories.

Having gained a little more than a pound in the last month isn’t bad seeing as how I did minimal upper body training, but truth be told I expected a lot more overall. Upper body has no pain from Decline/Overheads, been using 135/95 last couple weeks and feel it’s time to up the weight each session each session linearly. Sleep has consistent 8 hours though I wake up a few times a night to pee (2-3). Eating has been very consistent though I might need more than I was getting. I upped my AI a few weeks ago as I was in the high range with .5mg EOD to 1mg 3x/week.
I was going to go get tested as I’m feeling tired overall as my E2 might be too low or the high volume squats/deads are catching up to me (especially deadlifts), or combo of both. However, I am considering cutting the cycle short 3 weeks, deloading a week, dropping to 150mg for 6 or so weeks for a small break and to progress upper body movements, running bloods and starting it over with more food and 500-600mg Test or 200mg Test/300 Deca. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated!

I was impressed with 250mg for 6 weeks as I regained what I had lost very quickly when I was sick for about a month and then more (was 184lb). However, 13 weeks of 400mg didn’t make many changes (189 to 191.6) though I did have the shoulder injury leaving the upper body mostly out for the cycle.

You really reallllly need to find that sweet spot with the AI. Maybe stick to one dose of test so that way you can dial in the ai dose? Seems like its constantly cropping up as a concern of yours. You lift good numbers for a buck 80.

Thanks man! I was trying to get it just right since anything above normal puts additional strain on the cardiovascular system as well isn't great for the prostate. I was thinking of upping it and see how a slightly higher dose will work. I think I won't pass 500-600 test at any point since I can add other things later on.
