So aside from my version of trt/cruise which is 200mg/wk test-e along with 125mg/wk nandrolone, I recently decided to include 100mg/wk of mast-e... And mentally speaking the effects are fantastic, I haven't felt this solidified and unbothered in ages it's great, the only drawback I'm noticing is even though we know mast doesn't block estrogen in the traditional sense of an anti-estrogen, it does bind with estrogen receptors to block effects of estrogen so my left shoulder is really taking a horrific hit and though strength is increasing and I'm taking things slow I realize I won't be able to train the same way I'm usually accustomed to... Physique wise and strength wise things are great, but I love it moreso for the mental benefits the most!

So my options are, halve the dosage down to 50mg/wk of mast-e and see if that doesn't abate things, or if I really wanted to keep the mast at the 100mg/wk mark I'd have to up the test to bring back in a bit more estrogen into circulation... But that might also negate the present benefits as well... Really hard to decipher because it's all based on one's own personal symptomology and not everyone's body responds the same way to things. I've always aired on the side of the most positive benefits with the least amount of mg possible and really have discovered I can squeeze way more out of less whereas people can be taking significantly higher doses and for me that doesn't add anything more that makes it worth it (usually just more sides in that case).

Just wanted to put this out there and garner from others thoughts on this. My own thoughts are that yes indeed mast is drying and therefore even though not directly eliminating estrogen by blocking some conversion and also binding with various receptor sites that's why I'm experiencing this new issue with my shoulder that didn't exist to such a great degree until now. Really sucks on the sense that I'm loving this mentally but physically I know I'm going to have to either lessen the dose or drop it altogether because upping the test would only be a short term possible bandaid and not something I could roll with for longer term.
