Last night I noticed a lump under each nipple with some pain whith pressure, upped AI dosage to 20mg ED and have Letro on its way right now. Going to dose letro at 2.5mgED for 3 weeks, but do I stay on the sin while dosing letro or stop sin and do letro then restart sin on last day of letro?

Pinning today went pretty good. I must have gone through a vein into the muscle because I aspirated the syringe and no blood drew into it, injected all the test, pulled out the needle and very dark blood came out and dripped, all good though. Feeling FANTASTIC in the gym lately, able to hit a lot more weight now on most lifts.

UPDATE on the Gyno: From various members advice I bumped up the sin dosage to 20mg ED +added in 20mg of Nolva ED as well (letro is on the way in case this doesnt work). So far I'm on day 3 of this gyno treatment and my nips are much less painful today and the lumps seem to be going down in size (definitely the left). Going to keep this going for a bit until its gone, if the gyno doesnt go away im going to remove the nolva and add .5mg letro for a bit. I ordered labs to check E levels and I go in tomorrow morning. Was supposed to do it today but I accidentally ate food this morning (supposed to fast for 12 hrs). Should get the results this weekend.

Today I decided to push the weight and get a max on squat. Guys.. the strength today was absolutely in-fucking-sane. I have NEVER squatted that much (below parallel), and everything today was all new personal records.

10x225

Weigh in: 215.5

Pinned left delt; delts are definitely my favorite spot to pin right now.

Update on Gyno: Got letro in the mail, after adding in Nolva lumps and pain were still there, added in letro at 2.5mg/day. Left lump is going down, nips look more like "nips", lots of join achyness probably from the Letro. Still waiting on blood work results.
