No worries dude. Your log makes me want to jump back on cycle already. I'm waiting til next week for my bloodwork...
I actually will only buy from this board.. I learned that lesson fast lol... but it was a brand the sponsor had discontinued already anyway. So no further action on that line being ejected is needed... all was handled appropriately with the reps though and agreeable satisfaction was met ;0)
Hell yeah on that bloodwork... it’s such an important piece to the puzzle imo.. I run em 5-6 weeks no matter what.. on or off...

Gotcha. Atleast it was taken cared of. I have only bought from sources on here, luckily I haven't been burnt YET... Hopefully never will.
Yeah, my first cycle I had not done bloods. This time around, I am making sure to do everything right. Doing pre-cycle and then mid-cycle.

When I first came here, they pounded bloodwork into my brain.. when I wasn’t being as systematic as I am now, I never knew where the hell I was at.. I had much higher bf at that time too so I was all over the map hormonally.. once I started running them regularly, I’m dialed in and can even feel when I’m off and know what to go run a test on, in order to dial myself back in... so I don’t even mess around.. I have plenty to reference now as well.. who’s gear did what, how I felt etc... it’s not cheap... I pay over 2500 a year in bloodwork... worth every bloody cent ;0) see what I did there? Wakka wakka wakka
Sponsors rely on our feedback as much as we rely on each other’s feedback... obviously every bottle can’t be tested and some batches just aren’t as good as others... there’s sponsors here, like SL, that have the process down to perfection though and consistently produce high quality and potent gear... but even he relies on our feedback to ensure everything is doing its job...
I’m not knocking anyone else, I’ve had some super bomb ass gear from others on this board. Bloodwork pulled to further back that up too... I just have almost a year and half worth of bloodwork on SL gear to provide him with proof he’s still on point with his recipes... so that’s why he’s who gets my annual TRT order for life. On his gear my total test tests are higher than my prescription was... more consistent as well. Which was vital in order to dial in the trt dosage and be able to stick to it..

I feel like that's where I'm at now. The good thing is we have access to so much knowledge on this forum, and so many vets that are willing to help so I am very thankful for that. I only have one cycle under my belt so far, but I think I got an idea now. It wasn't the most effective cycle for sure, but I think using what I know now, this next cycle should be a lot better.
Bloodwork is definitely important and I know see the need for it. At the very least, it ensures that what you're putting in your body is actually what it claims to be. There were times I did second guess the potency, but since I did no bloodwork, I have no way to prove it. That's my fault and so I don't blame anyone.
I don't plan to be on TRT any time soon, but I will probably need to find a sponsor that works for me as well. Hopefully I can get one that will stay on the board indefinitely. Having vendors bounce back and forth is a bit annoying.

Hopefully I'll figure it out without wasting too much time. Looking forward to starting this in 2 weeks.
When does your blast end?

December 21st will be last pin for the cycle and then I’ll hop onto trt and let everything clear out to get ready for the next one..
Which was a little longer than originally planned... but I switched gears mid-stride a few weeks in and that kind of threw me off...
I just pulled bloods though and everything’s looking good so I decided to run a little longer...
