As for an update for the DAA, I am taking 3g in the morning (after a protein shake).
So far, I have had alot of flatulance and gas however im not 100% certain I can relate this to the DAA use.
- Libido = Through the roof, I must say its crazy!
- Acne = None
- Lethargy = I am getting severe lethargy around midday, however this started BEFORE DAA supplementation. I thought it may be related to low T, but my bloods show no low T so I have no idea why this is.
- Muscle profile = I am growing like a weed, however this is due to synergistic effect of hormonal homeostasis and getting my diet in check (first time ever). Muscles are extremely vascular, veins are thick. Pumps are Dbol-esque, and quite painful (bicep especially).
Current weight = ~190lbs, 8-9% BF[/quote]
Lethargy and flatulence could be a sign of liver toxicity. SERMS unfortunately are liver toxic although not as bad as methylated gear. They also take ages to get out of your system.
Ive been thinking about your cycle and there must be a reason you’re suffering so badly with recovery. It could be just your body makeup, or it could be to do with your cycle. Test can be really suppressive if your estrogen levels get out of whack. I know you took arimidex, but I generally find that the doses commonly used are really not enough to get estrogen under control, especially with high amounts of aromatising gear. And having wild estrogen levels doesnt necessarily give you gyno or obvious side effects in everyone, there are plenty of people who have used high doses of aromatising gear for years with no AI.
Next time I would use letrozole and up the dose till you are dry as a bone then back off from there to get it right, or since your probably going to do two weekers you might be fine with being dry, although it can affect your mood and also your libido thats not a huge problem if you’re on for two weeks.
You know youve done something right though to have higher libido after a cycle than before lol[/quote]
Very very interesting points made. First off I would like to thank you for taking the time to analyse my situation, much appreciated.
Ok in regards to the aromatising gear, I feel I am an over-responder to adex. Previously I took 0.5mg EOD, but I could not stand the joint pain, it was excruciating. My shoulders were literally grinding, so I cut the dose down to .25mg EOD and the pain dissipated. However I must mention I did not feel ‘juiced’ so to speak. I didnt feel the Alpha Male, I did feel excellent no doubt about that but just not as good as previous cycles.
So I think your point may have a good base. I will definetly try the letro, I have pharm-grade access to AI’s anyway so im good to go.
In regards to liver toxicity, yes I have been going hard on the SERM’s but I ceased SERM usage around 3 weeks ago. So yeah I think it could be due to the SERM use. Any advice to rectify this?
