What kind of readings were you getting on your blood pressure while using dbol?
Sorry, some how double posted.
It’s in the 155-165/65 range right now. Steadily climbed each week. Heart rate 55-62.
I’m very conservative with AI use, I won’t be upping the dose anymore than .25mg with every pin unless it’s absolutet obvious it’s high E2. I feel good now, and I’m confident with my doses. I will get bloods week 5/6

Whats your cycle like? And how are you going with the AI?
Pin 7 later today. I’ve had a great sense of well being lately… great sex drive, my weight increased but I’m leaner… it’s only been 3 weeks, about to be 3.5 once I pin today, is it to early to realistically notice muscle gain? Regardless… I am very happy so far
Pin 7 was my most painful pin so far, with the most blood so far, so kind of a shock, but minimal PIP and all is well
Pin 10 week 5 today, i honestly felt more around week 3 than I do now… so I hope gear isn’t bunk. Doubt it is though, I just really want to feel it really kick in. I want that crazy libido most people get, mine is by no means bad but I want that big boost. Haven’t felt much in terms of gym performance yet… I should hopefully feel that soon. I will update with anything notable
Everyone reacts differently to test (and any other drug for that matter). Just because you aren’t experiencing crazy libido doesnt mean the gear isnt working. I did experience an increase in libido but nothing special and I’ve still made great gains all round.
If it’s anything it may be your e2 is slightly elevated, for me libido is the first to go when e2 is on the up. Definitly not worth worrying about though if you still have a decent libido and have no other signs of high e2.
You should have noticed an increase in strength by now though, but it does depend on your training and diet. Size will be in the next couple weeks if you have everything dialed in.
I’m only taking .25 mg adex with each pin so I could have high E2, but like you said I have no other symptoms, so I don’t think it’s worth playing with my E2 just to potentially get better libido when I could just as easily potentially crash my E2… and have zero libido

That’s exactly right, just play it out as it is and see where you are in a few weeks.

Yesterday’s pin marked week 6, I feel good in the gym but nothing insane. When I’m with my girlfriend I have no issues getting turned on and my erections are good but it’s hard to tell if its any different than when I was off cycle. I’m still on the same .25 arimidex the morning after every pin… I really hope I will get everything kicking in soon, I want that crazy libido
If it hasn’t happened now I highly doubt it will. Most guys get the shift in libido in the first few weeks. As long as your making gains and getting stronger it’s nothing to be concerned about though man.
It just seems so weird that I haven’t experienced it, it’s one of the most talked ab effects of test, it makes me feel like something’s wrong with my E2, however everything else feels fine. And like I said my libido is still good so I shouldn’t be overthinking it too much.
Dont overthink it man, it may be due to slightly elevated e2 but again if your making gains and you still have a libido it’s not worth worrying about. You didnt start AAS for the insane libido haha
My highest test and E2 levels should be at around week 8 right? And steady from there? If I were to add some more adex, do you think switching to .25mg 3x a week would make sense instead of 2x a week as I am doing now?
Yes as long as you havent changed your test dose it should he steady at 8 weeks.
Honestly I wouldnt change anything unless you get a blood test done and even then it probably isnt worth it just for a bit of an increase in libido.
If you were having crappy high e2 sides then by all means increase it, but your not so its unnecessary.
I’d like to add, I’m somewhat predisposed to acne but haven’t experienced any unusual acne on cycle, so that seems weird
I only ever get acne when my e2 shoots up. So definitely nothing to worry about.
Dont up anything right now. Week 8 is a great bench mark. You can even go week 6 and get a pretty accurate reading of where you will be staying blood level wise.
And ya stop over thinking it thats great advice @deanis55 its actually my go to line. The less you stress yourself out the better your cycle is gonna go i promise you.
As far as the libido thing goes by week 2 i cant stop beating my dick. Consider yourself lucky. It starts to become annoying around the 5th time in the same day
@zeek1414 I found myself overthinking things early on, which screwed with my anxiety. You know the drill, attributing every little thing you feel to your cycle and freaking out. It’s just a waste of time and ruins your cycle. Best to just go with the flow and enjoy yourself.
