Beginning my first cycle a month out. I’m set with most of my protocol and PCT. Before you ask, I’m 36 and a life long weight lifter. I just had my labs done by my doctor and everything is basically normal. They did not test E2. I will have E2 tested before cycle.
This brings me to my question. If I am to base my AI (Arimidex in my case) dosage protocol on my labs, then when do I take the labs while on cycle? I understand more would be better but on a basic cycle I’m thinking twice. Are guys testing more than twice per 12 week cycle? I’m thinking weeks 3 and 7. This would give me a little time to make adjustments to AI.
I’ll also test during PCT.
Let’s assume I’m not a dumbass and skip the trolls. You don’t need to know every detail to answer the question.
What are you running for your cycle? Basic Test only cycle? Likely won’t need any AI.
Most folks here will recommend you not base your AI usage on numbers from your labs… but rather how you feel. Some guys on cycle feel great with an E2 over 50, some guys let it go over 100 and still feel fine. Go by how you feel, not necessarily a number.
If you have some high E2 effects, then get labs, see where it’s at, add Adex .25mg 2x a week at most, and see how you feel. Be careful, it’s easy to take too much AI and crash your estrogen. Makes your cycle much less enjoyable.
You only get one shot at baseline labs. What did they actually test and what did they forget? Did you get TT, FT, FSH, LH, SHBG in addition to the missing E2?
Why do people post pics of their visible face and identifying features when talking about potentially committing a felony… this is seriously no better than all the kids posting pics of their drugs on instagram
You’d think an adult would perhaps show more reasoning
Edit: this still pertains whether AAS are legal or not. You wouldn’t want to post pics of you on social media binge drinking, smoking tobacco etc. it’d be like me in Amsterdam putting up a pic on my Instagram of me with a fat joint. Regardless of where it is/legality it’ll attract preconceived societal misconceptions that are unfortunately engrained socioculturally. Insurance/employment offices will do anything they can to make things more difficult for you… so they might see this post, link it back to you “I’m sorry mr florpyeetle, you appear to have touched an illicit substance on record/done something we consider ethically inept and thus you aren’t a suitable candidate for the job”
True story, one of my close friends is enlisting in the army, in the questionnaire he admitted to using cannabis within the past six months… he almost didn’t get let in, the interviewers treated him like a heroin addict. If you’re going to do these things the general rule is “leave no evidence”…
You’re very abrupt and abrasive reply hints at a lack of maturity. Preemptively Judging from our extremely limited interaction, you are the last kind of person I’d recommend a cycle to. You seem like the type who would develop a swelled head and start a fight with someone
Regardless, we can agree to disagree and part ways, if you don’t think it matters, then so be it… i’m Not trolling, i’m merely giving you a pointer that admitting to crimes whilst showcasing photographic evidence as you being the culprit is about the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot
You can officially go castrate yourself. In fact take your balls in one hand, however small they may be, insert in a vice and twist. Do us all a favor.
I’m dying a little bit inside thinking about the poor bastard who has that used on him. You couldn’t pay me millions of dollars to have that used on me
These devices pose a legitimate safety risk for those who use them, which makes me wonder how they were approved for manufacture and sale
See what I’m doing with the sex toy commentary… THIS is trolling
Also blshaw isn’t trolling you, it was mere irritance stemming from you’re initial reply. I apologise if I initially irritated you and/or hurt you’re feelings though, that wasn’t the intended outcome
I was trying to point out how posting a pic of ones face, esp if you reside within a country where AAS is illegal, could lead to detrimental outcome
What? His reply was within direct correlation to your reply. Just as how I’m a passive individual, but if someone throws a punch at me I’ll certainly throw one back
His reasoning was that you’d turned hostile, so he was going to turn hostile… there’s nothing particularly immature about that
Yes I have, and just because some take a large risk and promote their channel by admitting to AAS doesnt mean it’s smart
These people dedicate every waking moment of their lives to bodybuilding, YouTube and fitness are their jobs… if you don’t fit within this category (or even if you do but you don’t have a following)… the risk is immense
I’m just trying to deter you from potentially having to deal with repercussions in relation to job opportunities later on in life… you’d be surprised how thorough some background checks by numerous corporations run
Just chill out man, there’s nothing to get particularly angry about here
