Wow! I am clueless when it comes to the weight lifting/body building world. I had no idea. Those levels certainly can't be good long term.
No. Probably estradiol issue. If you could manage your estradiol you would have higher libido.OK, let me update this thread. I finished the blast. I did 600MG's a week for 12 weeks. For the last two weeks, went to 800MG's just to finish the bottle. For the first 4 weeks, I continued my Androgel at 4 pumps as a kick start. I continued the 150iu's of HCG a day and added 12.5 of exemenstane a day from E2 control.
After the 12 weeks, I waited a week and started back on 4 pumps of Androgel and I continued the exemenstane for 2 more weeks. Now that it's over, I'm back on 4 pumps of Androgel and no AI. I changed from 150iu's of HCG a day to 350IU's every other day after reading Dr. Saya's thread.
My first week, my lifts were as follows:
Bench - 175
Deadlift - 325
standing overhead press - 125
back squat - 225
I was lazy and didn't work out for the next 3 weeks. I honestly just sat around the house watching TV and eating junk food.
My 5th week
Bench press - 215
Deadlift - 355
Standing overhead press - 140
Back Squat - 245
My 6th week
Bench press - 220
Deadlift - 405lbs
Standing overhead press - 150
Back Squat - 285
I got lazy again and sat around for weeks 7, 8 and 9. Still eating junk food and watching TV
Week 10
Bench press - 230
Deadlift - 405lbs
Standing overhead press - 160
Back Squat - 295
Week 11
Bench press - 235
Deadlift - 405lbs
Standing overhead press - 165
Back Squat - 305
Week 12
Bench press - 240
Deadlift - 405
Standing overhead press - 167.5
Back Squat - 315
Week 13 (cycle was over last week)
Bench press - 255
Deadlift - 425
I didn't do my press or squat because I got lazy again and sat around eating junk food and watching TV
All of these lift are 5 sets and 5 reps. I also can do 20 pull ups (I could only do 8 before). I can do 40 push ups without a break (I used to struggle at 15). I can do 20 dips without a break too (I was only able to do 8).
My chest and shoulders are wider now. My arms are bigger. Everybody notices it. My stomach isn't flat but that's because I need to cut back on the sweets and improve my diet.
I could only imagine how much better this would have been if I worked out the whole 12 weeks instead of sitting around for 6 of them. I checked my blood pressure daily and it stayed the same (115-125 and 70-85). I'm going to wait about a month and a half before I get blood work done but I feel fine. I didn't really feel any different on 600mg's than I did on 4 pumps of Androgel. I had a higher sex drive and libido on 4 pumps than I did on 600mg's. I would guess that's from the DHT with the Androgel.
