Blood work after 26 week cycle.....let me know what you guys think

[Wants2bBig]

I'm 33 years old 5'9" 185lbs @10%bf. I did a 26 week cycle which consisted of Tren and test cyp for 13 weeks then masteron and test prop for the remaining weeks. My doctor said my total test was 364, binding hormone is 46, free calculation is 55 and free percent is 1.5. Do my test levels seem ok? I'm currently on my pct (hcg, clomid and nolvadex) for about a month now. I would like to do another cycle as soon as I can.

There's no point getting bloodwork until about 6 weeks after the end of pct.

No offence mate but 185lbs after a 26 week cycle looks awful. What were your starting stats?

[Wants2bBig]

I started off at 179 and when I was on cycle I got up to 193. I started cutting and now I'm down to 185.

[Wants2bBig]

I'm a very hard gainer. These are pretty close to current pics.

Pre cycle bodyfat%?

[Wants2bBig]

Honesty probably close to the same. I don't respond that we'll to gear like most people. I've had friends using the same gear and they blow up off it.

So you gained 6lbs on a 26 week cycle? And you are cutting in pct?

[Wants2bBig]

My diet is clean..... Protein 235, carbs 410, fats 78. I'm taking in around 3300 cals

[Wants2bBig]

I put on about 14lbs from my cycle. I lost weight since I've been off because I went calorie deficit

That wasn't my questions.

[Wants2bBig]

I stopped cutting because I felt like I was getting weaker and not any leaner lol so I'm back to eating more.

[Back In Black]

You should never cut during pct, that's why you felt that way. In fact, you should eat in a calorie surplus to try and retain gains.

Before you start considering another cycle I'd suggest you get this dieting thing sorted. A 6lb gain on a 6 month cycle is less than you should have gained off cycle. Maybe your gear was bunk although your blood numbers suggest that you are shut down.

Remember, time on plus pct should equal time off

Good luck

Thx bud! The gear wasn't bunk because numerous friends of mine had good gains on it. My body is just retarded lol. I know I'm suppose to stay off for the amount of weeks I was on. Since my system is already shut down could I get back on in a few weeks and do a 10 week cycle then do a power pct to recover? I want to get back on so I can do a competition. Thx for your help

You should already be running a power pct after that cycle.

You can, of course, do what you want. But you won't be recovered fully even at the end of this pct so, essentially, you are looking to be shut down for a year? Even now there's no guarantee of a full recovery and your risk of non recovery is increased the longer you are shut down.

I see. I know I should have done a power pct, I was dumb and took advice from a friend and he recommended me doing 250iu eod of hcg, 25mg of Nolvadex for 30 days and 100mg of clomid for two weeks then 50mg for two weeks. I'm at that point now where I'm wondering if I'm better off just staying on gear permanently (250mg a week on cyp). What would you advice at this point?

[Back In Black]

Do you fancy being on exogenous test for the rest of your life? Pinning twice a week for the next 60-70 years? Have insurance to cover it? For the sake of doing one comp?

Extend your nolva by 2 weeks. HCG shouldn't be run during pct you should have ran it during your cycle.

[Wants2bBig]

So what would you recommend at this point? I'm a few days shy of finishing my 30 day pct. Should I start over and do my pct again but this time a power pct?

[Back In Black]

Stop running your HCG and extend your nolva by 2 weeks. 6 weeks after that get some new bloods done.

[Wants2bBig]

OK I'll try that. So I shouldn't finish my hcg, I should just get off it now? would I keep taking clomid and finish my last few days of it and stay on 2 more weeks on Nolvadex at 25mg?

[Wants2bBig]

I appreciate all your help!

Stop your HCG now, it's counterproductive in pct. Complete your 4 weeks of clomid and stay on nolva those 2 weeks yes.

I appreciate all your help!

NP, good luck

[Wants2bBig]

Thx bud!! It's hard to find good advice these days.
