1st Cycle Blood Work question

[Swtsamtron]

So my cycle is:

Test E : 500mg for 10 weeks (epharma brand)
Test Cyp : 500 for 4 weeks (bio optima)
Arim 0.5mg EoD (Started week 8)

Then PCT.

I got blood work done before my first shot which showed test levels at 30.

I'm on week 10.5 right now and had blood work done at the week 10 mark and my test level is at 22.7.

I've gained good size and I'm not sure why its that low though. I also do have some water weight retention.

Do I need to take PCT? I have 3 weeks left but my levels of test are normal range, as normal is between 7-31.

I know the brands of test are different but mind you i've been taking epharma since the start and that has a good reputation. I've gained good size in 10 weeks and I'm not sure why my blood work shows normal test levels?

Blood tests don't lie. Unless there was a mistake, your test is bunk.

How many pounds have you gained??

[Swtsamtron]

I've gained about 18 pounds in 10 weeks.

[Bodacious]

BW isn't going to lie. If I was guessing fake test. Which is probably a good thing because you need to run your adex from the start.

[SOL!D5NAK3]

your test levels before cycle is higher than on cycle!

[Chicagotarsier]

Something does not add up. I will say 18 pounds in 10 weeks on bunk test and we would all have what he is having.

Same units used on each lab test for the testosterone?

[Swtsamtron]

Day before first shot: 30.3 nmol/L
9.5 weeks in: 23.7nmol/L

Test levels

Did you get your free test or only total? Do you have complete bloods?

I want what you have,
Higher test before cycle, that's amazing!

Placebo effect. I believe it to be bunk gear.

[Saluki]

Gear doesn't cause you to gain weight. Food does. But then, if the gear is bunk, then most of the calories should have turned to fat, not muscle.
