    When after your injection did you draw blood ?

    You might see an increase in performance simply by switching to injecting 3 x 50mg per week or 4 x 40mg per week and dropping adex all together rather than bumping up Test.

    I decided not to switch anything but I do want to run more test
    The blood work was pulled a few hours after pin! (didn't want to wait and waste time so just pinned and went to get the blood work pulled a few hours later)

    The "problem" (for lack of a better word) with your current protocol is you hav an AI implemented with a low dose of Test - so being able to cut the AI and not have estrogen surpressed is way more beneficial. Someone on 150 Test + No AI could arguably see more results than 200 Test + AI.

    In the future it would be in your best interest to have a specific day and time of the week for bloodwork. This allows you to compare apples to apples if / when your health changes, side effects pop up down the line, etc. If the bloodwork is just pulled randomly, it doesn't have any health value when looking for a trend or to look for adjustments.

    I feel like i need the AI, when I don't use it my e2 is over 50 and into the highish range
    What would the benefit be to not use an aI at all and not suppress test/estrogen conversion?

    Beat me to it ^_^

    Estrogen is an anabolic hormone.

    More frequent injections is more stable blood levels and AI are pretty heavy on the body. So if you are able to get more results from more frequent injections and remove the AI you kill 3 birds with 1 stone.

    If you haven't tried more frequent injections you could try it out and worst case scenario just go back to previous protocol.
