NOT SURE IF THE REST IS NECESSARY

CURRENT:
All Natural now- been off 12 wks. Now im about to get blood work to see where im at. Libido is good, energy is good, mood is good. dropped from 205 to 196 (mainly because eating less training less) . Taken a little break from it all as i have a career which keeps me pretty busy.

Would love suggestions for next cycle, doses, diet, whatever. Considering just jumping back on test e and eq with an oral. go back on the carb-cycling as the results were good. Need to get quite a bit of size, maybe 220lbs as i will need to cut down to my new weight cap 188 lbs.
