    When was your last bloodwork? Even high rep lower weight results in mass and definition. You might still be shutdown or have an issue.

    Your description of the 10x10 and results says to me you are not healthy. Check your thyroid and hormone profile. Collecting fat easily relates to high Estrogen or low thyroid. Not building muscle relates to high estrogen. You look exhausted in your photos which relates to high estrogen or low thyroid.

    If you have insurance it should cover the tests

    Last BW must have been 1.5 years ago or something like that. I agree that I don't feel my best, so if I look exhausted, then that gotta mean something.
    I got a recommendation for a place to do BW today, will check it out asap.
    Thanks for notice and giving me advice on this.
    It's a shame that so many doctors are so low educated on hormones, most don't even want to hear you mention it in my experience.

    Got a call from the clinic, they want to know what I want to test?
    "Everything" wasn't a suffice answer apparently.

    Any idea what I should check for in BW?

    Cheers man, appreciate it!
    I'm confused since I haven't been on anything for a pretty long time, so most should be leveled by time.
    And according to the doc (then), I was only lower than average on 2 points. But can't remember which ones and the papers are back home in
    a box somewhere.
    That bw was really extensive, same test here will cost me over 600 USD at my place.

    I got Thyroid and Estrogen levels, I've read myself to LH, FSH and Total+ Free test as well.
    Anything I'm missing that might be important in my situation?
