Blood Work Post PCT and Cycle Summary

[TylerWayne]

Hey guys, thought I'd make a thread with my experiences and blood results after my first cycle. There can never be enough of these in my opinion, each one is like a little case study.

Age: 25
Ht: 5'11
Wt: before 185lbs; after 205lbs; after PCT 198
BF: before 12% max; after 14% but abs still visible

Cycle:
Wk 1-10 Test E 500mg/week (2 250mg pins/week)
Wk 3-12 HCG 250iu on same day as Test pin
Wk 12-16 Clomid, Nolva, Creatine

Blood Results 6wks after PCT:
Test Serum: 866 Range:348-1197
LH: 8.3 Range: 1.7-8.6
FSH: 5.5 Range: 1.5-12.4
Estradiol: 28.2 Range: 7.6-42.6

Overall I was stoked with the results. Strength went up like crazy. Every lift went up at least 20lbs, some actually around 40lbs+. Weight went up a ton too. I train mainly crossfit (don't hate) and Olympic lifts, but still like to add some BBing movements in for a well rounded physique. Cut out almost all crossfit metcons for this cycle and followed an undulated power type program. Hit everything twice a week once heavy weight low rep one a bit lighter a little higher rep.
When I came off I probably ate too much trying to keep the scale at the same number, which I did for awhile but gained a bit of fat in this period. Just hit a mini three week cut 4 weeks after PCT though and body is back to normal.
As you can see the blood is good. Overall I'm really happy

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm? Something look weird or need clarification?

Nice bloodwork. You bounced back nicely even with a nolva/clom pct so thats cool. I wouldn't expect you to recover quite this well in future cycles but obviously age or genetics is on your side for this one. There are better pct options out there these days IMO, but it worked fine for you so congrats on that!

I'm a big fan of Clomid in PCT, since its very effective in stimulating LH and raising test levels, but I also like to incorporate a more extensive approach to PCT with other boosters like test stack 17 or PHYTOSERMS and unleashed with formastanozol. In my opinion that is the bet way to ensure a solid recovery.

It seems you bounced back very well, but most do after their first cycle and can get away with it. The more you cycle and the older you get, the harder it is to recover from cycles without the proper things to help recovery. I would recommend a more extensive PCT in the future. But, with that said, for now you have some very impressive numbers my friend!

Looks like you recovered pretty well. Are those the only things you got tested? There's a lot of other important blood tests that should be done. Congrats on your successful cycle.

Thanks bro..I'll keep that in mind. I was pumped my numbers were so good, but as you said I don't expect it to be that easy in the future. I agree I think my age played a big part. Also I think just keeping it to test and not adding in a ton of harsh compounds etc helped.
Thanks for the input, I'll look into adding your suggestions to my nect PCT!!

Thanks man. Yeah I had a complete blood test done. Everything was perfect which was cool. Just thought I'd spare everyone the reading, seems like most just look for the T, E, FSH and LH so that's all I included here
