looking forward to your bloods.
if you can recover from a year on then this opens up a whole nother ballgame for a lot of people and gives them hope. i deal with a lot of guys who have been on a year or two who struggle to recover, not because their PCT failed but because they just don't have the patience like you said to check their ego at the door and accept that they aren't gonna be able to bench 4 plates anymore off the juice, or stand in front of the mirror and have a fuller bicep when they do curls to show off to the hottie next to them.

Bloods drawn this morning. Made a follow up apt for next Friday. Hopefully all of it will be back by then.
Made sure to get FSH and LH in there this time too. They have to be working well.....my wife is like dude...omfg with you.
I have really backed off the weight. my fucking knees are a train wreck right now. Both patella tendons are killing me 24/7 for some reason. No legs in forever.
Elbows are giving me a lot of grief too. SO I am doing what I call a complete reset. Starting last week i'm only doing two exercises per body part but I am doing 5x20 on everything. My Flat bench last week was 135 for 5x20. I didn't even get 5x20. I got 20, 20, 20, 16, 10. Sad. But 5x20 is a different animal. Then I switch to incline smith and do the same. No increasing in weight until I hit the full 5x20 without fail. Then the following week I raise 10 lb. Re acclimates the shoulders, joints, connective tissue ect... Last chest day I got a full 5x20. Not on incline though. Its a real bitch. I am so fucking sore its not funny and its been two days.
I am taking nothing. No supps, not even any vitamins. Just 25mcg T3 2x a day 3 on 1 off. The T3 isn't for cutting. My T3 was actually in the toilet last bloods so this is an experiment to see what this blood work looks like.

Hey brother. Thanks for dropping in here
With all the little nagging injuries and blood work things I just decided it was time to take a break. After 13 months of constant suppression there was no way I was getting off easy here recovery wise. Being that I went all natty PCT wise I am super fucking impressed at what has happened. I really only spent about 2 weeks total of the very first stage of pct feeling like shit and being miserable. Its been great after that. Cant wait for my bloods this Friday.
Do I plan on it? Yes. When? Not sure. Definitely not before next March or April. We will see how the blood work goes. My platelet count was low last two times but it only caught my attention this past time. I need to see WTF is up with that first and foremost. I was taking 2 800mg motrin a day almost and also using at least two full doses of voltaren a day for a while prior to last bloods. Those are proven platelet killers(yes I know they aren't good for you) . With my RBC, hemocrit and hemoglobin up near the top 3/4 of the range and ferritin looking good last time I suspect it was the meds. I asked for an ass load of blood work this time. 7 tubes she took out of me!
I also need to stay light for a while and give my body and connective tissue a break. Not that I beat on my connective tissue. but even with moderate weights if your intensity is super high it still takes a toll. Add to that, that I need and have needed for years ACL reconstruction and a meniscus repair I am debating on doing that this winter as well.
