Taking a week off??

[Zinergy]

Easy on the cardio for now, and test by itself will destroy lipid profiles. Creatine kinase will be high just because you're training which is normal. I wouldn't do anything just stop eating shit foods to help your cholesterol.

Once the serms and hcg clear fully you will crash for a little until your body picks up again.

Total protein (serum) ain't related to apolipoprotein balance, it's a measure of total protein in the blood, which is mainly albumin and immunoglobulins. Low counts can reflect liver disease as albumin is produced in the liver. Ratio of albumin:immunoglobulins can reflect infection.

Your numbers are fine for so close to PCT, although you need to be a little careful about the lipid profile. For a cycle without c17-alkylated orals they are somewhat affected. Might be the contribution from the AI.
All will be fine, just take care.
Some cardio seems great, just don't overdo it.
(High cardio can lead to suppression of mTOR activation, preventing muscle growth. This is more relevant to the topic: can you be both very big and strong and still be a marathon runner?)

Ahh ok, im sorry you'll have to bare with me, im starting to realise I havn't done enough reasearch on AAS as I thought.....
my Albumin levels were 44 g/L ref range is 34-48
Bilirubin levels were 7 umol/L ref range is 0-22
I'll stick to to a bit of light cardio for now then thanks.

I forgot to mention I ran clen for the first two weeks of my pct. Tapered up from 40mcg pd to 120mcg and back down to 40mcg again. Will this be a factor for the lipids do you think?

I've searched the literature on whether Clen would effect lipids, since beta antagonists certainly do. My findings this far are either no it doesn't, or it might (by beta 3 activation) be slightly beneficial.
However, so far I think no, it doesn't in normal circumstances.

Your bilirubin is very OK, no jaundice for you.

Thank you very much for sharing your blood work (with a timeline), it's to the benefit of us all.

I would keep cardio to under 15 min and would not take a week off so close to pct !!! I would drop a training day or two but don't stop and take a week off u need to keep those fibers stimulated

As far as a dose 20 mg a day is good if u get bloods done and it helped a tad u can up it to 40

I start at 40 if my lipids are outta wack bad and drop it down after a bit to 20

Probably the anastrozole then if not the clen. I have been eating 4 whole eggs a day so im going to lay off them for a bit until things drop back down to where they should be.

Not a problem, happy to be able to contruibte to the forum, even if it is in a barage of questions from me ha!

Ok ill hold of on the week off then, I do feel better than I was when I first posted this thread so i dont feel like im in any rush to take time off.

Shopping tomoroow, I have a cool little herablist shop in my town so im sure they'll stock it in there.

Lipids, well that should've been better. Should do a apolipoprotein check as well. Supplements to help with the cholesterol imbalance include Milk Thistle(silymarin) & taurine. Would be prudent to use some 75mg aspirin ED to help with the apolipoproteins as well as reduce plaque formation. (Atherosclerosis)

Picked up some milk thistle and aspirin today, the aspirin are 300mg so should i just take 150mg eod or is it fine ed?

If you lift, DON'T take aspirin.

anti-inflammatory drugs have no place for athletes.

And save your money on milk thistle, its useless, the only thing that helps your liver is time off from strain.

Ahh well it's already been bought now so I may as well use it, supposed to help digestion as well.
I read a study on aspirin where they took it for 8 days and their cortisol levels had dropped and their test had boosted. Anything more than 8 days and the effects were reversed and it blocked protein synthesis

I strongly disagree.
Aspirin in small doses (75mg ED) will not inhibit COX enzymes in the muscles to any degree, but being an irreversible inhibitor of thromboxan A2 it will have an impact on coagulation. It could also help with apolipoprotein balance.

Milk Thistle won't replace rest between cycles but it's the liver protectant aside from NAC & SAMe I have seen the most studies that show it affects lipid profile favorably, as well as being a liver protectant.
