I donate blood every 3 months. Vital support is also good as it has ip6 in it which can help.

Thanks Ryan! I got allowed as a blood donor this week, my first donation is possible in 2 weeks. Every visit for blooddonation they will measure my bloodpressure and HB, which is also very useful data next to my regular bloodwork. I will add IP6 too.

so first all sounds very sensible –

However your test reading is currently very high as is E2 – what are you currently taking?

Primo will work well at reducing E2 so that is a good move – the masteron will also help reduce any issues from higher E2,

However if you are trying to grow you want E2 on the higher side unless you experience high E2 sides – such as gyno, water retention, acne, reduced libido etc.

Are you getting any of these sides?

What is the goal of the cycle? Growing?

Thanks for you reply Peter, appreciate that! When doing this bloodwork last week, I was on the 10th week of cruising on 250mg test e only. I guess it’s gonna be a trial and error to get the test and E2 in the right place with the right test : DHT ratio for me. At the moment I only experience acne, But I’m already experiencing that for like 1-2 years. It seems that I’m sensible for that, but fortunately it’s not that bad so it’s acceptable. Goal of cycle is to grow a shit ton of mass.

Goal is to have a productive pushphase as long as possible on a low bodyfat, aiming for 100kg in an ¨okayish¨ conditioning.

Allright. My estradiol is on the high side, hoping to take that down adding in both the primo and masteron.
