Thanks again for all the additional comments! She went Bikini as there wasn’t anyone in trained at the PCA First Timers St Albans. She won it and won the overall and got an invite to the Universe. She is competing again in the PCA South this weekend and we are comtemplating keeping the momentum going and hitting the Universe 3 weeks after too.

I have just emailed hello@tb-jp.com with some more detail, if someone is able to review that? thanks!

Heya . Where are you unable to post ?
I tried in Diet and Training asking about my peak week plan. I’m trying to figure out if there is some sort of trigger word in there or something but i can’t see anything obvious.

Brilliant, thanks for all the help everyone! Definitely sounds like trained bikini, with a pure legs focus next off season to balance out.
-
It would be great to get a few more opinions on this if anyone has a moment 🙂 thanks!

Thanks @allisontestuhotmail-fr
PCA makes you choose only 1 category, bikini or trained. She is doing 2 shows though 2 weeks apart. So could do different classes for each show.
Yes it was very interesting, we did a full body 3x a weeks split where she always started with lower body. But her upper body just grew so fast! This build phase she will do maintenance volume for upper and more volume for lower 3x per week.

Considering the reference range is typically 10-40 (or 50) pg/mL. You are 3x over the reference range (assuming you are male).
Are you sure its pg/mL? UK often uses pmol/L in which case the range is more like 40-160 pmol/L. In which case you are in range.

Thank you everyone. I ended up getting another pair from Iron Eagle that literally arrived the next day. Total contrast to my order with Iron Monkey!
The Iron Monkey trunks finally showed up yesterday. No response to my emails or IG or calls. I’m in 2 minds whether to return them or keep a spare pair just incase.

@Clare @AMS-Muscle @BigNath @Hilly Thanks for the replies. I’ve removed it now and feel a bit relieved almost hah. It was making estrogen management (and subsequently BP management) so hard and I could barely run any test dose at all. Plus its just an extra thing to pay for and jab. I’ll be interested to see how much higher I can run test now in a build phase too. If/when I need to be fertile I’ll just do a dedicated fertility protocol then. Everyones help is much appreciated. Thanks

I would defo not have it in while prepping bud
Ok thanks I’ll pull it. Maybe I’ll just use it twice a year when back at TRT levels between phases.
-
Definitely feels like estrogen in a bottle for me hah! Cycles would be a lot cheaper without it and being able to run higher test!
-
I was prescribed it when first put on TRT and this is the first year and prep going above that so I’ve just kept it in. Was thinking of dropping it a few weeks out. Could just pull it now. It was originally in for maintaining some testicular function and possibly fertility but I guess there’s question marks around that vs just doing a specific fertility protocol

Thanks, I was wondering if to increase to 37.5/150, or if to just increase T4. I have seen it before with no thyroid meds on my bloods and 4IU gh, that my conversion rate of T3 to T4 increases. So in this scenario if I’ve essentially just run out of T4 to convert to T3, then just extra T4 could raise both?
Of T4 to T3 I mean*
