Pre-Cycle Bloodwork....Low Test
Background info:
27 years old
Previous cycles:
-4 years ago, Sustanon 250mg/week. Broke my arm in a sporting incident, had to stop.
-2 superdrol cycles with proper PCT. Last cycle was 2 years ago.
- Two IGF-LR3 cycles, in the last year to help with tendonitis issues.
I have only had bloodwork done once in the past while I was running letro. I was battling some gyno that I got from superdrol, which had come and gone using nolva, but returned with my second run of IGF-1. Bloodwork showed the letro was working. My test, was over 1000, and my estrogen was extremely low.
Ultimately I don't know what base my test level was prior to all of this. I just recently got bloodwork since I plan on starting a test cycle soon. These are my results:
Testosterone Serum: 269 Normal Range:348 - 1197
Leutinizing Hormone(LH):2.1 Normal Range: 1.7 - 8.6
FSH, Serum: 2.2 Normal Range: 1.5 - 12.4
Estradiol: 7.3 Normal Range: 7.6 - 42.6
Although I have some cycle history, I want to believe that my low test is largely in part caused by my diet. I have been dieting and been in a caloric deficit for about the last 6 months, my bodyfat is sometimes sub 5% and up to 7.5% range. I've found that what has worked best for me to keep my muscles and appetite full is to have High protein/ high carb/ and low fat diet. Consequently I think typically keeping my fats low for so long I've somewhat diminished my test levels.
I dont feel like my test is low though. My libido is high, energy levels are great, and I'm still able to burn fat and make gains in the gym. However one thing I did notice was my strength had gone down, but I attributed that to being very lean and dropping body weight.
Shed some light on me guys. Should I proceed with cycle as planned, or should play with my diet and get more bloodwork done to see if my test levels have changed. I am just concerned considering I'm 27 and my test is this low. What would Ya'll do??
Btw, I did the bloodwork fasted upon waking up. I live right next to the lab.
