I just finished a blast and I wanted to get some thoughts or opinions. Just finished a Test E/EQ cycle. First time running 2 injectables. Started at 300 a week test E and 500 a week EQ. Ive heard people on diff videos/podcasts float around the idea that EQ can help with estrogen management so i started with no AI. Got bloods done around week 6. Total test was was 1860ng/dl, free test 639 pg/ml, E2 ultra sensitive was 4 pg/ml. Wasnt having any sides other than slight libido issue, and once i saw the blood work i figured it was from low E2 so i walked the doses up to 500 test E and 900 EQ at the highest. No other bloods on cycle but i never ran into any issues with sides and libido got better. Ive ran 300mg test E before with no AI and my total was around 1300 ng, free around 450 pg, and E2 was 94 pg with only real sides being water retention and a little erection reliablilty, but at that time i was pinning twice weekly and now i always pin every other day even on a blast. This cycle was part of a growth phase. Was eating 3500-4000 cals a day. Weight went up about 15lbs total. Had good results but was definitely underwhelmed with the EQ considering the dose. Back on trt for now.
Now that im done im wondering what was keeping my E2 in check. Was the EQ restricting conversion to E2? If so was it converting to a diff form of estrogen that didnt produce negative results? Or was the EQ not EQ at all, but if not what else would it have been? If it was just test in an EQ bottle then my E2 would have been high as fuck. I cant imagine it would have been something like Mast being thats more expensive than EQ. Also, i bought it from a top source thats long standing and a well known brand so i feel good about their gear. Just wondering what other people thought about this. Dont really have anyone else i can ask. Thanks for any comments.
