Am I cooked?
Boys… am I cooked or can I still cook?
I’m 44 185 5’10” bmi around 20% Been on straight TRT doses for about two years, recently decided to put the foot on the gas the past 2 months I’m pinning 100mg test c eod . Currently 5 months in mid-cut: 1700 cals, ~800 deficit, surviving on chicken and spite.
Running 100mg test c every other day. I’m on levothyroxine for my thyroid and my meds definitely need adjusting on that
Just got labs back and the highlights are:
• Total T sitting at a comfortable 1593
• E2 at 73
• TSH deciding it wants to be the main character
• RBC and RDW already starting to look a little spicy
• FSH/LH on a permanent vacation
Basically my blood work looks like it’s been mainlining gear and energy drinks.
Now I’m debating adding a secondary. Looking at Primo or EQ (yes I know 90% of both is fake out there, I’m not delusional).
Do I dial it back, keep pushing, or just lean into the chaos and see how high we can get the hematocrit before the lab starts sending me personal letters?
Drop your honest opinions, roasts, and protocol suggestions. I’m all ears (and apparently all estrogen).

These labs aren't even that bad outside of your thyroid. Drink more water for the RBC/hematocrit. Are you prescribed T4? Your free T4 is pretty low considering your TSH is through the fuckin roof and free T3 is normal.
Hash710Yea I’m on levothyroxine , started treatment a while ago. My numbers or coming down, but it seems like they may need to adjust my dosage.lol
Hash710I appreciate the solid advice
Start donating blood as often as you are allowed and it will keep your hematocrit under control. Definitely nothing to fuck around with.
But to answer your question- you’re definitely not cooked bro. Just keep grinding and stay smart with your AAS usage.
Good luck bro
This is terrible advice. Speedrun to tanking your iron and ferritin levels just to have hematocrit come back up. All he has to do is drink more water and do more cardio. Maybe some nattokinase if that doesn’t help.
You are definitely not cooked. If you were over 55, i would say definitely slow down.. in this case drink more water and reevaluate.
All you have to do is donate blood...
Why would you donate blood with a 51 hct? Just gonna cause a rebound
A good oil change goes a long ways…. I was mostly speaking to when it starts to bounce higher.
Pipeliner47Drink more water and keep an eye on your total platelet count. Once that goes above 5-600 than yes the high hema can be a problem. Nobody wants to be pumping ketchup for blood. Dhea is tanked! What's your age? Either way your hemo isn't that bad. It's when the double h and platelet count are all elevated out of normal range that could lead to some problems. If you're going to supplement dhea make sure it's micronized. I would feel like dog crap if mine were that low. But I'm also pushing 50 so it's crucial to keep that one in check for overall well-being.
Hash710Thanks for the advice I’m 44
51 hematocrit is rookie numbers
Im lying LOL, but you still got room to push. Just keep an eye on it. Estrogen isnt bad either if you are symptom free.
How long have you been "foot on the gas"? That would help form an opinion on adding another compound
Hash710About two months at the 100mg eod
At this point youre probably better off sticking with the test only for 8 more weeks, then health phase, then plan your next blast with a second compound. This give you more time to research
How old are you?
Hash71044
Not old enough
Exactly what I was thinking
How long have you been on 350 test/week? How long have you been in a huge deficit? I’d wager high TSH is from the huge caloric deficit assuming you’ve never been diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
Hash710I actually have been diagnosed, but it seems like my medication may need updating ! lol
51 hematocrit is not even close to bad idk why you're tsh is fucked though that's interesting
Hash710Probably my hyperthyroidism , Sorry, I forgot to include that
