+ 4 Post PCT Bloods (First Tren Cycle)
I ordered a complete male hormone panel following my first tren cycle and PCT to make sure the cycle didn't throw things too far out of normal.
Everything looks good, or at least similar to before this cycle. I'm surprised at how quickly I'm recovering. This test was taken the day after my 4 week PCT ended.
Cycle:
Week 1-8 Tren Ace 350mg
Week 1-8 Test Prop 175mg
Week 1-8 .5mg Caber
PCT: Started 3 days after last pin
Week 1-2 Clomid 100mg/day
Week 3-4 Clomid 50mg/day
Week 1-2 Nolva 20mg/day
Week 3-4 Nolva 10mg/day
I've been lucky with PPs research liquids, they've seemed to work well for me. I've used them exclusively for my PCT for my previous 3 cycles. However, I don't like the inherent dosing inaccuracies of the liquids. I'm going pharma grade pill form for my next cycle. PP's liquids will be backup if needed.
Overall, the cycle was great and the PCT was not bad at all. I had viagra on hand during the cycle, but never needed it. Same during PCT. Had some minor hair thinning, seems to have reversed some since coming off. Very little acne on my shoulders and back during PCT, none during cycle. Few nights of heavy sweating. Pretty oily skin. Frequent hot flashes after a carb-loaded meal. Elevated resting heartrate (from low 60s normally to upper 80s on cycle), didn't do any cardio during so I don't know how it impacted my cardio but it did not affect my lifting in any way. Light agression, I avoided alcohol and people in general. More easily aggravated by wife and kids, but once I recognized it, it was very manageable. Got the cough once, hope to God that never happens again. Pinned 100mg Tren Ace mixed with 50mg Test Prop EOD. Rotated ventro-glutes and quads. Weight from 177 to 193 during the cycle, now sitting at 185 on a maintenance diet. Body fat increased a couple pounds during cycle, but body fat percentage dropped. Currently a decent bit leaner, and larger now, than before the cycle.
I plan on running the same cycle over the summer. Right now, I'm going to take full advantage of my free test, lift heavy, and get on some HIIT cardio.

Nice cycle... short, simple and moderately dosed..
Also I have a few comments:
Next panel you get... check out your FSH and LH levels. You can assess the level of your shutdown and recovery by looking at these levels too. They should be at a ratio of 1:1
You ever do a baseline on your lipids? it may also be prudent to look at your HDL/LDL on your next panel.
Although you did celebrate a little too early, this test served a purpose as you got to see your PCT in action especially since you are using research grade meds.
Definitely interested in seeing your levels at about the 2nd to 3rd month post PCT
And you can pray to the tren gods all you want. You just have to accept that you will give tren cough again especially if you pin ace straight at higher doses. One way I've learned to minimize it is to sandwich it between two compounds or mix it with something else like you did with prop. Even so, once the tren dosages start to ramp up you will still get it to a degree. I've gotten it so many times, Ive lost count. I've never gotten cough when running Tren E..
Thanks for the bloods. +1
This looks like a false reading. The day after pct ended is WAY too soon to get an accurate reading. 4-8 weeks after is considered the standard with 6-8 being the best. Post pct would not have ur free test this high.
PP, imo is crap. Have been for a while and i would not trust my bodys recovery to research chems. Pharma would be the way to go.
Now ill wait for that goon Ranga to come on and tell me im an idiot and pp is the best thing since sliced bread
You are entitled to your opinion but the good thing here is yet another positive blood work that supports PP's quality.
Damn bro. A troll tag and a -38... How the heck did you get yourself in that mess?
PP just saved my ass . Can't complain
Just found this article showing the clomid can raise free test levels. So, looks like I'll be getting bloods done again in a month or so.

I think six weeks should be minimum. I ran my post pct bloods after 4 weeks and my free test was through the roof also. It takes a while to let everything clear out to get an accurate reading. +1 for bloods
