Hello everyone I finally started, I didnt taper up but just jumped into it at 50mg ED.
Im on a 500 calorie deficit so I don't think I'll see much muscle gain from this cycle. (We are going until 6 weeks)
So far I've been losing 1.5-2 pounds which is pretty normal and muscles feel hard when flexed.
I dont really "feel" it and I got my bloods done but not really sure where to look to see if it is working.
So far I haven't had any crazy pumps that stopped me from working out but I have noticed minimal amounts of strength gains slightly more than usual.
finally, the beginning of 3rd week I noticed some discomfort in my gut in the mornings and my piss being slightly darker than usual which is extremely odd since I only drink water and its been clear for months now. I immediately went to the doctors to check for kidney stones but all tests came back as everything normal which led them to test my liver as the next culprit. My AST and ALT levels are pretty high: AST at 46 U/L and ALT at 104 U/L. I know its pretty normal for orals to be pretty taxing on the liver but when is too much too much? I don't do any cardio but the other day me and a friend raced and I went on a full sprint and that area of the body was causing me serious pain afterwards other than that its more discomfort.
Should I start tapering off? or should I say fuck it and continue on for the next 2 weeks (were at start of week 4 on the 17th)?
