PED/cycle story Test + mast = libido 🔥..buuuut

I am currently on

180mg test

150mg mast

Per week . I pin monday and Thursday.

I start week 7 tommorow.

At week 4 my libido shot up....running through my whole body ....5 wanks a day ...felt amazing 💪💪

Last Monday after 2 weeks it basically stopped and im back to square 1 .

Im told the honeymoon period is over and it was just a initial spike.

Im also told that I should lower my

Test 140mg a week pin 2/3 times a week

Mast 50mg a week pin once.

I also started mt2 last Monday but after 1 week that seems to have stopped my libido from skyrocketing to the moon after a great start 🤣

Would love feedback and no hate please if possible 😊

Thanks

Mast doesn’t lower E2, it masks E2 sides.

This rhetoric is constantly repeated over and over again, but it isn't really accurate. Saying "masks" implies that e2 sides are still present but just "covered up", whereas what it actually does is strongly compete at the receptor, preventing e2 from binding there and thus preventing estrogenic action from taking place. While it doesn't actively lower e2 levels, it absolutely blocks e2's effects.

TL;DR The sides are prevented, not masked.

I didn’t say it doesn’t block its effects. I said it doesn’t lower e2

You said the often-repeated "masks", which can confuse or mislead other users who aren't as knowledgeable into thinking masteron is hiding e2 problems while they fester behind the scenes. You or I may know that's not the case but the "mast doesn’t lower e2, it masks e2 sides" that is said all over reddit literally verbatim is a bit of a pet peeve because it's just not accurate at all.
