Test E, Masteron & Anavar Cycle

Hi Guys.

Long time lurker, finally registered. 

Need some advice, but first some background. 

Been training on and off since my teens, until around 10 years ago where life happened. in my mid to early 20's I ran a few cycles mostly Test, Deca and Dbol (Gym Bro stack from ), and some Winstrol in there too. 
I got back into it again 2 years ago, and promptly tore the extensors in my left forearm after after being back in the gym for 4 months. Ended up being down for almost another 4 months. However been back at it hard for around a year. 

In the 10 years I since I stopped training weight ballooned to 128kg from a 81kg at 14% bodyfat. Since then I have been extremely strict on diet and dropped weight to 98kg at 25% (tested with calipers so could be slightly out) bodyfat. 

I got to around 104kg and I struggled to shift from there in body fat or weight. I eventually went to get some bloods done (end of August) and everything was pretty much in order (I don't have a copy of the bloods as the doc ordered it, however im sure I could get them) with the exception of Test being very low. 

Total Test was at 7.88nmol/l
Free Test was at 51.4pmol/l

Obviously TRT was discussed with the doctor, as I had planned to hop back on sometime. I decided to start a recomp / cut cycle at Beginning of December. 

Current Stats: 
40 years old
178cm 
98kg
25% bodyfat

Current Cycle:
Planned Duration: 20 weeks
Current week: 8
480mg Test E (pinned 2 x a week)
400mg Masteron E (pinned 2 x a week) ~ Started in week 8
30mg Anavar per day ~ Starting in week 16
5mg Retatrutide (pinned once a week)

Nutrition: 
1800 to 1950cal per day
190 to 205gr protein 
140 to 150gr carbs
50ish grams of fats

Initially I started at a higher calories of around 2300 but I wasn't seeing much results. I think it might be as a lead a fairly sedentary day job. However at current calories I started to see about 0.5kg drop in weight per week in the last 5 weeks that I've been eating these macros. 

Supplementation:
1 x Cap Total Repair Tudca
Multivitamin (500mg)
600mg Potassium
BCAA's 
5gr Creatine a Day

Training: 
5 x week (Push, Pull, Legs, Shoulders, Arms, Rest, Rest)
4 x a week running / walk / job 5km depending on if i cardio alone or family comes with

I feel great, loads of energy, strength has been on the up (although it has slowed down the last 2 weeks), sex drive is good (although actual ejaculation is a bit meh). 

Now the reason for the post. I got my bloods done on friday. 
Almost everything came back looking pretty decent. However my Hematocrit came back high at 53%, and E2 at382pmol/L

I've attached the full panel below. If I could get some input on mostly the bloods, but cycle, nutrition etc would not be overlooked either. 

Thanks.

Double Post

Your c reactive protein indicates full systemic inflammation probably due to under recovery from massively under eating trying to build muscle as well as the inflammatory nature of high dose anabolics.

Ive got a client who is a doctor and recons crp over 2, especially ultra sensitive crp is a redflag.

Your estrogen is high because your testosterone is to high..

Your hematocrit is high due to probably being dehydrated during tests but its only a matter of time before rbc goes up as high estrogen spikes erythropoietin which stimulate bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.

So in summary , too much testosterone, too little food, too much training, not enough recovery.

You should decrease potassium and increase sodium,  excessive potassium can lead to hyperkylemia. If your diet contains potatoes and sweet potatoes, excess potassium should not be needed 
 

You also left out vital tests like an iron profile, thyroid panel and kidney function, which an u and e and creatinine would have given you an Electrolyte break down which would have shown you where your potassium is.

I quote the doctor i work with for my clients and analysis business.

"If CRP is 4, there is already an active tissue infection/inflammation on a pathological level"

Thank you Empire appreciate your input.

I'm not trying to build muscle at this point in time per se. Just retain what is there. However I do understand the point you are making. 
Estrogen wise I do have Arimidex on hand, and started dosage on 0.25mg, 24 hours after pinning as of this week. 
Would it be bad to continue the Masteron which was also started this week? 
Regarding High Test would you recommend I scale it back to lower test levels? 

hematocrit Tests were done fasted at 7.30ish in the morning. I understand it does raise the levels should the next panel be done in the afternoon?

Training is only 12 sets a week per body part. Typically with Compound movements in the 6 to 8 rep range and isolation stuff in 10 to 15 range. Would you suggest dial it back to 4 days a week with even fewer sets per body part? 

I don't have much Sodium in my food in general I eat around 2500mg per day tracked as well as I'm able too. I don't eat much potato, mostly rice and cruciferous veggies for carbs, with some Weetbix in the morning. 

You also left out vital tests like an iron profile, thyroid panel and kidney function, which an u and e and creatinine would have given you an Electrolyte break down which would have shown you where your potassium is.

I will add this to the next panel. I had planned on going in 4 weeks. 
Would you suggest I head back sooner and add in those tests?

Could you dumb it down for me?
Should I be worried and head into the doctor for a checkup?

Arimadex is only used in worse case scenarios such as 150mg test and your nipples feel like they are growing.

I say too much volume. And at 98kgs 25% fat and 178cm tall. You dont have much muscle, you should focus on that and fat loss is a byproduct. I've had plenty clients lose fat whilst gaining muscle at your current volume and food intake, muscle wasting would be happening. Reta should be there just to control appetite, your dose is quite high.

Crp above 4 means you are inflamed all over, and if you are constipated from reta that inflammation can be in the gut as you are not eliminating toxins and causing inflammation in the system

No you just need to drink 1.5l water before a test.

I do all of this for a living, so I will give you broad based answers, but I wont give you a full break down.

But i can tell you, you are doing too much volume and cardio on too little food. You can run fast, or you can run long, but you cant run fast for long.
