Hello everyone, I've had some blood work done recently as I've not made any gains for what seems like forever and just seemed stalled out in life generally. I've been training since I was about 15.
I paid for the tests myself and had to ask for the E2 to be added and I'm glad I did because it's stupidly high. From what I've read on here (thanks people), it would explain my lack of gains due to blocking any positives effects from my (what seem to be) normal T levels.
If I'm reading the results right, my immune system seems to be run down as my Platelets etc are all at the low end of the spectrum (Asthma??)
Not sure on the high Potassium, Sodium & Urea levels

Right, so where do I go from here? Any input gratefully received
