8 weeks into 750mg test and 400mg EQ and my resting HR has crept from 60 up to around 80. I'm checking it every morning before I get up, same conditions, so it's not a fluke reading. Feeling fine in the gym but it's clearly trending the wrong way.
I know EQ hammers the RBC count and hematocrit is probably part of this. Already booked a blood donation for next week. What else are you guys actually doing to bring the resting rate back down without pulling the dose back? Running cardio 3x a week already but it's zone 3 style intervals, not long steady stuff. Is that making a difference or should I be doing something different?
