Just started thinking about doing a first cycle, been training for about four years now and was mostly just interested in seeing what it would be like. This post was very informative and gave me a good idea of what to expect for a first cycle. Probably will wait a few more years until I really start to plateau but very helpful to start researching. Thanks again!
When you're talking about bloodwork .... what do you mean exactly?
using one of the do it yourself blood testing services . look at your general health and hormone levels . </p><p>https://musclegurus.to/forum/anabolic-steroids/new-to-steroids-start-here/101634-the-basics-of-ordering-bloodwork</p>Unknown22514 said:
Bloodwork to see what your pre first cycle hormone levels are to give you a baseline for future reference. You'll get your natty testosterone level, and then after pct you can see how well you've recovered by comparing post pct bloodwork. Many cycles later you can also see if the aas is affecting your natty t levels also. It's very likely that after many cycles your natty t levels will drop, and eventually you'll endvup on trt. It's a consideration that many young guys don't take into account when they start cycling.
Great article to read for sure! Thanks!
Waiting for symptoms to develop before taking an AI is 'crisis management'. 'Preventive maintenance' is much more productive and beneficial.
The only way for us to truly 'know' how, how much and when to begin dosing an AI is regular blood work and personal experience.
Most TRT patience know there bodies reactions very well and know the importance of regular blood work. I would go so far as to say many TRT patience are much more educated and knowledgable in this area than most 'typical' AAS user.
SEMPER FI
how far into a cycle of say test cypinate would you wait before you had a blood test done?
Im really glad I looked on the internet first. I was actually going to get it from a guy I've known for years. Although he was simply going to give me sustanon and dbol and that's it. I had no idea that it was a lot more complicated. I'm starting to think this guy hasn't been doing anything properly as he suggested I do a 6 week cycle and never once told me about post therapy or hcg. I actually accidently stumbled across this on a site that said check our ratings at muscle gurus thanks guys these forums have been very helpful.
I'm interested in cost as well. I can afford it, but I'd like to make a budget. I don't want to leave anything to chance, here.
