Another post mentioning blood work prompted me to start this thread.
First of all, I'd say that anyone who spends a significant percent of the year using steroids would be foolish not to have blood work done. The adverse effects of steroids if unchecked can be 1) devastating and 2) permanent. A liver is not an organ to be taken lightly. Nor the kidneys or heart. And then there is cholesterol. But what I am primarily interested in is seeing what everyone elses blood serum levels of testosterone is according to their pathology report. Mine have always ranged between 1800 to 2800 ng/dl.
The reason this subject interests me is because when talking about cycles and steroids, this is where the tire meets the road. end of story.
One interesting point I will also mention - standard pathology used for bloodwork only includes assays for testosterone (the biological standard) and not it's many hybrid versions like trenbolone, 1-Testosterone, Boldenone, etc. So, using bloodwork to gauge these compounds is useless. As far as I know, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but only sport related tests utilize all the neccessary assays to check for every compound, and, some of the assays are extremely expensive to perform.
Anyway - what are your blood serum levels?
