Do you recommend blood testing done before every cycle? What bad things would you look for anyway?

Hi Bros,
Hey do you recommend blood testing to be done before any cycles?
Also during cycle?
Or after cycle?
I'm just interested to see what guy's do?
Also how important is it?
Who do you go to for that stuff? Your local GP?
Also what bad things would you look for?
Personally I never get blood work done. (That's just me) :-)

Getting blood work would be a great thing.Checking your E2 levels and cholesterol levels since test can change them.its great to see where your estrogen levels are.
Blood work is very important. Initial blood work will tell you where you are at and if you are healthy and should guide whether or not you should even begin a cycle. Knowing what is normal for you is also important as the numbers are considered guidelines. Certain values will trigger treatment and or indicate whether or not functions should be monitored. Having blood work done mid cycle while important is only a piece of the puzzle and should be in addition to blood work done prior to and after pct. I know many people don't take the time to get their levels checked and I believe that if you don't you won't maximize the benefits of cycling. just my ten cents.
Brilliant :-)
You said it in such simple terms too. (Not that I'm a meathead or anything) :-)
It's just so many people I've met just don't get it done.(what ya need that for bro, bullshit talk)
I'm not getting any yonger so like you, TB, TREAD-M, iforged05 all said makes so much sense. You always learn no matter how old you are?
I have such a much better understanding from all you guys!
Thank you KodiaGirl!
P.S - Love this forum
tread-mYou're new around here but damn I like your poison...10 cents, who does that!!??? Nice
When can I do a thumbs up?
Because I love to do it to a few people here :-)
Taught me a lot already!
tread-mI'd have to look, its changed a few times due to abuse. I think now you can it just counts no points until you achieve a few more. Maybe 10 but I'll find it here. I love this place brother so its all about the fun for me not the points. Hell nobody gives me points anyway, its nobody gives a F anymore you know what I mean? Lol
juiceinatorWho doesn't like kodiac. Superior to skoal by far.
tread-mYeah for sure, until cope shows up, then its all over! Lol
I always get blood work before and after. SUPRISINGLY, I remember a long time ago, my cholesterol levels were fucked up all my life, and once I started using AAS, two-three cycles downt he road after PCT ofcourse, my cholesterol was Perfect. Hasnt really changed since, and i've done orals (liver values always good too) the only thing that I have noticed, is a slight decrease in Natural test production every cycle down by 5-10 points. It's definitely important to do bloodwork, so you know where AAS stands in your life. Benefiting you, or harming you.
tread-m8'm with TB here and for me its more about what I call the "roadmap" , especially early on. If you have before during and after bloods off and on it gives you a nice roadmap of how to move forward in your use. It makes your self medicating much more effective. You see how everything is being affected, get a good look at your estro/shbg so you know you're not just wasting time and gear. Without bloods its all a guess and as time goes on it gets easier for you to succeed , you know how compounds are affecting you and learn to control the negatives and benefit at a higher level from the positive side as a rsult of that.
Thanks for the info.
Some guy's say who cares about blood work, others say yes got to do it!
I like your answer of the "roadmap"
I've never had it explained before like you just have.
@ TB I'm an old bloke, but have had many a cycle under belt. I've always just did regular PCT and never worried about blood work as I have met so many people who just "didn't" do it I guess. I will be not one of them from now on.
In all my future cycles blood work will be done!!
How old are you? you sound young enough to have no business injecting anything. If you are old enough and have some experience with aas:
Go to a gp and ask for a blood test and testosterone level check. It is important to ask for test level check as this is not a standard test when you have a "general blood test".
You can have them before,during and after cycles. Personally I like to have one every 4-8 weeks year round.
Blood work is important as it gives an overall gauge of your general health.
The bad things you look for are elevated liver enzymes, kidney function results, liver cholestrol etc. The doc will obviously discuss the important issues with you.
The fun part is checking testosterone and free testosterone levels. This will give you a gauge of the legitimacy of the gear you are using and dictate whether you need to use ai's etc.
Personally I think your a douche if you dont get bloodwork.
Thanks for your help & info.
Check out my reply above. :-)
every 6 weeks, the nurse is hot and i enjoy our encounters ;)
brain gets his prostate checked hourly too, he always looks back and asks for a "second opinion" if ya know what I mean ;) hahahahaha
two finger salute... answer my PMs you pornstar!!!
Ya ain't added me as your mate yet?
lol
hahahaha I must admit poofinger, I've has some troubles with my stools (I'll be nice here) and went to the doctor on Friday. He did the POOFINGER lol hahahahahaha
I coudn't walk straight for a few days! F*** me I gotta go tomorrow at 9am Noooooooooooooooo
Im not adding any new friends sorry bro.
how old are you? seriously now, prostate and dht could be up the shit, tell the gp exactly what youv taken, been taking, be honest! and get it all sorted. bloodwork takes bout 4-5 days to come back.
If the doctors a moron or wont listen, get a referral to an endocrinologist, the know what "values" on the results sheets to look for and will prescribe AI`s ect to pull you back into line.
If you think your arse is giving ya trouble.....
check out what this bloke did....

Bro, WTF...that's seriously disturbing on so many levels. Guess I should have expected that from the title.
All good blood work done, everything O.K
It's something I will be doing before & after any further cycles.
Thanks for the straight talk :-)
It's all learning I guess, like someone said here, it's a good road map on where you are at.
