Health question/experience question
Hello all, new to the site but have been looking around for months. I just have a couple questions about starting a first cycle.
To preface I plan on doing everything by the books 500mg test-c for 12-16 weeks (haven’t decided yet) my only issue that I have is that due to genetics I have naturally high blood pressure, runs in the family and every single one of us has it. I’m constantly teetering on normal and pre hypertension.
Stats: 27yo
Height: 6’1
Weight: 175lbs
Bf: I’m going to assume 15-17% just based on online references.
Now I know there’s risks involved with steroid use which I 100% understand and have diligently researched for over a year all the ins and outs. I’m in great health so I’m not worried about anything serious but I want to be proactive and even though I know some damage is inevitable to my organs, I want to limit the damage done as much as possible. So I want some advice and experience from other users who also started with relatively high BP, went on cycle, and how did you manage it the best to keep your BP in check.
Thank you.

You can check out mk677. That might be enough for what you're looking for. Morning doses, 25-50mg. I like 50 if I want to eat like a horse with some recomposition
I didn't start until 31 yrs old. I contemplated hard but it was honestly best I waited. As you may find out this lifestyle can make or break you. You have your whole life ahead of you. Having all your ducks in a row, such as a stable career, proper discipline, and or maybe even a family of your own. I don't know your status but even just hanging around the boards for a couple years and asking questions, there's a lot of good info here about fitness aside from just juice.
Research some telmisartan for bp. If you decide that’s what you wanna use, I’ve seen sources with it on here if you can’t get your doc to prescribe. There’s other options but I know that one has been gaining some popularity with bodybuilders lately. As far as personal experience having high bp before gear use, I can’t help you there bud, but good luck to ya
Just start your first cycle and try the 400mg to 500 mg a week and see how your body reacts. I have elevated BP and I have a monitor so I just check it to make sure its not going high. I have been doing 600mg of test a week and I have been fine. Limit your caffeine intake and you should be fine. After 4 weeks get your blood check for hematocrit and hemoglobin and if its high go donate some blood. The test will give you a boost in the gym and help you look good. This is my experience. The important part is to do blood work and there are private sites to order the lab tests and have them done at places like Quest diagnostics.
My dood eat food and lift weights?!? Go fucking harder man. Your not doing enough. And don't /hopefully/ gain nothing. That's like sitting around just hoping if I keep doing what I'm doing I'll gain 7 more #. Brother. Eat much more food/drink water - lift heavy and gain 27 # you can do it I'm telling you truuuuueeee
I would talk to your doc about getting on a statin
Why a statin? For the hypertension? Does high BP = high cholesterol?
Doctor got me on atavorstatin for cholesterol and Lisinopril for blood pressure. Even on 500 test both are in the good range best thing while taking aas. If you test high in either with the doctor and most likely you will, tell her you found out its on your paternal or maternal side of family history. Thats if you resist the advice to hold off and just go harder and going to do it anyway.
Im taking rousovostatin so I'm familiar. Just wonderinf if he was suggesting it for BP which he wasn't
Well i was on on the statin for a year and my blood pressure still remained high until she put me on the blood pressure med. So my body the statin didn't bring it down but may work on some people
Right... Statins won't work for bp
Supposed to be sartan.
like losartan or telmisartan
If you want my honest advice I wouldn’t consider your first cycle just yet. You have a lot of room to grow naturally. At 175lbs there’s no reason to harm yourself by going on cycle . Eat more , lift hard and gain weight and muscle. I know this doesn’t exactly answer your question but this would be my only answer for you right now and advice I’d give anyone in your shoes
Completely understand your point. Perhaps I will postpone it for another year or so and hopefully gain another 5-7lbs of lean mass.
Spot on brother
