Well here it is boys.
After 8 weeks of being on Test U. Ultima Brand from OS.
Protocol was approx as follows. I wrote it down somewhere but lost it and I’m having a hard time remembering it you’ll get the gist.
500mg twice weekly for the first week.
250mg twice weekly for the next two weeks.
Then 250mg weekly since.
Labs were drawn 6 days post injection.
HDL is LOW low compared to my usual (it always hovers around 28-32) as a result of me wanting to see how much anadrol would affect my lipids. I have loved anadrol in my off-season over the last two years but trying to be more health conscious as I get older I wanted to see what a week of it would do to my lipids compared to my last test. 50mg pwo on my training days (3 days in a row then off one day) for the week prior cut my HDL in half. At least.
To me this is not worth the risk considering I plan to take two big off season pushes between now and the next time I start prep to get back on stage. I’ll stick to the injectable route and leave the orals for prep only. It commonly elevated my ALT/AST as well, more so than just heavy training. Nothing abnormal there. Kidney function still looks awesome. Telmisartan doing it’s job there.

I know its not a huge increase - But it just shows what Anadrol does to the liver even when used very conservatively. Puts to bed the rumour that his has very little effect on liver values often cited from that 1 particular study where they give the impression that even when used in highly prescribed mg/kg doses its still fine. Its actually surprising it didn't bring your eGFR down a little at the same time. I am sure you have seen it, but just watch the hematocrit/hemoglobin bud!
I've seen so many mix answers but always heard Anadrol plays the biggest role on liver values. In YOUR opinion, which oral has less stress on the liver? Merely asking as I'm more aware of my levels now too and have only used Dbol, Var and Halo but I wanna say Var was the easiest on my liver? But I'd like to hear other people's input. The Dbol was harsh from my old blood but that could be because I was eating it like candy dosages lol I never got blood on the var or halo during my fight competition that training period.
The 2 that come to mind as being the least troublesome on the liver are Anavar and Tbol, but they do both still affect it and are not by any means 'healthy' as such lol Anavar is sneaky because its mainly metabolised in your kidneys, so it actually decreases your eGFR if you get bloods done after you have used it. Tbol is just in the liver, but again it can still scar the inside of the kidneys if used in high doses. Many members on here have seen increases in liver enzymes after using Anavar which often surprises people given its often touted as a safe oral. Thing is though you can't become too paranoid about all this as all steroids affect organs in some degree or another, the important thing with orals is not to go over 8 weeks with them ideally and then during your time off things will reset to normal again. Its when you stay on them for months on end when the permanent damage starts to be done. Halotestin as I am sure you are well aware is one of the most toxic orals you can take, that along with Mtren and Cheque drops which fighters often use for pre fight aggression. They have been known to make people think that ears look appetising LOL
Thanks brother I’m on it!
@Ghost Not sure if you saw our discussion a few weeks ago on Test U in Mct vs Test U in castor oil. Our focus was on whether the type of carrier oil affected test U half life. The conclusion was yes it did affect the half life after Serra stated that his test score on labs were a bit lower with mct carrier oil vs castor oil. Test u castor oil was pharma and Test U in mct was underground but HPLC lab tested.
I did finally catch that thread! I’ll take the mct though so I don’t have to pin with a harpoon lol. I don’t see castor oil moving through a 25g needle
Absolutely, I would too. Hell we both are pip sensitive lol. It wasn't a big difference so not a big issue as far as carrier oils used. Folks were just curious. Carries oils somehow affect half life of esters is what I gathered. And yea forget about real castor oil moving through 25 gauge.
Nice. Thank for posting labs bro. +1
Great results! Congrats!
Thank you brother. Will definitely be purchasing this only for my TRT in the future.
So is this good for you? Does 250mg usually get you 1000? And is the test u in mct? I think I remember a while ago that you were having problems with getting low scores from sustanon or something like that. Was that you or am I thinking about someone else?
I’ll clarify above my bad brother. Yes this is GREAT for me. This is where my number used to be at 200mg Cyp every 7 days. But earlier this year I was testing stupid low on Test E 300 half ml every 5 days, like under 300 I think my initial test level came back at 289. And even after getting on Script TRT 200mg once a week my number only went up to mid 400s. My doc had my change to 0.6ml every 3 days and that only got me up to around 680 two days post injection the day before I was due again. So that’s when I sought out the Test U for a solution. It is MCT. And this tells me it is probably pretty accurately dosed without sending it to Jano. At least the numbers make sense to me. I’m pumped with this lol.
Edit and even last year I submitted a BUNCH of labs on different brand Sustanon I was testing low then too. And thought it was the source whereas turns out I just started metabolizing it faster and faster.
Did you ever test your shbg during that time. Sometimes when your shbg is really low you metabolize extremely fast. But that's cool that your scoring better, it must be such a relief.
Yessir it should be on my last set of labs posted. It was under 10 I believe. And absolutely relieved. I don’t love pinning so when I’m backing down to TRT I’m very happy to see where the Test U will keep me on a once a week schedule.
