Blood Work & Checkups

Blood work and checkups should be a vital part of anyone wanting to be safe while using steroids. It's an easy, fast and fairly cheap process to undergo to ensure ones health. The recommendation is to have blood work and a checkup done before starting steroids or after a long off period so you know what "normal" is for your body when the results come back. Then you would get labs and a checkup done again before you were getting ready to start your next cycle. As long as everything came back okay, you would have the green light to start your next cycle.

The best way to go about this is to contact you regular doctor and tell him you want a checkup. When you go in, let him know what's going on and tell him you wold like some lab work done as well. Most of the time they won't have a problem with this because it's showing that you are being as safe as you can with everything.

Nothing out of the ordinary needs to be done for the checkup, just a standard one. As for the lab work/blood work there are two different options. One is more extensive than the other, but if money is an issue, the more basic one is fine.
Basic Lab Work:
1. Liver Function Test
2. Kidney Function Test
3. Lipid Profile (all cholesterol and triglycerides)
4. Total and Free Testosterone

Full Lab Work:
All tests listed above and...
1. Full blood count (RBC count & differential white cell count)
2. Electrolytes
3. Muscle Enzyme (Creatine)
4. Minerals
5. Iron Status Profile
