Blood workafter a blasting cycle

[JCLadson]

I have a friend of mine who is on year round; blasting and cruising. His last blast cycle was for 12 weeks and now he was on his for for 4 weeks. I suggested him to get bloodwork done prior to his next blasting phase.

Is this needed? If so, what do you suggest all the test that he should order?

I would recommend that anytime he is blasting or cruising that he gets bloodwork done and a check-up. I go into see my doctor every 3 months and he tests my blood and a through physical.

bigA wrote an article where he lists the essential things to check. Its in the article section and stickied in the beginner forum.

The blood tests that you need are: full blood count,
liver and kidney function tests, FSH, LH, TSH,
cholesterol.
If the Total protein test in the liver tests is high,
that is because of your diet. You need to keep an eye
on the Billirubin and Urea test results. Your FSH and
LH will be suppressed - that's normal because of the
gear. If the TSH is low, add 20mcg/d T3. If the kidney
function is off, then drink more. Protein stresses the
kidneys, so you need more fluids.

here you go.

Thanks a lot Shelb, I like that a little better.

Should be also get a test to check this total test and also free test to see if it back down from the blasting phase?

my apologies...after rereading BigA's article it is clear that is bloodwork while ON cycle...sorry about that...tests are different for OFF cycle...Shelby probably has better advice.
