Blood work of a pro

[Shelby]

At 38 years young I just got back the best blood labs I've ever seen since I've been checking them (which goes back to about 2001). I'm very pleased with this.
Very low C-reactive protein which is an inflammation marker (0.16), good liver and kidney values, the highest HDL I've personally ever had (and mine is naturally low), very good cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride numbers.
This past year I spent the full offseason at HRT doses, then precontest kept my supplement total at under 1,000mg, and still managed to place my best ever (4th at the Chicago 212).

how do you clean out your receptors?

That is impressive .i know genetics plays a big role in what goes on with our bodies .some guys can use large doses and have decent bloodwork and other guys have serious issues .

Way to go Shelby. I think it's awesome of you to say things like this and show that health can be maintained while pursuing bodybuilding. And that you don't need to be crazy with supplements to attain success.

How many chickens or cows do you drink a day ?

Were you on only TRT when you had these labs and how long has it been since you've been off your contest prep supplements?

Yes and 5 weeks

Also had an echocardiogram done a couple weeks back and all was good.
Had a vascular screening done yesterday, waiting on results of that.
Blood pressure was 100/66 yesterday at the hospital (for the screening).

That's awesome Shelby! Glad you're in good health and killing it on stage too :headbang:

I also recently had an echocardiogram done, checked out fine, was glad to hear myself!

I really wish I was as health oriented as you from the start :banghead:

What was your "trt" dose, just wondering. Your blood pressure is great. Are you on any meds to lower that or is that just natural? Im impressed!

That is extremely impressive!

My BP has always been good, fortunately.
It takes about 200 to 240mg test E per week to keep my levels around 700-900.

Hypothetically would you keep gh year round as well?
What about magnesium?

How much insulin would you use if your using it to hold or put on size / lower shbg with trt - if you were to recommend it to a client ?

Do you think not pushing more food and staying leaner played a role in HDL?

Thanks

Can you list the doses of these please.

Also, are you not worried you thin your blood too much with the aspirin?
