Blood Work ... what to check?

[anarchocapitalist]

Hey guys.

36 years old been using steroids on a regular basis since 1997 as a 17 year old kid. Currently 5'6" 210lbs lean enough to have abs and vascular arms and legs.

I'll be honest I don't eat healthy. The first meal and last meal of the day is eggs/oats and every other meal is chicken and rice. Not really big into veggies a few times a week my girlfriend makes me eat them.

Right now I'm 6 weeks into a 1200mg testosterone only cycle and will probably bump it up to 2000mg/wk over summer to compete in a powerlifting meet here where I hope to squat/deadlift 620lbs raw (just a belt no wraps) and bench 450ish.

Going to get some blood work done. What do I want to check?

Second one down, the Anti-Aging Panel.

Will cover damn near everything. Lipids are most important IMO. Seems that heart issues are #1 killer of bodybuilders/power lifters.

I tell my doctor everything and he does know a lot about steroids I just want to make sure my bases are covered as I don't know the terminology and I don't miss anything.

these shitty ass "doctors")...then he will know
what to check for....but, tell him you want everything.

Problem with telling the average doctor, "everything", is that they won't test for some of the most important things steroid users (or anybody) need to test for. They'll usually just test lipids, red blood cells, kidney function, liver function. Those can give the user a false sense of security if they look alright.

Always make sure to ask them for CRP, Lpa, Homocysteine, vitamin D, estradiol, particle size test (I forgot the new name of the test since VAP was discontinued) and thyroid function on top of what they already plan to do.
