My blood panel results

[AWN2004]

I'm trying to raise awareness and get more guys to figure out where they are at. Here is mine. Some things could be better of course but I always expect the worse case scenario. Got this done yesterday morning after a 12 hr fast.

One thing I'd like to note is that I know I did not drink enough water the day before and I trained very hard the day prior which skews things a bit.

I'm trying to raise awareness and get more guys to figure out where they are at. Here is mine.

What is the context of these results i.e. is this after a cycle, if so how long after?

They are pretty good with the exception of the elevated LDL.

Thanks for Posting

Looks like my blood work. Mine looked a lot better before I started watching DVDs. But my biceps are a lot bigger and my wife is unhappy with my new hobby.

I don't understand the shocked response by so many when a DVD watcher has a cardiac event. WTF do you think is going to happen? This is a very dangerous game some of us are playing. I know I stay current on my hefty life insurance prior to paying any other bill. I have a family. I know I'm playing with fire.

I'm getting ready to start dieting in about 5 weeks (this is pretty much in the middle of my off-season) so I wanted to make sure I was healthy. My total cholesterol was under 200 but my HDL needs to come up. I talked to an MD about the results and he asked me some questions and I am going to up my omegas which I had not been doing along with some niacin. I don't eat that bad in the off season but all the males in my family have cholesterol issues so I check it often. My dad has his under control and its from some changes in his diet. He's not overweight at all (6'2 186) and in his late 60's. It's just something I have to be aware of.

They all look pretty good except for the ldl and hdl but they arent aweful. Why the high T3?

 

[GoneForever]

I may start upping the omegas as well. I was doing 8g daily but since i got a shitty hdl as well, maybe guys like us need closer to 15g per day.

T3 Uptake is confusing to many because a high number is not indicative of an over acitve thyroid. That particular test measures the proteins in the blood that carry the T3 hormone and a high number typically means the opposite of what many people think. Taking something like growth hormone can have a big impact on this number.
