Steroids are bad m’kay

As promised, here is my bloodwork.

Leading up to this, I was on moderate to high (depending on your point of view) doses of various steroids for about 16 mo the straight. Up to 800mg of testosterone per week as a base, with 200-300mg each of 2-3 other compounds added in.

This bloodwork was done 35 days after my last injection. Immediately following that last shot, I used 500iu of HCG every other day for 20 days, followed by 50mg of clomiphene citrate alternated with 20mg tamoxifen citrate again dosed every other day.

My good cholesterol is a touch low. My bad cholesterol is high, but in range. The :doomed: that has been thrust upon the pubic of the dangers of steroids is all horseshit.

You’ll see that my platelets are low as well, but I donated blood a few weeks before this, and I believe that to be the reason, although I will have that looked at to be sure.

Hematocrit/hemoglobin are high, which is part of how steroids work, although that is a slight risk because it means my blood is thicker. I was not diligent about donating blood during that 16 months and this could have easily kept my blood thinner and in a more healthy range. When I get back on, I’ll donate every 12-16 weeks.

Feel free to ask any questions, or tell me I’m :wrong: and a walking dead man.

TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. It regulates your metabolism. I don't take any thyroid drugs, it's just naturally high. That's why I'm able to stay lean so easily. It's why putting on muscle is so hard for me, but also why shredding for the show was so easy for me and why I was able to get that lean while still eating 3200 calories a day at my lowest point.

Unfortunately because of lobbying and big pharma, it's cheaper for me to buy my shit underground than through a doctor or TRT clinic. $40 for a 2.5g bottle vs close to $100 for a 1.5-2g bottle going legal through insurance and all that.

Haha PM me if you're interested. I know my stuff is good too, got tested while on 600mg/week and my test levels were over 1500 (where their scale stopped)

At least I can take solace in my state finally legalizing weed. Although I've abstained for the last three weeks while going through this interview process..

I've only done very light looking into it, but sounds like any employer in Cali can DQ you for a failed drug test since marijuana is still illegal on a federal level...

It's an easy out if someone wants to DQ you.

I believe that is the case in all states that have legalized it. Though, I could likely be proved wrong with a Google search, I just don't feel like checking each state.

If I drug tested, and DQed based on mary jane, I would be out of business in 6 months
