Standard Blood Test - I need help?
Standard Blood Test Prices - Pre and Post Cycle
Hey Y'all,
So I'm about to do my first cycle and I have been advised by by the experienced guys on this site to take a blood test before hand, only everyone recommends different tests. There must be a standard. Here are my stats:
Age: 31
Weight: 165
Height: 5' 9"
BF: 16-17%
Goal: BF to 12%-13%, weight up 10, maybe 15 lbs.
Here is my cycle:
Wk 1-12 350mg Test E
Wk 1-12 300mg Deca-Durabolin
Wk 10-15 50mg Winstrol daily
Wk 1-4 40mg Dianabol daily
Wk 1-20 2 to 3iu HGH 5on/2off
PCT = Arimidex/Nolvadex and Clomid/HCG
Below is a table of all the blood tests recommended on this site begin and the average prices they cost since my insurance does not cover them (many of us are in that boat). As I can figure, there is well over a grand here, and before and after I cycle??.
This many tests CAN'T be necessary, and am I missing any basic? May sound silly, but I just can't figure out what the hell I really need to get done to keep a good record of my pre steroid self.
Thank you thank you thank you.
