Hey guys!
So I've been training for about 4-5 years and have for at-least the last 2 of them thought about "Going to the dark side" as i think most people who are into bodybuilding and weight training do at some point.
Ive been researching it vigorously for the last few years even though i said i would wait a few years before i touched anything its just great to read peoples experiences etc.. and it has become increasingly more interesting to me to the point where atleast once a day i have a thought about cycling or have been on the computer researching cycling or lurking on forums/reddit.
So i decided i would get some blood tests done just to get a picture of my general health before even thinking about taking that final plunge.
I will write down some of the more important test results associated with bodybuilding and aas use and if anything seems out of whack to you guys let me know. On a side note everything has come in within the reference ranges and looks like i am a picture of health according to docs.
23y/o Male, 5'10", 77kg (170lbs)
Total Test: 19 nmol/l (548 ng/dl)
SHBG: 43 nmol/l
Free Test: 0.3 mol/l (50 pg/ml)
TSH: 1.6 mIU/L
Serum Vitamin B12: 410 pmol/l
Serum Folate: 19.8 nmol/l
Cholesterol: 5.1 mmol/L

NOTE - This isn't the normal pre-cycle bloods so some tests needed for that purpose weren't done as i just asked my doc for a general health check including test, this is just me getting an idea of my general health before i go messing with it or think about messing with it. Cheers.
