Blood testing before cycling

[Thickyo_29]

General question!!!!!

what type of blood work should a person get before starting a cycle? please give details please!

I know this question has probably been asked before, but not by me! thanks......

I'd more concerned about losing some weight and body fat if i were you.

But if you're thinking about getting boodwork done before you cycle, hopefully waaay down the road, ask for an aging blood panel with a sensitive estrogen assay.

Here's an example. Just depends on insurance or how much money you want to spend....

mickeyknox.. yes this just for research right now but I do need to lose about 50-60 pounds....but answer this question....why is it such a big deal about being a certain weight before cycling.....

Higher bf% usually means more estrogen sides. It also means your having difficulty dieting. If you can't diet then AAS are not for you.

Gymfu pretty much covered it. Higher body fat typically produces more unwanted side affects like bloating, acne, erectile dysfunction - not to mention heart attack, stroke.

Its extremely important to reduce you BF to around 15-16% for the above reasons. If you need help setting up a solid diet, head over to the Nutrition Forum for some ideas on diet plans and menus.

Good luck!

Not having a problem dieting...ive come down from 430 -280....thw problem is tht Ive never been a slim guy except as a child....I checked bmi calculator and it says my weight should be at around 220 lbs standing at 6'3"........my question will always be about get info....im not rushing....

[gymfu]

Cool, you have made some good progress. The leaner you get the harder it is the keep loosing bf. The BMI system is crap and doesn't account for any muscle weight which is good weight, right? All that really maters is your bf%

So what are your stats? Weight, hight, bf%?

430-280 Wow!!! congrats bro

430 - 280 is huge! That's some serious discipline. Keep it up and keep doing your research. If you ramp up your training as you reach a low BF % you should be primed for a cycle.

Gymfu..im 6'3" weight is 280....bmi is 35

Your body doesnt need that fast food garbage anyway.

Keep doing what you doing with nutrition and you will get there.
