    Blood work for first cycle. What to do? And how often?

    Guys,

    I am getting ready to start my first cycle in a couple of weeks. My cycle is in check, my diet is in check and so are my workouts. All I need to know is if these tests are enough or if I should be doing something else (got this from a previous post). I like to be on the safe side.

    Before you guys ask, I am 180 lbs, 31 years old (almost), about 10% body fat and over 12 years of lifting experience

    - Lipid Profile
    -Complete Blood Count w/ Differential
    -Estradiol, Sensitive
    -Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1)
    -Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
    -Testosterone (Free) , Serum (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration) With Total Testosterone
    -Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
    -Thyroid Profile

    I was thinking about doing it before the cycle, half-way through the cycle and 2 weeks after PCT to make sure all went down to normal. Should I be doing it differently?

    Also, are the AI's (liquid form) and PCT's sold in ar-r as effective as pill form? And, how legal is it to get these compounds off a domestic website?

    All your help is much appreciated...

    I would also have liver and kidney function checked, I think that's part of a full CBC.

    I recommend checking before, half way though, and six weeks post PCT.

    This cycling thing is no joke. It takes some serious research to get it done right...
