Preparing for the first cycle
Hi!
I'm planning to start my first cycle in the near future and I need some advice. First, some info about me:
- Age: 31
- Height: 5" 10 (178 cm)
- Weight: 174 lbs (79kg).
- Body Fat: around 11-12%
- Experience: I have been lifting constantly in the last 3 years. I tried very hard but I'm not able to break the plateau... I think you know the story. That's why I'm planning to use steroids.
- Training: usually 5-6 times a week.
- Diet: It's based on a 40-40-20 approach. I eat very clean most of the time. I try to get over 200g of protein each day.
I want to do a basic first cycle, testosterone only (I will post it here for review once I will have it). I'm still working on my diet and my training plan for the cycle. Now I'm concerned about two thinks: the blood work and how to find a good source of steroids.
The blood work
For the blood work I understand that I need the following tests:
- Male hormone panel: Testosterone, Free Androgen Index, LH/FSH, DHEA/DHEAS, Estradiol, IGF -1, Prolactin
- Full Thyroid Panel: Thyroid stimulating hormone, T4/Free T4, T3/Free T3
- Full cardiovascular profile: Total Cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, HDL, Trigelycerides, homocysteine, C reaction protein
- Liver enzymes: Alkaline phosphate, GGT, SGOT, SGPT, PSA
- Kidney values: Serum Creatine (Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Urine Protein, Microalbuminuria, Urine Creatinine, Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio, Serum Albumin
I have a few questions:
1. Do I need any other tests besides these ones?
2. Are these tests covered by a medical insurance? (maybe this answer depends on the insurance)
3. How do I tell my doctor that I need to do these tests? Can I just say that I have low testosterone symptoms and ask him to do these tests? (probably you get this question a lot but I'm still not able to find a good answer)
Good source of steroids
I know that on this forum it is not allowed to ask or post any source of steroids. However, I have to find a legit source of steroids but I'm not sure how. I live in Washington state and I think in USA it is not a big problem to find legit steroids. I tried to ask a "big" guy at my gym about steroids and he was very offended, although he seemed to be a nice guy. It is not a good idea to ask someone you don't know about steroids. After all, they are illegal.
What I need is an advice about how to start looking for a legit source of steroids. What I need is Testosterone C or E and also HCG, Arimidex, Nolva and Clomid.
I appreciate very much any answer and advice. Thanks!
