Guide to Steroids – Bloodwork, Risks, and Effective Cycles

[Arsene]

1/ Introduction
Starting steroids is not a decision to take lightly. Many jump in thinking, "I'll transform my body!" without understanding the risks.
Steroids can wreck your health if misused. The first rule? Be prepared with the right bloodwork and an understanding of side effects.

---

2/ Bloodwork Essentials
Before anything, a full blood panel is mandatory. This gives a baseline of your health and ensures certain steroids aren’t contraindicated for you.


Here’s what to check:

• Liver: ALAT, ASAT, bilirubin, albumin.
• Kidneys: Creatinine, urea.
• Lipids: Cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL), triglycerides.
• Hormones: Free testosterone, estradiol, prolactin, SHBG, LH, FSH.
• Thyroid: TSH, FT3, FT4.

Don't skip this. It’s non-negotiable.

3/ Common Side Effects and Fixes


Impotence During/After Cycle
Some steroids (especially 19-nors like Trenbolone or Deca) can kill libido during and after the cycle.


Fixes:

• Temporary relief: Viagra, Cialis, etc.
• Maintain testicular activity with HCG during the cycle.
• Lower your steroid/testosterone dosage.

Testicular Atrophy
HPTA shutdown leads to shrinking testicles during cycles.


Fix:

• Use HCG at 250–500 IU, twice weekly, starting from week 3.

---

4/ More Side Effects


High Blood Pressure/Water Retention
Linked to diet, steroid dosage, and hematocrit levels.


Fixes:

• Hydration: Drink more water to support kidney function.
• Supplements: Magnesium (600mg/day) and Vitamin B6 (100–200mg/day).
• Severe cases? Consult a doctor for blood pressure meds.

Liver Damage
Liver toxicity is a silent killer, especially with alkylated oral steroids.


Fixes:

• NAC, milk thistle (silymarin), alpha-lipoic acid.
• Vitamin C, Vitamin E, glutamine, and Desmodium EPS (as needed for severe cases).

---

5/ Hormonal Imbalances


Gyno (Gynecomastia)
Elevated estrogen/prolactin causes gland enlargement and fat gain.


Fixes:

• AIs (e.g., Aromasin, Arimidex) to lower estrogen.
• Dostinex (Cabergoline) for prolactin (0.5mg weekly).
• DHT creams for gland reduction (doctor-supervised).

Prostate Enlargement
Caused by high aromatizing steroids (testosterone, oxymetholone).


Fixes:

• Proscar (doctor-prescribed).
• Saw Palmetto (not fully proven).

---

6/ Cosmetic Side Effects


Hair Loss
Accelerated by high DHT conversion (Test, Tren, etc.).


Fixes:

• Finasteride (Propecia) for sensitive users.
• Specialized shampoos (e.g., ketoconazole).

Acne and Skin Issues
Fluctuating hormones lead to acne breakouts.


Fixes:

• Accutane (medical supervision required).

Stress/Insomnia
Elevated cortisol or overstimulation from some compounds.


Fixes:

• Melatonin (1–3mg before bed).
• 5-HTP, valerian root, or medical-grade sleep aids.

7/ Are You Ready for Steroids?


Steroids are not for everyone.
Ask yourself:

• Have you trained for years with consistent effort and results?
• Are your diet and lifestyle in check?
• Are your blood tests flawless?

If you answered “no” to any of these, stay natural until you’re ready.


Examples:
"Kevin, 19, training for 3 months to impress girls. Eats fast food daily."
→ Steroids would only harm your still-developing endocrine system. Focus on proper training and diet.


"Idriss, 26, training seriously for 5+ years, planning to compete in bodybuilding."
→ Idriss is a good candidate. For beginners, start light—e.g., testosterone-only cycles with proper PCT.

---

8/ Steroid Cycle Basics


Here’s how to structure cycles for different goals:


Beginner Cycle (Lean Mass)

• Weeks 1–10: 500mg Testosterone Enanthate weekly.
• Week 3 onward: 250 IU HCG twice a week.
• Bloodwork: Pre-cycle, mid-cycle, post-PCT.
• PCT: HCG, Clomid, Nolvadex starting week 13.

Advanced Bulk Cycle

• Weeks 1–10: 750mg Testosterone + 600mg Equipoise.
• Weeks 1–6: Anapolon (50→150mg daily, taper down after week 4).
• HCG and AIs as needed.
• PCT starts week 13.

Advanced Cutting Cycle

• Weeks 1–8:
  • 100mg Test Propionate daily.
  • 75mg Trenbolone Acetate daily.
  • 50mg Winstrol daily.
• Bloodwork: Week 4, post-PCT.
• PCT starts week 11.

---

9/ Final Thoughts


Steroids are a serious commitment. Misuse can lead to permanent damage. Always:

• Conduct bloodwork before, during, and after.
• Use proper PCT protocols (HCG, Nolvadex, etc.).
• Monitor health constantly—your body is irreplaceable.

Your health is like your virginity—you only lose it once.

Stay safe.
