What are the best sites for 3rd party options when ordering blood work ? The VA won't run all the tests i want. I want to start running my own blood work.

im running 32mg daily of testosterone right now. I was running nandrolone 18mg daily up until september of last year, then dropped it.

Is there any sponsors on this site that do that ?
Appreciate it.

Hello eazy_, would you be able to comment on which tests from list above are strongly advised, going g on test c 250 + deca 200 for 12 weeks or so?
Looking for advice on needed tests vs just buying them all.
Help greatly appreciated.

I will be starting likely next week, planning get pre start set for baseline, then start test c for 5 weeks (thinking 300mg/wk maybe will split each week into two pins)..
Then after 5 weeks get labs again, then start test c at 400/ week, plus deca at 200mg/week once, all for another 4 to 5 weeks. Then reduce down to test c at 400, then 300 before ending cycle.

Again, thanks for any help with recommended test list for my gear. Take care.

What’s the overall length of your cycle. Deca is a really long ester and will take about 5wks to saturate. Not sure why you want to wait till week 5 to even add it? Doesn’t make any sense to run Deca only 4-5wks?
 
Last edited:
Was thinking run long, total maybe 16 was or so. Rnow was just putting this together, haven't started yet. Maybe next week.
So you say better to start deca earier. I wanted to start one, see how I feel, then add 2nd..
What would you suggest then. I think I got enough for a year if wanted to. Don't want to go super high on test, been many years since I been pining.
Was gonna start test at 300/wk, then up to maybe 400 or 450, and towards end taper down again.
With deca was going to stack after test, .

Le me know what you think would work well, to get benefit from both. Greatly appreciate help, show I know not that much anymore. Gladly listen to those who know more. Thanks.

It almost sounds like someone running their first cycle and trying to run Test and Deca. Although if it’s been many years since running a Test cycle and you are hesitant and want to play with the dose to see what works best for you then I suggest to drop the Deca all together and just run the Test for 12-16wks so you can dial yourself in and do your bloods to get your baseline with the Test at whatever dose you like.
Run the Deca your next cycle not this one. You will want to start the Deca from the very beginning and it’s common to run Test/Deca at a 2:1 dose. So if you like 400mg Test you use 200mg Deca in your cycle. I like my Deca cycles 15-20wks.

I think this course of action will be the best for your current goals to figure out where you like your Test dose. You can then build off of that. Most people like to add 1 new compound at a time to find out what they like, doses, sides, and bloodwork. This is the safe and conservative approach.

It’s good you are willing to take your time. Cycling is a bit more of a marathon and not a sprint. Be the tortoise he always wins in the stories I’ve heard growing up.
 
Yeah, Back in 90 I had gear and cycled few times. But it's been like 25 years? 30?
Any know-how I had was probably half baked. Imagine doing this without access to internet. Only books if you commit to walk to local library.
I want to take my time. Really focusing on how my muscles work, so my workouts are more meaningful.
Last year I was at 285, after years of neglect, wife, kids, job. Got ot test (had low t like low 200s). Felt better and walked off about 60 lbs doing 6mi/day or 10 cliks.
Then went back to gym. Now at 205. Trying to get the rest of that visceral fat gone.
10 to 15 I'll prolly be 15-17 bf but want start test c at doses higher than my doc was prescribing. So now have (well, about to arrive this week I hope) of deca200 and testc250, to see where i get sides, and what dose seems low enough to benefit me.
Yep, I'll be the turtle, but hoping to see results of my work in a couple years I hope.
Really thank you for info.
 
No worries man! Training, diet, and rest being on point will crush any amount of drugs. The drugs help with the recovery so you can increase frequency. Good luck!

How do I sort out what a good dose for me is of test c?
I assume looking for side effects, and abnormal & undesired blood results?
What should I target? Im a sponge for info.
Planning to do test c plus aromasin, reading about test aromatics effects.
Read up on dosage of aromasin, not clear what it should be for me, but I think I need to just start test c, then get blood work to see where my est sits at. Is that correct thinking? Won't be bad not taking aromasin for month or two? Don't want gyno here.

After all that, how do i decide if i add deca and how much?
Thank you again.
 
You can dial in your test dose based on finding your sweet spot where you don’t get any unwanted sides and decent blood work. Some things during cycle will be out of range and you can expect that for any cycle. But only bloodwork will tell you that part.

Start at 300mg wk and if you are feeling good go to 400mg then potentially up to 500mg. A common first Test cycle is 500mg per wk. You maybe want to start at 500mg and see what bloodwork tells you 5wks in or you can taper up if that feels more comfortable for you. I wouldn’t start anything below 300mg per wk tho.
No Aromasin during this 1st 5wks is preferable until you get your bloods on wk 5. Only then add in Aromasin as needed. You want the lowest possible dose to allow for some higher levels of E2 but not too high to cause gyno. On cycle when my E2 is between 60-80 Im ok but if I am anywhere above 80 I have to run a AI.

Still no Deca until next cycle. I’d do Test only on this one. Then next cycle when you know what test at what dose works for you now you can add a compound. Typical for Test/Deca to be ran at 2:1. I don’t mid running my Test at 500-750mg wk with Deca at 300-450mg wk. I definitely run Aromasin at 12.5mg 3Xs a week on the mid/high side. Lowers doses I can get away with 2Xs per week at 12.5mg Aromasin.
 
Super. I think I'll start 500, monitor for sides, get blood work 5wks in, go from there on atomasin, and test c changes.
Up to now my nutrition is <1500cal. Want to lose more fat still, but getting feedback i need to up cal to min 2k. Worry that will make me gain fat.
I don't feel hungry, would have to force 2k cal.
Protein at 150. Starting this testc, advise to increase cal to 2k? Again, I think my body's converting, I check body comp periodically and keep gaining muscle, keep losing fat, which is what I want. But if I up intake to 2k, worry it will stop fat loss even if muscle keeps growing. Thoughts? Thanks for all this info
 
building muscle while losing fat is extremely difficult unless you are using the right drugs like Tren.

You are probably seeing a recomp where you are losing BF and your muscles are hardening and you are seeing more of them giving a false sense of putting on muscle. That or you’re an anomaly.

If you are in a deficit expect to cut BF and if you are in an excess then expect to put on muscle and possibly a lil BF. Choose one. I’d say run your test for 10-12wk min while upping you cal intake to put on size. Then drop your dose down to 250-300mg wk for 6-8wks, drop cal and cut. 1 at a time brother!

Im liking this approach. Been researching duet/nutrition too. Will be easy to add protein/carbs, bit of fat too. That will upnmy cal intake to be at surplus. Then stay steady with that nutrition plus test. Then lower cal intake.

Thanks for advice my friend.

Im getting some results back already, still missing several markers though...
Reverse T3
Test total
Test free direct ms assay
Igf-1
Cystatin c
Estradiol e2
Growth hormone gh

Others are in.
Is there a place here that can help me understand these results better? Don't know what matters and what doesn't.

This will be my baseline set, while on test c as trt by my doctor at 200mg/mL every 2 weeks, my last shot was last monday.
