SLEEP??

Damn, I can't sleep worth sh!@

Its takes me at least an hour to wind down in
bed before I can get to sleep.. To make matters
worse my woman falls asleep in 5 mins and then
i have to listen to her sleep..

But also make sure you have everything you need on hand before you start. Clomid, Nolvadex etc.

#2 blood tests. One pre cycle, one mid cycle, and one post cycle. If your liver values, HDL/LDL, or total cholesterol is putting your health at risk, go off the cycle. You'll also need to make sure that your natural hormone levels have restored and that your thyroid is functioning properly as well as other things... Blood tests are a must in ever cycle IMO.

I also agree with you Stew......I have mine checked every 8 weeks for my own sake and keep my records to show where the fluctuations are between, during and after a cycle and also to see the difference compared to when I'm not steadily working out.

 

[Stew Meat]

Have you graphed it?

I'd like to check out your levels and what you were using... If I had the time, I'd try to get a lot of blood tests from bros and compile them so we could have a look at an aproximate time that it takes to get HPTA back to normal and how different dossages and different gear affects it.

Another thing I think everyone should know before the take steriods is how to be mature and responsible. Just because you are taking steriods doesn't automatically mean you are the sickest bastard in the world. i've seen to many immature people take steriods for the wrong reasons and go around acting like meatheads. That is why we have all the bullshit stereotypes applyed to us all

Ok, I haven't used, though I may in the future....With that said, based on what I have seen discussed on this board and my research so far, I think one of the most important things is to determine the right roid for your needs. In other words, are you bulking, cutting, going for strength only, etc..
Like I said, I don't use nor do I claim to be an expert, just my two cents...
