blood work from primo/var cycle

[RickRock13]

The female hormone panel always comes back in less than 24 hours for me too! They rock

I'm a bit confused though.. With running primo/var or any steroid for that matter, wouldn't your test serum read well above normal range even without the addition of testosterone??? I thought any exogenous androgen would show elevated T serum levels since all steroids are a derivative of testosterone

This was my thought initially as well, but apparently different AAS affects total test differently

yeah tren sends mine through the roof too.

I think DHT's are a bit different in the way they show up

Since different steroids can show up as testosterone, be it tren or primo, don't you think your blood result does not really give an accurate reading as far as testosterone level goes? What shows up as testosterone may be something similar to testosterone. It just reacts similarly as testosterone to the detecting agents in the blood test.

In that sense, your normal reading of testosterone level does not really mean your actual testosterone level is okay and testosterone is not needed for cycles.

As we all know, testosterone plays many roles in our body. Having a normal testosterone reading due to other chemical showing up as testosterone does not necessarily mean everything is good and dandy I would say.

I am sorry but I just want to point out what does not sound right to me. I always appreciate your knowledge and experience.

you just counter acted your point in your post..

first you said my bloods were not accurate then you made a point as to why based on my bloods A, B, and C. I could turn your concern around and say exactly what you said that testosterone can show up as something else which is why my levels aren't 1500+.. see what i'm saying?

keep in mind these bloods are 4 weeks into a cycle.. they aren't post cycle. the main reason I ran this was to show how healthy responsible steroid cycling is on the lipids and on the liver. also keep in mind I haven't injected testosterone for 3 years on any of my cycles and I'm the biggest, meanest, strongest I've ever been. so no you don't NEED to run test, but as I said in my original post it wouldn't hurt for me to run a small dose to add some kick to my cycle, but based on the pumps and strength I displayed today in the gym I would say its not even necessary

I appreciate you sharing the blood results. I agree with you that you showed how a responsible cycle is done and your lipids and liver readings are the prof.

I don't think I have counted my own points though. My main point is your testosterone reading is not accurate. And that leads to my humble opinion or conclusion that we don't know what your actual testosterone level is or weather running primo alone is perfectly okay without testosterone as base. That's all.

I now see your added info how you have the size and strength without test. I agree that proves your point, with personal experience. Once again, I appreciate what you did.

that's fine bro I want discussion and opinions/experiences.

that's why I started this thread. wish more guys would post up bloods to take a look, everyone can learn from these.

also having blood taken out like this is very healthy, just like getting an oil change.. everyone should get bloodwork atleast every 4 months
