Steroid Cycle Safety

[Trest2021]

Hi guys what do you guys do to stay safe during your cycles/blasts?

Here is what I currently do:

Regular blood work every 2-3 months
Liver protection supplements
Vitamins / minerals supplementation
Regular cardio 20+ mins of cardio 5/7 days a week
Check blood pressure weekly
Don’t run crazy cycles (my current cycle is 300 Test E and 300 Mast E)

Side note: I think there is a time and place for those crazy high cycles I’m just stating that for me who just wants to do lifestyle BB I don’t see a point.

Blood work every 2-3 months
Check blood pressure weekly
Multi/fish oil/immune support
Cardio for 10 minutes or so after workouts
Drink plenty of water
Eat good healthy food
Good sleep

Right now I’m running
500mg/wk Test C
0.5mg 2X weekly Anastrozole
250iu mon/wed/fri Pregnyl

I have a time and place where I run crazier cycles if I ever compete again I will.

Looks great, sleep is something I need to work on.
I would prefer to run higher test like you but I realized when I run mast I don’t have to take AI (sometimes I would have to take it but that’s probably 0.5mg of arimidex here and there)

Biggest things are cardio and insulin sensitivity. Get in more than 30min of cardio a day (5 days a week), just just 20.

As for insulin sensitivity:
When an AAS abusing athlete drops dead of a heart attack, I believe the thing that is the cause for at least a significant fraction of these types of sudden deaths is hyperkalemia. HGH and slin is more and more popular. Reckless cycles are still just as prevelant. So when you combine HGH & Slin, plus more than a gram of gear, plus orals with no cardio, and a huge caloric intake, you develop insulin resistance fast. Also cramping is common, and people say take taurine and potassium. Well, when you take Telsmarten and a beta blocker, both of those increase retention of potassium, blood levels rise. When you get insulin resistant, blood potassium levels rise. When you supplement potassium, blood levels rise. So now you are hyperkalemic as fuck due to the BP meds, plus the HGH induced insulin resistance, and you are supplementing potassium for your cramps, which is being caused by potassium not entering the muscle cell due to insulin resistance. You then unknowingly develop a fatal arrhythmia and boom your dead. I basically did all the above, minus dying, because I was able to put 2 and 2 together after I started getting chest pain at the end of my cycle. Got a blood test, and my potassium was 16% over the upper level a week after I stopped my cycle and stopped hgh.

Take ALA, and berberine on carbby days, bike your ass off.

If insulin sensitivity is in order, then Proactive BP meds use is advised. Sitting down at the end of the day, after work, relaxed, and THEN taking BP is not the most accurate reflection of your daily BP. Taking the minimum dose of Lisinopril or Telmisartan is smart unless it is truly making you hypotensive.

Fish oil, NAC, and TUDCA (when needed). And running some sr9009 to help improve lipids after an oral run. 2x a day dosing prevent plaque build up in arteries, rapidly improves lipids, and prevents heart remodeling.

I thought my 20 minutes of cardio was enough I’ll bump it up to 30 then, thanks for the informative read.

When would you say the best time and setting to check BP?

absolutely no diss nerco but at your cycle you SHOULDNT have to worry about anything. youre on a slightly high cruise. people will say that youre blasting but in the big picture youre cruising with the expectation of the mast. all love to necro but monitoring your bp, regardless of when you do it, as long as its at the same time, is fine. if it starts to raise at 3:00pm everytime you check it then you have a problem. health is wealth here and im not telling you to not be as cautious as you are but injectable AAS are safer than drinking on a daily basis. AAS abusers dont just pin 1 gram of tren and die that same day. its a prolong abuse on the body and we can be preventative to stop/reduce the side effects.

when you been doing this long enough youre going to learn that everyone else is an idiot besides the one person giving you advice. ask 10 people about a cycle and youre going to get 10 different answers. best thing to do is to do your own research, weigh the pro and cons and see if its worth it. Y.T. has a lot of great info, these forums have a lot of great info, but the biggest thing is dealing with 10 different answers constantly.

Blood pressure is reactive. Check it in the morning over a period of 7 days and take the average. Continue to monitor that number throughout the year. Numbers in the afternoon are mostly useless because Blood pressure is reactive ( slowly rises throughout the day and then begins to lower preparing for sleep/situational reactive).
