When is the best time to get bloodwork?

[Metflex17]

I pin daily TRT normally, and currently in week 5 of a 10 week blast. I’d like to see where my lipids are at, as well as e2 now that I’m running primo for a few weeks.

With that said, since I inject daily, do I have to skip injections to get accurate bloodwork done? How many days? What’s typically done for those who pin daily?

Also, is it best to see where I’m at mid blast? End if blast? Wait until normalized back to trt dose?

Thanks guys!!!

Typically labs should be done prior to blast like a week prior, again at week 4 or 5 and week 4 after the blast while on cruise.

You can still pin daily (I do) just stop training 3 days prior to keep AST levels from elevating as the muscle releases AST under stress (training is stress). Also this assures creatinine levels are back to normal as they too will read higher if you train before lab draw.

Just get the bloodwork early in the morning, pin afterwards your regular dose/blast. Pinning afterwards will give you a good idea of where your trough is (current concentration after last injection of test).

It's a good idea to check mid-blast as well to ensure you don't have any issues creeping up (lipids/ C-reactive Protein/Cystatin-C). Totally optional but worth it to catch any potential issues that may cut your blast short.
