My blood work results

[rado]

I've been on test(for nearly 10 months if not longer) of 250mgs E7 or E10D...it's usually closer to the ten day mark, but at times a week..whatever...I just make sure I pin minimum 3xs a month. I haven't been completely OFF in about 2.5yrs.

So for starters, my test is in the normal range of 713 on only 250mgs of test. Good stuff

My GH is 0.2, nothing alarming. We have a plan;

Because growth hormone is released in pulses, a single measurement of the blood level is not normally clinically useful. Therefore, testing for the suppression or stimulation of growth hormone release from the pituitary is usually done.

GH stimulation tests help to diagnose GH deficiency and hypopituitarism. For a stimulation test, a sample of blood is drawn after 10-12 hours of fasting. Then, under close medical supervision, a person is given an intravenous solution of a substance that normally stimulates the release of GH from the pituitary. Blood samples are then drawn at timed intervals and GH levels are tested in each to see if the pituitary gland was stimulated to produce the expected levels of GH. The most commonly used stimulant is arginine, but others include clonidine and glucagon. Since exercise normally causes an increase in GH, vigorous exercise may also be used as the stimulant for GH release.
GH suppression tests help to diagnose GH excess. For a suppression test, a sample of blood is drawn after 10-12 hours of fasting. A person is then given a standard glucose solution (usually 100 grams of glucose) to drink. Blood samples are drawn at timed intervals and tested for GH to see if the pituitary gland is sufficiently suppressed by the dose of glucose.

Ok that's covered. Now onto the good stuff:)

I have a family history of high cholesterol, I've posted many many times on my labs, and they are usually high or within a bare minimum of normal range. In the last 17yrs, twice has my cholesterol profiles been way under, not sure wtf I was/wasn't doing then lol.

Here are the numbers;

Chol-191
Trig-160
DHDL-43
LDL CHOL-116
CHOL/HDL RATIO-4.4

Blood Test-Guide on numbers

what makes me wonder is how my levels are NOT lower than those. I run at least 5 times if not 6 times a week. I run 4 to 6 miles at a pace of 7:30 sometimes 7. My resting heart rate is always good yet my cholesterol isn't always the best and not to forget either, my eating habits are pretty tight, so yeah.

posting in case some can't see image...again, nothing alarming but still good to see the different numbers considering different eating habits.

My Triglycerides were high and rightfully so; I eat tons of carbs, it's well documented and that is fine. What is even more interesting is that the last labs I had done, where my food intake was fats, pro and min carbs, well triglyceride numbers were way down. So not concerned at all but something to learn from on how I eat and what it does to my body.


The rest is pretty good...I will have another done in Feb and curious to see those results.

But for now...It's time to go back on some good shit:D

This is taken from my wrist since I wear a garmin vivofit...and this is my hear rate during the day as I'm active with work, not working out...but simply being at the office.

Triglycerides are high. If you want to get those back into range cut out the fructose, which means cut out the fruit and any fruit juice. They will go below 100 after doing this for a month or two.

Rado, we've discussed this fallacy of "Natural Sugars in Fruit are good for you" and your blood work proves it with the super high Triglycerides. You can fix this. Some reading material for you:

How Fructose Turns ON Your “Fat Switch”

The research clearly demonstrates that even if you control the number of calories you eat, if those calories come from fructose, you are at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, or prediabetes, which includes:

Insulin resistance
Fatty liver
High blood pressure
High triglycerides
Conventional thinking tells us that metabolic syndrome is the outcome of obesity, which is simply the result of eating too many calories and not exercising enough. The idea that this is incorrect continues to be met with great resistance.

However, Dr. Johnson's research shows that a high fructose diet is the key to developing metabolic syndrome, and as soon as you throw fructose into the mix, "calories in versus calories out" is no longer a functional equation...

"One group of animals is getting a number of calories that an animal would normally eat, but it's high in fructose. Another group will get the same amount of food – exactly the same amount of food, but with a different carbohydrate, like glucose.

It's the fructose-fed rats that develop metabolic syndrome. Suddenly they get fatty liver. They get visceral fat. Their blood pressure goes up. Their triglycerides are high. They actually develop all these features, whereas the glucose-fed rats don't—and they're eating the same number of calories!

will take down tomorrow, the lab work...just don't want my flickr with this nonsense on it.

i'll just add them as attachment

low gh levels and normal test levels. get on some shit.

low gh levels and normal test levels. get on some shit.

low gh levels? well of course, but then again i could of done a few tests through the day and would of had a different number bro...test is ok for being on just trt dosage.

yea im jumping on 2 other things, not sure what yet. :)

[Bouncer]

Your gh levels are very low. Like none existent. At no point in the day should they be so low.

Get on some mk-677 or HGH.

and why's that? so had they been at 1.0 then what? not being argumentative here. I may not know about GH but know enough that it's NOT that number all the time. Regardless, I will look at previous ones tonight to compare since i've done them at diff times of the day.

[Bouncer]

Bro your at 0.2 lol. Reference is 4.0-7.0 for normal men who don't workout or anything. An athlete/lifter should be above average as physical activity increases gh levels. Testosterone also increases gh levels. Your gh levels are way low for some reason.

I'm 41yrs young:D

We will see the diff when I increase test but going to check all the other labs...

Mk 677 if your too cheap for gh

[rado]

Mk 677 if your too cheap for gh

With that price nah bro...it is cheap but the concern for me is the proper timing of carbs etc....seems easy since you've done it. I like to just pin at night and be done...last thing I want to do is become insulin resistance or just fucking with it, ironic I know considering gear can mess me up as well. But I find the risk vs reward is far more appealing with gear. For me that is...up until recent, I couldn't justify price, I can now....just don't feel ready yet for GH, that's all....i like my gear and how I do it.

Trust me, if I knew someone here who I train with doing GH, then I'd start, but don't.

uploaded...taken off flickr, don't want that shit on her food log
