Do you donate blood at all?
Just curious.
The only possible side effect of steroids that ever really scared me was blood thickening.
No I do not and have not. I get blood work complete work up every 3 months and the only problem I have is a slightly raised Blood Pressure but, no more than A High BP Med has not completely taken care of. The man who educated me on Blasting and Cruising is by far the strongest and one of the freakiest lifters I have ever seen has been Blasting and Cruising for over 14 years never dropping below 500mg a week and has never donated blood or used any AI's.
His blood work every time and xrays of Liver (every 6 months) look perfectly fine.
He usually runs something along these lines which is what I am slowly working up to over the next 2 years:
12-16 weeks tries to time it to meet if he needs to extend to meet deadline he does.
1.5g Test E
750 Tren E
600 Deca
400 EQ
6-8 Week Cruise
500mg Test E
Nolva 40/40/40/40/20/20
Blast Off with the above again continue over and over.
If the blast coincides with a meet or strongman comp he adds 6 weeks out.
100mg of Dbol Daily
60mg of Halo
Day of Meet
300mg of Test Supension gets added as well.
So if you listen to what the general public says he should be dead. But I have had the privilege of talking to a handful of lifters that every one of you know off and see articles and videos every day of them are running enough gear that my friend above literally has said the words "Are you ****ing kidding me".
