PH's effect on bloodwork

[cobain67]

I was just wondering, what would the a testosterone blood test show if you were to have it done on cycle? Would the levels be through the roof or really low? I am just curious, because my friend that I lift with is thinking of trying PHs, but is worried about how a testosterone panel would show on cycle. Thanks.

That depends on what you are taking.

say then, if you were taking 1-test, would it show as being high or low?

1-test is suppressive, so your testosterone levels would be really low. It is very anabolic, however, moreso than testosterone. Because it is suppressive, people take it with 4AD which converts to testosterone at a decently high rate. If you are on both 1-test and 4-ad your testosterone levels will be entirely from the 4AD, so they could be absurdly high if you were taking enough 4AD, but the rule of thumb is 2 parts 1-test to 3 parts 4AD.
