    What androgens raise HCT the most?

    So on my recent bulk of 500 test 200 primo and 10var preworkout, I ended up hitting 58% HCT. Kind of spooky, felt lethargic as hell. I definitely want to control it a bit better this time around. Have y’all noticed a trend with certain androgens raising HCT more than others? Maybe I try test...

    New here, newer to gear

    Hey y’all! I ran my first real cycle this past year. It was a 6 month bulk, and visually it seems I gained a bit of muscle (maybe less than expected, but that’s just my Instagram tainted body dysmorphia talking). I ran 500 test, 200 primo, and 10mg var pre workout. Felt freakin amazing. The only...

    Phlebotomy with regular hematocrit?

    I was wondering your guys opinions on if one should donate blood or have a therapeutic phlebotomy even if their hematocrit levels are normal (between 44-50). I know some guys get it done every 60-90 days regardless. What is the purpose of this?

    Hematocrit High after Phlebotomy

    My Hct was 51.8 4 weeks prior to blood donation. 4 weeks after donation it was 53.5! Seems odd. Now on the second blood draw I may have been a little dehydrated, because the day before I was so busy I hardly drank any water, and the morning of the blood draw only 2 cups of coffee. But still...

    What is "Normal" hematocrit?

    I know its usually up to 50 Hct to be considered normal. I ask because I couldnt get to my urologist this month so I had my Gastro doc (I was there anyway) check my Hct and it came back at 52.5. But his lab (not sure which) says normal range is up to 53. RBC was also normal.
