Do you plan to blast in old age (40+)?

[Papazorus]

43 here.
Just finished my 1st year on trt (neibido by nhs) and been "blasting " over 6months in a row with 100mg test p and 150mg tren a eod during 4months than reduced to 50mg test p and 50mg tren eod for 3 month.
Actually " crusing" all blood works came back clean so will blasting again anytime soon.
I like low dose of tren for crusing for wellbeing. I still try to put some mass while I am still able to manage physical efforts. I will probably stop blasting when my body can't handle anymore.

Next blast test and deca until may I think then tren until november

Is it possible to keep your bloodwork within the ranges known to be good?

Running steroids pretty much throws lipids all out of whack, and very slowly over time one is depositing plaque on the arteries.

And now everybody stays elevated for years on end, thinking there is no downside to running 200mg or more a week
or
gasp
250 test
200deca
anavar
and calling it TRT + or athlete TRT.

But, hey, if I am 30, I have low blood pressure, I do not think I am doing anything wrong, and I just never come off.

And I never run blood tests, or, if I do, I ignore that the LDL is high and the HDL is low. Because I know it will go back to how it was when I finally stop, some day. It's not doing harm on a daily basis right now, is it?

My cholesterol has been excellent on up to 500mg. The only time it is worse than pre-TRT/AAS is when I run Anavar and that drops everything including HDL. With injectables my total and LDL is lower than normal and my HDL is the same.

I agree with the sentiment, though, and I'd imagine some damage is happening irrespective of blood. It would be nice to know exactly how much.

IMO, sure, ongoing "abuse" will likely result in premature organ failure and/or shortened lifespan. What is "abuse?"

If I'm not delving in "abuse," but applying—for lack of a better term—"calculated logic" to my "approach", from blast to TRT, will that mitigate or eliminate detrimental or longterm effects?

With the amount of educating, monitoring, blood testing, and so on, I've embarked since starting with AAS, my attention to my health has developed exponentially. Supplements, medicines, activities, etc... all have evolved and progressed. Not a day goes by my health isn't "top-of-mind." I think many of us "approach" it this way.

If the "approach" is based on "calculated logic..." well-instituted, cautious, vigilant, and ultimately successful, couldn't one "maximize" their years in contrast?

Fuck man good for you. This hit home because my wife is going through similar shit since the twins. They removed her gal bladder and as it turns out, in like <1% of patients, replacement meds fail and its catastrophic for their digestion. So in her 20s she already had IBS, pelvic floor charlie horses and has to take about 10 meds a day and even then, about twice a year she has miserable emergency room level pain. More power to you for taking control.

Thank you for sharing that information with us. The subject isn't fun to discuss and we're way off the tread topic here already, however we can learn from each other's experience in a forum where information isn't edited by third party and that can be life changing.
As per my own case, I do not recall any of my doctors advising on checking blood markers that in their experience are unrelated to condition in question but were way off as discovered. It was a cookie-cutter approach according to their DSM as they operate in heavily regulated industry under the microscope of FDA, members of which have large stakes in prescription drug companies which support education in medical fields. Can't blame anyone for doing what they were taught.
As I found out for myself, when we start to move in new direction there's an excellent chance of new destination. Our minds are amazing tool that is underutilized as we confirm to established standards.
I wish you and your wife discover the truth for yourselves and share your experience. Blessings.
