Bloodwork is not optional. It is the only way to know what is actually happening inside your body. Running AAS without monitoring your blood markers is flying blind.

When to test

Pre-cycle: Your baseline. Everything else is measured against this.
Mid-cycle (week 6 to 8): Check that your levels are where you expect and catch problems early.
Post-PCT (4 to 6 weeks after finishing PCT): Confirm your natural production has recovered.

What to test

Hormones

Total testosterone
Free testosterone
Estradiol (use the sensitive/LC-MS assay, not the standard immunoassay)
LH and FSH (pre-cycle and post-PCT, not mid-cycle since they will be suppressed)
SHBG
Prolactin (especially if running 19-nors like Deca or Tren)

Liver

ALT and AST (elevated values suggest liver stress, especially relevant with oral AAS)
GGT
Bilirubin

Cardiovascular

HDL and LDL cholesterol (AAS typically tank HDL and raise LDL)
Triglycerides
Hematocrit and hemoglobin (elevated hematocrit increases blood viscosity and stroke risk)

Other

Complete blood count (CBC)
Kidney function (creatinine, BUN, eGFR)
Fasting glucose and HbA1c (especially if running growth hormone or insulin)
PSA (prostate specific antigen, baseline and periodic)

Reading trends, not snapshots
A single blood test is a point in time. What matters is the trend across multiple tests. Your HDL dropping from 55 to 28 over 8 weeks tells a story. A single reading of 38 without context tells you much less.

Compare every result to your own baseline, not to the lab's reference range. Lab ranges describe the general population. Your pre-cycle values are what is normal for you.

If something looks significantly off, see a doctor. Bloodwork is a monitoring tool, not a substitute for medical advice.]]> Bloodwork for Lifters

Post-cycle therapy is how you help your body restart its own testosterone production after a cycle. Skipping it is not an option unless you are on TRT or blasting and cruising.

The common SERMs

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen): The most widely used PCT drug. Typical protocol: 20mg per day for 4 to 6 weeks. Stimulates LH and FSH release from the pituitary.
Clomid (Clomiphene): An alternative to Nolvadex. Typical protocol: 25 to 50mg per day for 4 to 6 weeks. Some users report more mood-related side effects with Clomid compared to Nolvadex.

You do not need to run both. Pick one. Most experienced users lean toward Nolvadex for its milder side effect profile.

Timing
When you start PCT depends on the ester you used:

Short esters (Propionate, Acetate): start PCT 3 to 5 days after your last injection
Medium esters (Enanthate, Cypionate): start PCT 14 to 18 days after your last injection
Long esters (Undecanoate, Decanoate): start PCT 21 to 28 days after your last injection

Medium esters (Enanthate, Cypionate): start PCT 14 to 18 days after your last injection
Long esters (Undecanoate, Decanoate): start PCT 21 to 28 days after your last injection

The idea is to let the exogenous hormone clear your system before you start stimulating natural production. Starting too early means the SERM competes with the remaining exogenous testosterone. Starting too late means you spend extra time in a suppressed state.

What recovery looks like
Energy and mood often dip in the first two weeks of PCT. Libido may drop. Strength in the gym may stall or decrease slightly. This is normal. Your body is recalibrating. It gets better. By week 4 to 6, most users feel close to baseline.

Post-PCT bloodwork
Get bloods 4 to 6 weeks after finishing PCT to confirm recovery. Compare LH, FSH, total testosterone and free testosterone to your pre-cycle baseline. If values are still significantly suppressed, consult a doctor. Read the bloodwork guide for what to test and how to interpret it.]]> <![CDATA[Your First Cycle]]> https://roidboard.to/thread-25.html Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:31:56 +0000 admin]]> https://roidboard.to/thread-25.html Your First Cycle
If you have never used AAS before, this is the guide to read before you do anything else. A first cycle should be simple, controlled and well-documented.

Testosterone only
Your first cycle should be testosterone and nothing else. No stacking, no orals alongside, no "just a little Deca." The reason is straightforward: if you run one compound, you know exactly what is causing any effect or side effect you experience. If you stack three compounds your first time, you learn nothing about how your body responds to any of them individually.

Dose and duration
Testosterone Enanthate or Cypionate at 300 to 500mg per week for 12 to 16 weeks is the standard recommendation. Pin twice per week to keep blood levels stable. There is no benefit to going higher on a first cycle. Your receptors are fresh. You will grow.

Ancillaries on hand
Have an aromatase inhibitor (Anastrozole or Aromasin) ready before you start. You may not need it, but if estrogen-related sides appear (bloating, sensitive nipples, mood swings), you want to be able to act immediately. Do not run an AI preemptively. Use it only if sides present.

Bloodwork
Get bloodwork done before you start. This gives you a baseline to compare everything against. Test at minimum: total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol (sensitive assay), LH, FSH, liver enzymes (ALT, AST), lipids (HDL, LDL, triglycerides), CBC with hematocrit. Get mid-cycle bloods around week 6 to 8 to check where your levels are.

PCT
Plan your post-cycle therapy before you take your first pin. Read the PCT guide. Knowing how you will recover is not optional.

Track everything
Consider running a cycle log here on the board. It keeps you accountable, gives you a record to look back on and helps others learn from your experience.

Training is the stimulus. Food is the raw material. Without the second part dialed in, the first part does not produce what it should. This is especially true when running a cycle, because your body's capacity to use nutrients is amplified.

Protein
The research is clear enough: 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day covers most lifters. On cycle, erring toward the higher end makes sense because protein synthesis is elevated. Spread it across 4 to 5 meals. Hitting your daily target matters more than meal timing, but spacing it out helps.

Calories
Bulking: a surplus of 300 to 500 calories above maintenance. Going higher just adds fat faster without meaningfully increasing muscle gain. Cutting: a deficit of 400 to 600 calories. Aggressive cuts risk muscle loss and feel miserable, especially on a calorie-restricted PCT.

Carbohydrates
Fuel for training. If your sessions suffer, you probably need more carbs, not more pre-workout. Prioritize complex sources around training and do not fear fruit.

Fats
Essential for hormone production, which matters even more when your endocrine system is under external influence. Do not drop below 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. Olive oil, nuts, fatty fish and eggs are your staples.

Hydration
AAS can increase hematocrit and blood viscosity. Drink more water than you think you need. Three to four liters per day is a reasonable baseline for a large, active person. More if you sweat heavily.

Meal prep reality
You do not need exotic food. Rice, chicken, ground beef, eggs, oats, vegetables and a protein shake cover 90% of what most lifters need. Consistency beats variety every single day.]]> Nutrition Fundamentals for Lifters

Your first post should include:

Stats: Age, height, weight, body fat estimate, years training
Cycle history: What you have run before (if anything) and how it went
Current cycle: Every compound, dose, frequency and duration
Ancillaries: AI, liver support, blood pressure meds, anything you are running alongside
PCT plan: What you will use, when you will start, how long you will run it
Pre-cycle bloodwork: Post the relevant markers (testosterone, estradiol, liver enzymes, lipids, CBC at minimum)
Goals: What you want out of this cycle specifically

Weekly updates
Post an update at least once a week. Cover: weight changes, strength progress, how you feel, any sides, diet adjustments. The more consistent you are, the more useful the log becomes.

After the cycle
Post your PCT experience, recovery bloodwork and an honest assessment of what worked and what you would change. This final post is often the most valuable part of the entire log.

Some situations require you to go from BTC to XMR. Maybe the exchange you use does not list Monero directly, or maybe you already hold Bitcoin and want to convert before paying a vendor. Here is how.

Why convert
Bitcoin is traceable. Every transaction lives on a public blockchain forever. Monero hides the sender, receiver and amount by default. Converting BTC to XMR before making a payment adds a layer of privacy that Bitcoin alone does not provide.

Step by step

Make sure you have a Monero wallet set up and ready to receive. See the crypto basics thread if you need help with this.
Go to a swap service. Popular options include Trocador, ChangeNow or MorphToken. These do not require accounts for most swap sizes.
Select BTC as the source currency and XMR as the destination.
Enter your Monero wallet address as the receiving address.
The service will show you a BTC deposit address. Send your Bitcoin there from your personal wallet (not from an exchange).
Wait for confirmations. BTC usually needs 1 to 3 confirmations before the swap starts. The whole process takes 15 to 45 minutes depending on network congestion.
Once complete, your XMR appears in your Monero wallet.

Where people slip up

Sending BTC from an exchange instead of a personal wallet. The exchange sees the swap service address and may flag or freeze your account.
Using the wrong network or address format. Double check everything.
Expecting instant results. Blockchain confirmations take time. Be patient.
Forgetting fees. The swap service takes a percentage, and both networks charge transaction fees. Factor this in when deciding how much to send.

If the swap seems stuck, check the service's status page or support. Most have a transaction tracker you can follow.]]> Converting Bitcoin to Monero

Most vendors accept cryptocurrency. If you have never used it before, this thread walks you through the essentials.

Why Monero (XMR)
Monero is the preferred payment method on this board because it is private by default. Bitcoin transactions are visible on a public ledger. Monero transactions are not. For buying AAS and related products, privacy matters.

Getting a wallet
You need a wallet to hold your coins. Options:

Desktop: The official Monero GUI wallet. Full featured, runs on your computer.
Mobile: Cake Wallet (iOS and Android). Convenient for smaller amounts.
Hardware: Ledger or Trezor. Best for storing larger amounts long term.

Desktop: The official Monero GUI wallet. Full featured, runs on your computer.
Mobile: Cake Wallet (iOS and Android). Convenient for smaller amounts.
Hardware: Ledger or Trezor. Best for storing larger amounts long term.

Buying crypto
Purchase Bitcoin or Monero on an exchange (Kraken, Coinbase, Binance or a local option). Complete identity verification there if required. Then withdraw your coins to your own wallet.

Important: never pay a vendor directly from an exchange. Exchanges log everything. Withdraw to your personal wallet first, then send payment from there.

If the vendor only accepts Bitcoin
You can convert BTC to XMR using a swap service. Check the BTC to XMR conversion guide for a walkthrough.

Confirm before sending
Always double check the wallet address before sending payment. Crypto transactions cannot be reversed. Copy and paste the address, then verify the first and last few characters match what the vendor gave you.]]> <![CDATA[Reading Lab Test Results]]> https://roidboard.to/thread-16.html Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:31:38 +0000 admin]]> https://roidboard.to/thread-16.html Understanding Lab Test Results

Lab testing is the most objective way to evaluate a product. If you have access to testing, or if you are reading someone else's results, here is what to look for.

What a quantitative test shows
A quant test measures the actual concentration of the active compound in a sample. The result tells you whether the product contains what the label says, and at what dose. A vial labeled "Testosterone Enanthate 250mg/ml" should come back close to 250. Underdosed means less than stated. Overdosed (rare but it happens) means more.

Contamination
Some labs also screen for contaminants or unexpected compounds. A test might show trace amounts of another steroid, which could mean shared equipment in production or actual product substitution. Either way, it matters.

How to read a result responsibly

One test is a data point, not a verdict. Production varies between batches.
Compare the result to the label claim, not to an ideal number.
Consider the lab's margin of error (usually noted in the report).
If multiple independent tests from different buyers show the same issue, that is a pattern.

Sharing results
When posting lab results, include the lab name, the date and what you sent in. Remove any personal identifiers from the report before uploading. This protects you and keeps the focus on the product.]]> Understanding Lab Test Results

A good review helps the next person make a better decision. A vague one helps nobody. Here is what makes a review useful.

What to cover

Product: What exactly did you use? Compound, brand, concentration.
Dose and duration: How much, how often, for how long.
Results: What changed? Strength, body composition, mood, recovery. Be honest about what you noticed and what you did not.
Side effects: Anything unexpected? How did you manage it?
Bloodwork: If you have pre and post bloods, share the relevant markers. This is the most objective data point you can offer.
Overall impression: Would you use it again? Would you recommend it?

Be honest
Negative reviews are just as valuable as positive ones. If a product was underdosed, if shipping took forever, if communication was poor, say so. The community depends on honest feedback.

Do not review products you have not actually used. Do not post reviews as favors. Staff will remove reviews that look fabricated.

When in doubt, General Discussion works for most things.]]> <![CDATA[What Is On Your Mind?]]> https://roidboard.to/thread-13.html Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:31:32 +0000 admin]]> https://roidboard.to/thread-13.html General Discussion
This is the open floor. Talk about what is on your mind, share something interesting, ask a question that does not fit neatly into another section.

A few pointers on what goes where:

Specific brand or product discussion belongs in Brand Reviews
Training programs, diet and supplement talk fits better in Training, Diet and Supplements
Source talk and vendor discussion stays in the country vendor sections
Crypto questions go to Crypto

Everything else? Post it here. Keep it respectful, keep it interesting, and do not be afraid to start a conversation nobody has started before.]]> General Discussion

New to Roidboard? Drop a post here and let people know who you are.

You do not have to share anything you are not comfortable with. But a short intro helps the community get a sense of who is around. Here are some things you might mention:

How long you have been training
Your experience with AAS, peptides or SARMs (if any)
Roughly where in Scandinavia you are based
What brought you here
What your current goals are

Keep it casual. There is no template. Some people write two sentences, some write two paragraphs. Both are fine.

One thing: read the board rules before you post anywhere else. It saves you from stepping on something by accident.

Looking forward to seeing who shows up.]]> Introductions
