Ive done CT scan, on my heart and done numerous ECG, I never abused steroids ever, but I have used them over the years. My bloodwork is normal whilst on 200mg of test per week, But if i increase it to over 400 well definitely 600, my lipid profile changes mainly that my good cholesterol count comes down. I have always had bloodwork done and have only used orals pre contest for no more than 6 weeks at a time, during this 6 week period my good cholesterol would drop down significantly, In knowing this I never went high dose off season and only competed rarely, and never reached my potential as a bodybuilder as i thought it would harm my long term health.
I have a no score CT scan meaning no plaque build up in the arteries, this is only down to personal management there is no way in my opinion that guys can use high amounts of gear especially orals without a change in your cholesterol.
Bodybuilders mainly only ever get bloodwork done when off, your lipid profile would have returned to normal during this time, accelerated plaque build up in bodybuilders is linked to long term high dosage of anabolics and its negative reaction to good cholesterol whilst on, this is a fact, I believe the university of California has done a study on it somewhere, there is also a UK study that I have studied.
every individual respones would be different there will be guys who need more to get a negative reaction and guys who could use less. Just an opinion.
