I’m asking if a workout what affect one’s blood work, and I don’t specifically mean with regard to trt or h r t. I just mean, would a normal work out, nothing super strenuous, affect your blood work in such a way where it might give skewed results? I realize that this might be a strange question, but it’s something that occurred to me recently.
Yes.
Different organ values get higher and stay there for days after a good training session OR if you train regulary they just never go down to normal.
AST/ALT, creatinine will be higher for people who train. Creatine Kinase can even jump into thousands.
Your T levels can drop after a heavier day, for example.
These are just the ones i have done and looked up. I am sure most of the stuff gets screwy once you do things that a human body was not ment to do(heavy lifting, fighting, etc).
But thats ok, because bloodwork is a bit overvalued. Yes, you can see some T levels, control your e2, prolactin, or in case of stupidity called PCT, you can see how you are recovering etc.
But in most cases, the stuff that gets screwed in bloodwork is not worth much anyways. If you care about your liver or kidneys, or heart or lungs - you should just go and check them directly.
There is little point to obsess about lipids, for example, if you never go and check your arteries.
Organs and arteries can be fucked even if your bloodwork is ok, and they also can be fine if there is something off in bloodwork.
My grandmother has 3 times the norm of bad cholesterol her whole life and she is skinny and turns 80 after a few months.
Bloodwork is the first small step in knowing what is going on, but relying on it is almost the same as NOT doing it.
Because doing it does not solve the problem. Most people just go do it and see that something is off and thats it. They just leave it there.
Doing bloodwork has become a symbol of “me caring about my health when on steroids” but in reality just the fact that you see some numbers does not change shit. We go see our bloodwork on a blast and we just go on and continue our blast. Yes, the stuff gets back to normal on a cruise, but did anyone checks out the actual damage?
So a guy does 6 months of a cycle and walks around with shit lipids. They go back to normal on a cruise and he thinks he is healthy. Is he? How about the damage done in those 6 months? His artheries might clogged already.
Basically, bloodwork is like the smallest little thing you can do. If something is screwey just check out the problem directly. Nowdays they can actually see all your organs and measure them and actually look at them working or not working etc.
Bloodwork does not do shit. Its bad on a blast, its better on a cruise - so what? Thats what its supposed to look like. It says nothing about your actual health.
