I run naturally high hct. How much does this influence any use?
Does any intervention help keep this kind of stuff under control?
Would 500 test do enough to really mess with hematocrit? What about 250?
Use will general increase that number. Some drugs will be a lot worse than others. Anadrol and EQ, for example.
Donate blood after cycle. Drink plenty of water.
You will have to experiment to know that answer. Everyone responds differently.
For me test does not fck that up too much. I was in normal ranges of all the blood thicknes markers up to 1g of test.
400 test and 700 EQ and all those markers went to shit. But then again, it all depends on how you feel it - i dont. If its like + 10-25% over the normal, i believe it is ok. Drink water, take some aspirin if needed. I really dont feel any different than when those markers were in normal range.
If you get headaches and you turn red when training - might need to look into that, but if you feel good, then the fact that something is a bit over the norm, might not be a problem… remember that if you take test over the norm, it is ok that some other markers will go over the norm also. If you want clean bloodwork and 0 risks at all, why would you even consider steroids?
EDIT - if you are very scared about these markers going up, dont do steroids at all. Remember, that 250 test wont make much difference unless you are natty and 40+. And even if you are - you will just feel a bit better maybe, but its not like 250 or 500 test will make you into a monster. Unless you have Lee Priest genetics, most people wont tell the difference, and if you do have Lee Priest genetics, you already look better natty, than anyone of us will look on any cycle.
So if you are afraid of sides from 500 test, just dont do it, because test alone wont do as much as you think it will. You will have to add more stuff and be on stuff for years to actually look like you use something. I think steroids are worth only if you make money somehow from it, or it is you passion and a way of life, in which case you wouldnt even take bloodwork into consideration anyways.

HCT went from 51 to 59 over 42 months on trt. No matter how low I dosed it I could not get the number to stop climbing. The only thing that helped was not taking testosterone. And FYI, donate blood because you want to help people. Otherwise it’s not buying you more than a few weeks of lower HCT if you’re still using the thing that causes it to go up. In other words, the variable that creates the problem—testosterone—has to go away in order to get that number back down. If you donate mid cycle then you’ll be right back to where you were a few weeks later. It’s not a permanent solution.

Right. I’m more in it for the motivation and lifestyle affects than trying to look like an IFBB pro.
To work as hard as I like.
Sorry man, but i think that “motivation” should not be injected.
You can fix your lifestyle with diet, exercise, water, joga and affirmations or religion, learn to meditate, take a trip to India or whatever.
If you need to inject shit into your ass to be MOTIVATED to do anything, maybe you really shouldnt do the thing in the first place? I mean, fat girl doesnt need a motivation to eat cake because she really wants the cake, right? Just find things you like without injecting harmful and illegal drugs into your ass.
