cholesterol and TEST E cycle

[ladycandy]

Ok, tomorrow I start my 13 week 250mg every 5 days test e cycle. This will be my first cycle ever...

My only concern is that a year ago my cholesterol was...

total 211
hdl 45
ldl 139
C:HDL-C Ratio 4.7

a few days ago I had it retested and it is...

total 177
hdl 33
ldl 127
C:HDL-C Ration 5.4


I am 31, 6'2", 180lbs, looking for more muscle mass and strength... Should I be concerned with this cycle and my current cholesterol numbers?

Just watch your HDL in the future. Below 40 can be bad, in the 20's is definitely bad. Eat clean on this cycle and take something to improve your lipid profile. Also do cardio from time to time.

oh, i should add that the only thing that really changed over the last year is that I have been playing MUCH more basketball... probably 2-3 times a week, like 2-3 hours each time (nearly to over-exertion)... Could too strenuous of cardio have dropped the hdl?

Don't think so, it's most likely in the food you eat. As for the cardio, if you play so much basketball no need to add anymore cardio. Matter of fact cut some of that playing and concentrate on lifting and sleep
