Male Panel blood test prior to cycle?

[viciousness]

My brothers best friend is dying to start a cycle without getting bloodwork done first.. I on the other hand and many people i know never had baseline bloodwork done before first cycle as we were 23-25 doing it so figured it wasnt necessary. This guy is 25 and I keep reccomending he get it done prior to his 1st cycle ever just to have as a record to see how he rebounds on pct compared to his levels.

Good idea or bad?

Not a good idea, an almost MANDATORY idea, especially not having a baseline.

Got the test done and his levels came back 315 and he's about to be 26 in one month!! I wonder if eligible for hrt? An opinions welcome

if he has crappy lifestyle choices then his test levels will be lower

most american males have low test levels (well lower than they should be) because of the crap we eat and the couch potato lifestyles we live.
