My blood tests showed all normal liver values but cholesterol was all abnormal, too little good chol and too much bad chol, and I was not taking a high dose of AAS.
this could have been from arnie-boy leading his competitors down the wrong path back in the day. I remember a story about him saying huge quantities of salt was his secret to muscle mass. Within a week every schmo at Gold's gym was eating salt by the handful lol.
They had test but didn't usually use it. A lot of guys went on deca + dbol cycles, or primo + dbol. All the things we know now weren't available back then.
