What medical tests should bodybuilders be regularly getting?

Ive got a firend whos is a doctor (GP), he doesnt know about steroids, because the term GP stems from "General Practitioner" so he has a general knowledge of all things medical, were as an endocrinologists specialisers in hormones and hormone secreting glands

You should get regular blood work done after cycles to see how low your test levels are, but i would tell the doc what youve been taking

dont tell the doc unless you can get him to agree that what you tell him will be strictly off the record!. there is no reason to tell your doc unless there is a real problem with your health, as your only going for tests there is no reason to complicate things.

as long as the anabolics arnt a controlled substance you should be alright to tell the doc.

Yep, superdrol is a very powerful steroid. Forget the 'but its legal' lark. Prohormones = less gains, more sides (liver, cholesterol especially)
