Any weight trainer who is committed to heavy lifting will produce fantastic results regardless of whether he is using Steroids or not. I want us to focus on the liver which we know as being one of the most vital organs although as you know they all are for a bodybuilder in detoxification, various food conversion processes, growth and tissue repair.
The secretions assist in fat digestion, production of high density lipoprotein Cholestrol (HDL-C) and destruction of the arch enemy low density lipoprotein Cholestrol (LDL-C). Go figure, at rest our liver receives around 30% of the total blood supply, (have a good look at some next time your in the butchers).
Liver function tests do in fact detect enzyme levels (biological catalyst, for more info, do a biochemistry course). A bodybuilder's intense workouts will break down massive quantities of skeletal muscle cells (thats if you have been training properly).
Along with intra muscular injections this can make test results appear misleading. So just what information should we be giving to our Doctor in order to get the right medical advice for getting bigger muscles? These tests include several enzyme markers so let's go over the ones relevant to bodybuilders.
Each of the items listed below are parameters used in the measuring of a full blood hematology profile, and it is included here just to get a full understanding, but if the truth is known only a couple of these indexes are of any interest to bodybuilders.
Hemoglobin: This will focus on the quantity of the major blood protein of red blood cells and if the test results in a low count, it could mean anemia. This could be caused by an unbalanced diet and or deficiency in Vit B12 and folic acid. This can be easily remedied by eating iron packed liver or spinach.
Red cells: Now this is a strange one as it counts the number of red cells in a given quantity of blood. These blood cells are actually produced by our bone marrow and only survive for about 3 weeks, but alcohol is a player here and can cause macrocytosis. This means the cells become bigger which can cause serious problems when trying to pass through tiny capillaries.
HCT ratio PCV (haematocrit ratio, packed cell volume / MCH (average corpuscular hemoglobin / MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentrations) top the list in red blood cell indexes which provide us with concrete information about the shape and content of red blood cells.
ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) gives us an overall picture of a patient's health. If you are suffering any type of infection then you are likely to get a high rate due to possible medications that can affect the immune system. A high test rate can also be caused by certain inflammatory conditions.
The correct level of platelets is essential in the blood system for the purpose of allowing the blood to clot. If a low count is found then the possibility of bruising or excessive bleeding from a wound is likely to happen. This condition can also be enhanced by taking aspirin while in an ECA stack.
White cell count can indicate viral or bacterial infection as this test result would rise with an infection as white cells increase and produce antibodies to combat infection (this is also a good reason to have good muscle mass - where did you think the protein to synthesis antibodies came from?)
Every test that has come before are just run of the mill tests that will be explained to the patient by his GP in the consultancy, unless there should be something really serious revealed. But the results of the tests featured in part 2; although average for big beast body builders, will knock a GP for six if he isn't used to his patients looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
