Looking for assistance with correcting cholesterol while on cycle

[Big Mac]

Hey all,

It seems my LDL/HDL profile is in the shitter!
Got my cholesterol checked by my GP and the LDL/HDL numbers are ugly:

Cholesterol: 211
HDL: 25
LDL: 163
Triglycerides: 116

Now my Doc wants me to go on Lipitor. Don't like the look of those sides!

I've been running gear for the past 3 years. 8-12 weeks on, 4-6 off.
I'm 56 years old, 6'6", 280 lbs.

Currently running:

Tren 80 eod
Mast 100 eod
Sust 100 eod

Looking for suggestions on raising HDL, lowering LDL while on my cycle.
I just started this run 3 weeks ago. Don't want to back off if I can avoid it.

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks

look into Red Yeast Rice . I've not tried it personally, just what I've heard

 

[Big Mac]

Thanks Gearheaded!

I ordered some RYR pills. I have also read they help. I guess they need a fat for absorption so I will take with my Omega3s.
I'll post results in a month or 2.

My total # is much lower total in range for me.
My HDL range between 20-30.
My Dr says mine are great!!

HDL have really no proof as being good for u!!
They are a hallmark of metabolic syndrome and then with that it is dangerous!!!

This is good practice I use everyday!!
3000 mg fish oil
1000mg to 2000mg Garlic
100-200mg COq10
Vit b6 100mg
Vit b complex
Triple strength joint supplement (the sulfer inside has lots of detox benifits)
Milk thistle 200-400mg
NAC 600-1200mg a day
Think that covers it!!!
Be sure u getting all minerals thru diet!!

Red yeast rice lowers LDL but needs coq10
With it!! But this should be used with caution!!!


I been running
Tren a 100mg everyday
Mast prop 150mg everyday
Test prop 100 now 50 everyday
Primo e 75mg everyday

Proviron 100mg everyday
Nolva 10mg everyday

Ai's mostly adex .5 mg @2×wk
But aromasin for now at 6.25mg a day

Anavar 50mg prework

T3/t4 50mcg of each every morning
Hgh generic blue tops 5iu a day

Just started halo at only 5mg pre workout will go up. STRENGTH HOLY ST8T!!!

I will cruise soon do bloods mid Jan!!!
I am usually good staying on 5 months coming off 4 weeks before bloods!!!

This is great Muscle mechanic!

I didn't know that about coq10. Will read up on the cautions. Will also be adding Triple strength joint supplement, Milk thistle, and NAC. Already on the rest.

Got me thinking about halo now too!

Thanks very much for the detailed info!!

Red yeast will rid too much of natural COq10
All old people on cholesterol meds buying coq10
Red yeast rice is given as script in places
Maybe not as racermic but...is a med

Ok. Im on it! Just placed my order for your daily regimen. I'm one of those old people!

Do you have a brand of Halo you recommend?

Thanks again!

 

[PUMPED]

might be your diet bro! light bulb!

Try Cardarine with your cycle or off it. Helps tackle the cholestrol problem of most aas. Liv52 ED is also a good maintenance dose.

Cholesterol: 211

Your numbers dont look too bad at all. At age 56, I take it you had them checked in the past? Dr.s are quick to throw people on statins.
Try your natty stack that some here have mentioned and go get re-tested in 12 weeks before jumping on the Meds. (IMO).

My total was 142.
HDL 22
LDL 109.4
Triglycerides 53

My Dr told me these were BEAUTIFUL LIPIDS!!!!
But mine are not same as yours.

U need to do Cardio and change diet!!
Then see where u are in 8 weeks.

Consider using more test, deca, Eq, nolva as Ai!!!

The more Androgenic the worse on lipids.
But our life style, diet, and level of cardio make big difference!!!

Something that clear our arteries is MAKING OUR HEART PUMP BLOOD AT A HIGH RATE!!!

It doesn't matter if u running or D.C. Training with weights!!!

It's like a stream it's banks with slow current always
Compared to one that gets a rush of fast flow everyday!!!!

I had the same thing happen to me a while back. Ldl was way high & hdl was way low. Strong doses of niacin will help lower ldl cholesterol & was actually recommended by my dr. Also, start taking olive oil a couple times a day & it should improve your good cholesterol. Obviously, if you have a shit diet, than it won't do a lot of good & you'll probably end up on meds anyway. That will be my next step too, if I don't get mine lined out.

 

[Big Beef]

& btw, the niacin shouldn't drop ldl considerably, but it helps. It also helps raise hdl & can lower triglycerides. Hope this helps.

I was involved in a cholesterol investigative drug trial. I had no plan on taking the drug they had. I only wanted the free blood tests. Prior to beginning the trial they had me sign a contract. I read the contract and noticed it said not to take any flaxseed oil during the trial. To me this was very suspicious. So I went and bought some flaxseed oil. . So in 3 weeks after taking the flaxseed oil my cholesterol went down 100 points to 180 and they threw me out of the study. I did not pay attention to the exact amounts I took. I just kept a flaxseed oil bottle in the fridge and just took a swig of it every night. I tell my Doctor the cholesterol hypothesis is a bunch of crap and not to even test me for it. I refuse to pay for their bullshit tests. Lipitor is the highest grossing drug of all time, it has produced over 120 billion in profit for these jackasses.

By the way. I made no other adjustments to my diet whatsoever, I just added the flaxseed oil.

 

[Big Mac]

Getting a great education here! Thanks Big Beef & mkdk!

My diet is pretty clean. I track all my food intake, eat low carb, gluten free, and relatively high protein.

 

[Big Mac]

Muscle Mechanic, Those ARE great numbers!

My cardio is fairly solid (IMO). At 6'6", 280 running tears my knees up. Unfortunately knee replacements are in my future. So, I alternate between sled drags, pushing prowler & tire flips. Sled and Prowler I keep weights in 400lbs range. Total time on these is 20-30 minutes 4 days a week. They all gas me pretty good!

Diet is pretty good. Again, IMO. Not at competition level by any means. But, I measure, log, and track everything I consume. I try to stay at 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fats. I stay away from complex carbs and processed food. I eat 3000 cal per day.
That said, I am redoubling my efforts and will stay super strict for as long as needed to get my numbers corrected. I have also started IFing 2-3 days per week which I understand will help lower insulin and LDL.

Anyway, You all have a much better base of knowledge then me. I'm just an old knuckle dragger trying to keep pushing the weights. I very much appreciate the comments and suggestions from everyone.

I hear ya, Pumped! Always a big part of the battle!!

This is very interesting. I have read that flaxseed oil has numerous benefits; is an excellent source of fat.
