Guides for blood count testing

What blood tests do bodybuilders track?
The blood tests most often discussed in bodybuilding and strength communities fall into four groups: hormones (total and free testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, LH and FSH), general health panels (CBC and CMP), heart and metabolic markers (lipid panel, ApoB, A1c, fasting insulin), and thyroid, iron and vitamin markers. Hard training changes some of these numbers by itself, which matters when comparing results over time.
What Are the 5 Common Baseline Lab Tests?
Five blood tests are frequently described as a general "baseline" health check: a complete blood count (CBC), a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), a lipid panel, hemoglobin A1c, and a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test. Together they survey blood cells, organ chemistry, cholesterol, blood sugar, and thyroid function. This article explains what each one measures. It is educational and not a recommendation about your own care.
How to Order Your Own Blood Work Without a Doctor
You can order most routine blood tests online without seeing a doctor first. The ordering service has a physician sign the lab order for you, you have blood drawn at a Quest or LabCorp location, and the results come straight to you. New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island are the states these services most often exclude.
