    Just curious what is the way you protect your liver when you use your orals?And also how do you keep your BP normal while on cycle.

    The best way to protect the liver is to limit your use of orals and use a moderate dose. IME, there is a lot of hype around "liver protection" supps. A lot of newer guys think they are invincible because they are taking liv-52 or milk thistle. At the end of the day, oral steroids are powerful, methylated pharmaceuticals and there is no herb that will stop a major issue, if you are using enough to have a problem. I'm not saying to not use them lol! I'm just saying that the key is respect. reasonable doses and limited durations. Also, I always will preach the use of test as the base of your cycles. If you use test along with your oral, you can get a greater effect from a lower dose. I see guys taking 50mg dbol only for a first cycle, but if they ran 1 to 2cc test, they could get better results using 25mg. 

    So just because I don't think herbs will save you, doesn't mean I don't take them too. I use 1g milk thistle with orals or injects. Although injects aren't as hard on the liver, they still do create stress, especailly the shorter esters. Before and after a cycle, I will also use liv-52. 

     For BP, I use Norvasc when I need it. It keeps my BP at 110/70, even on a hard contest prep, using tren. Before you hop on BP meds though, consider your diet. Maintain a moderate amount of sodium and keep the sodium consistent every day. Big jumps in sodium, like if you eat clean and then go to a processed food meal, will make your fluid retention go way up. Also, the more water you drink, the less fluid you will hold. Water will flush the fluid and sodium from your body. I would drink at least a gallon through the day. And Steroids make you more sensitive to sodium. I'd also pay attention to your estrogen control. As I have said before, you don't want to take it too low, but controling it will keep you from looking like a water balloon!
