For those of you on HRT/TRT or even just taking steroids, the doc says that once a year blood test are ok. I feel blood test every 3 months would be better. Say full panel 2 times per year. The other 2 what would you recommend? I was thinking of:

Total test
Free test
Estradiol
LDL Choolesterol

What do you say? of course blood pressure tested weekly although I usually low BP as a norm.

assuming you are training, cycling and competing, absolutely. 3 months is appropriate.

if for TRT/HRT and recreational person exercising, 6 months. over age 60, 6-12 months.

total T
Free T
Estradiol
HDL
LDL
Liver enzymes... especially as we get older while on.
