Why does no one get echocardiograms?

Being unironic here.

I always hear about gear connoisseur get their bloods taken. That makes sense. But AAS's grow everything. Most popular PED users who died young show massive heart hypertrophy being either the cause or a factor in their deaths.

So I guess my question in, why is blood panel work the only metric for checking enhanced health? Most compounds beyond Test run the chance of organ hypertrophy. At minimum enhanced lifters should get an echo once a year to track heart (and even maybe liver and kidney) enlargements and tumors.

I hate to sound like a little bitch, but I just want my enhanced bros to get to lift big but not have to die young for it. Be able to get that warning to slow down or quit, not just drop dead at your peak.

And yeah, I'm natty. I've had cancer and chemo before, so my body is already wrecked and isn't worth the possible risks of PEDs. Also can trigger a relapse and if that happens, accelerated cancer growth.

Newish Crosstrek (2025) making occasional ticking sound. Anyone have this occur before?

Loving my Crosstrek Sport I got last year new, but the last month I’ve been having issues. Before I can get to the service shop this coming Tuesday, I was wondering if anyone else has had this specific issue? Even the car nerds in my life can’t pinpoint it.

Just like the title says, my car is making this weird sound that I can only describe as “the tick you hear when a coin is in the clothes dryer” sound. Video attached.

I have about 29k miles on it, so still under warranty on everything.

Edit: forgot to add, I think I may already have a transmission issue. When accelerating, breaking, and even coasting at 5-10mph. I notice a minor jerking. Like gear shifting improperly.
