The Big Benefits of Cialis for Bodybuilding
b0eeb6d7de3ad8b08f1b5ffcad166216.jpg


When a lot of guys think of a drug like Cialis, the first thing that comes to mind is trouble getting an erection.
They probably think it’s some pill that is made for old men or guys with erectile dysfunction.
This is probably a thought that would come to mind even quicker if they saw it advertised in a fitness magazine.
I can see where it’d be easy to think “yea they advertise Cialis here because all of these guys who use steroids can’t get their dick hard anymore”.
Cialis (Tadalifil) has HUGE, HUGE benefits for the aging male, and especially the aging male who is into hormone replacement and bodybuilding!!
For starters, Cialis works by increasing blood flow throughout the body. This IS NOT just in the penis and strictly a sexual deal here.
Cialis improves blood flow everywhere!!
This makes it heart healthy and the best analogy I could give would be like replacing your air filter every time it gets dirty. This improved blood flow effects many tissues, including the brain.
With improved blood flow comes better pumps in the gym as well. Cialis is a highly underrated addition to any bodybuilding regimen when it comes to nutrient transport and cell volumization!!
Cialis reduces inflammation in the body.
Inflammation is something that bodybuilders constantly deal with due to muscle cell damage and stress.
It has been proven through studies that our measure of inflammation (C-reactive protein measure) drastically improves when taking Cialis, and this is most largely due to Cialis preventing plaque buildup in our arteries. This process reduces risks of cardiovascular disease in a major way!!
Cialis improves testosterone:estrogen ratio.
Cialis improves the testosterone:estrogen ratio by up to 30%. That improvement is definitely beneficial to the aging male and certainly beneficial to those on testosterone replacement therapy.
As some of you may know, long term testosterone administration can cause increases in estrogen balance as well, which is why those using test for replacement usually go on arimadex too. You may find that you can get by on less arimadex when you’re using Cialis. Along with the improved balance of test:estrogen comes an increased testosterone level as well!!
What else does Cialis do?
Well, let’s get into improved blood pressure next. Taking Cialis fights hypertension and can definitely benefit someone with high blood pressure or someone who has normal blood pressure but wants to make it even better. This is yet another huge benefit of using Cialis while on testosterone or any other steroid that can cause BP elevation.
A big fear of prescribing testosterone to patients is increased risk of prostate enlargement. Cialis reduces these risks by relaxing the smooth muscles of the prostate upon regular administration. This is primarily how it works as a sexual drug as well.
Another benefit of Cialis (and definitely a benefit I experience) –*it almost acts like an anti-depressant.
I just feel better when I’m on it and before I read about this benefit I was questioning it myself, because it seemed like I was always in a better mood when I was using Cialis.
So as you see, Cialis is so much more than just a sexual performance drug!! When I got on it daily the first thing I thought was “holy shit, why aren’t more bodybuilders talking about Cialis in their cycles?”
I mean, it’s a relatively inexpensive addition to any cycle and it’s too cheap not to use it alongside hormone replacement!!
What dosage do I take if using Cialis daily for long term health benefits?
A dosage of 5-7.5mg/day is all you need!!
This is enough to get all of the benefits I’ve mentioned, and it’s enough to get harder and better quality erections too. From my experience on it, orgasms feel stronger too.
I’m sharing this information because I had no idea of all of the benefits of Cialis until my Doctor told me about it and I looked more into it. I always thought it was just some sex type thing myself.
But now that I know the real deal and how great this is long term, I’m proud to be a Cialis user!
 
Thank you for the input. Very educational. I will try it. Im 49 i could use all the help i can get now Im taking hormone replace test and dbol. The dbol make me kinda knumb so i cant get off. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Thank you for the post!

I have seen most of these benefits sited numerous times and use cialis myself. However this is the first time I've seen it stated for cialis to have effects on estrogen or to increase testosterone and would like to know if it is accurate. Do we know the author or where this info originated?
 
My issue with cialis is horrible back pains. Anyone else deal with this and what's the remedy? My regular pain meds won't touch it.

The info is based on a pilot which to my knowledge hasn't been replicated so the results aren't necessarily conclusive nor is the weight of the evidence much at all.

You're one of the better posters here so I assume you know the difference between statistical significance (p<0.05) and clinical significance (basically should we even give a damn lol). While there was a statistical significance in the study for a lower estrogen level of about 3ng/DL and a slightly improved T:E ratio, test only went up about 30ng/DL with no statistical significance. Basically don't count on Cialis for any of these purported benefits.

Ok, so yes it may have slight effects but nothing significant enough as a standalone to rely on for any noticeable benefits. Thank you @Docd187123 as most the other effects I have seen mentioned but that one stood out as a little far fetched to me.
 
That was a good read, always been curious about cialis as it seems it's very popular in bodybuilding.
 
Cialis gives me that "stuffy nose" feeling and I hate it. Laying down at night, it seems I don't breathe as easily through my nose due to the engorged nasal capillaries/tissue. My nose is really sensitive. I wouldn't want to use it consistently unless that side effect diminished.

You must fall within the 5-7% of guys that have this lower back/gluteal/leg pain with Cialis. The good news is that Levitra and Viagra tend to have a lower incidence of this side effect (closer to 1%), so you might want to try this. I would advise trying these rather than continuing to take NSAIDs all the time (not so good for you either). It's not like the bends - it is related to vasodilation. I posted this for you again in yhe other cialis thread as well. Hope it helps even though their seems to be no cure for it unless you switch brands. Sorry I couldn't have been any more help than that Gramps. Good luck bro.....
 
@Skull would this be suggested for a test only cycle?
It can be taken whenever bro. It doesnt have to be on cycle at all but alot of guys have talked about the pumps it gives you in the gym from the increased blood flow while workin out.

Good to know. I guess there aren't any studies about long term side effects from regular use. At least I couldn't find any at this time.

Viagra does this to me at even a small dose... cialis doesn't seem to bother me at all... I'm curious what dose your taking and if you have ever tried taking the cialis right after you eat vs on an empty stomach. You can get doses as low as 5 mg and even at such a low dose can be very effective for bp and for increased bloodflow

Great read brother.... I've been taking cialis for years because I have ptsd and used to struggle with erections... no issues anymore but I've found that on cycle my bp is much more stable and like you said the pumps in the gym are amazing ...
For me it comes down to one thing.... quality of life... meaning I don't really need it but it makes everything better.... stronger erections, bp, and better workouts.... a little research and u can find it for right around 1 dollar per pill... it's literally to cheap to not take advantage of the benifits.

Do you mean negative sides? I've not found anything in the research that I've done... in 5 years I've never felt the need to bump up to a higher dose so I assume your body doesn't build a tolerance. .
 
I've been using 5mg/day for years though, and at a low dosage the few side effects go away over time, but the benefits remain.

Also, another little known Cialis benefit is improved fat loss.
 
I recently started using it daily after reading about it as a pre workout. I like it so far. Pumps are good and I'm going to run deca for the first time here in a few weeks so I'm sure it won't hurt to keep taking it.

Yes negative sides besides the known issues (back ache, stuffy nose.. etc). I did find this study that said that no tolerance was observed. But thats for a 6 month period only Tolerance to the therapeutic effect of tadalafil does not occur during 6 months of treatment: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study ... - PubMed - NCBI

Good to now you've been doing it for 5 years with no tolerance build up or any other issues (I assume).
 
How about niacin?

That really increases blood circulation - if you use the real deal, not the non-flushing version.

I take some niacin every day for that flushing effect.
