Does anyone here notice decreased pump when on BP meds?

[Juicedhead]

So ive been on losartan 50mg for a few months now finally got one thats not so bad after trying a few different meds for my bp. Since I have noticed that my pumps are just not the same theyre not as big id say probabaly 30-40% smaller. Now I dont know for sure if this is the reason but im trying to find out whats going on . Has anyone else seen this from bp meds? Thanks

I use Entresto, my body adapts to Losartan after a few weeks and it stops working. I had the best pump of my life the other day, always looking for that pump PR haha. Running 950mg/week Test C and 500 mg/week Tren E though, so that could account for some things.

dude after noticing my pumps are weak now my gaines have slowed waay down. I really believe the pump is the key to getting massive now for real its almost like im deflated looking now like before when i would get huge pumps i would look really round and full everywhere.

I have not used losartan, but, no, on telmisartan and metoprolol my pumps are impressively huge, causing me too stare at the mirror in arrogant self satisfaction

Wish I could stay like that all the time

how is your sodium intake?

Ive found my pumps improved after taking amlodipine and candesartan. Could be a coincidence.


Could it have altered your electrolyte needs and water/hydration needs? look at your carb, sodium, potassium and water intake.

Have you made any diet changes or PED changes?

Used Losartan before and Telmisartan now, but neither changed my pumps at all.

Thanks Mal, I also suffer from A.S.S.H.O.L.E.

Yeah, Losartan might be killing your pumps—it messes with blood flow and could throw off your electrolytes. I’d take a hard look at your sodium, potassium, and water intake. Also, if you’ve changed PEDs or your diet recently, that could be part of it too.

nothing has really changed. I checked my bp and its 107/71 on 50mg lorsartan. I think thats too low. I will try taking some salt before I train and see if that helps.

 

[Juicedhead]

whats a good amont of sodium to take before training?

Been using Losartan (100 mg/ed) for years. It has had no effect on my pumps.

Bp meds def lower my strength. Never effected my pumps tho. Metoprolol and amlodipine both made me weaker. Not a ton, but a little. I want to try telmisartan and/or nebivolol. My bp always like 135 to 140 over 80. Would really like to see 120 over 80. Right now only using 5mg cialis and 5mg amlodipine.

You want 120/70 or lower for the best possible long term health outcomes. I follow the major cardiology conferences in the US and Europe and they've stated the evidence supports new lower targets without any question.

The good news is you can tolerate amlodipine. When that CCB (calcium channel blocker) is combined with an ARB, the effectiveness is multiplied, without sides increasing. In this case 1+1=4

40/5 or 80/5 Telmisartan / Amlodipine, aka "Twynsta" single pills are available in generic form and will definately get you where you need to be.




Insurance will cover it, or if you're self treating, it's cheap from India pharma. Less than my copay.

Thank you bro!!! What do you think about nebivolol. And what do you mean tolerate amplodipine. To ppl struggle with this medication alot? I don't think I have had any sides from it. But haven't had blood work done since starting it
