I saw most are still active from this thread so thought reviving it wouldn't hurt for more info.
So you donated blood and it only drop a few numbers, still on the high side at 54? Why im thinking going to donate won't aide lowering it , being a high anabolic user .
I wonder What is a dangerous hematocrit for a bodybuilder spectrum? Iv yet to donate or self drain . I'm constantly pulling 50 hematocrit levels, Which is considered high. I do bloods every cycle. I'm wondering what is considered high for people that use peds. But i wonder what numbers a pro BB stays at. Like kia green, Kali muscle, jay cutlar, many more etc. Ones that always stay big year round.
Donating blood every 3 months or self draining monthly WILL NOT affect the performance of a bodybuilder. High hemoglobin/hemocrit puts strain on the heart AND increases blood pressure, both of those things are not good. Yah donating 450mls dropped my hemoglobin 14 points and my hct only .04 so not good enough for me.
