Improvement in Endurance training with peds

bossetti, I would not feel safe at 56 at all.

I do not know what my highest number was, but I had hemoglobin at 19.7 once if memory serves.


Using that very rough 3:1 ratio, that would have been around 59.1

And it did not feel good.

Things were not right.

The risk is higher, and there is no doubt about that. With that having been said, the odds of you having a stroke are pretty low regardless, just like running a bunch of steroids raises cardiovascular risk but lots of folks do it without keeling over from a heart attack. But the risk is there, nonetheless, and some do keel over from a heart attack, and the rest of us claim it was "genetic" family history.
 
The bigger issue is long term lingering effects and the fact that most of us keep this stuff elevated for long periods of time - on down the road there is a price to pay, even if we convince ourselves that the fact that we did not die during our last cycle means we made it.

Yes here u have to be smart enough far a race only and then let it drop a bit
 
Hello, I am also looking at starting PEDs as I, similar to biking VO2 max wise, xc ski. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with HCT over 50%, as due to being an asthmatic I have a HCT of 49 drug free. I am looking at trying to raise it to around 53-54 for race season, with things like pentoxifylline to help with safety,
then drop back again at the end or the season. I am new to this hands on, but have done extensive research, and was wondering your experiences?

I dont have really experience im about to start (:
You take albuterol for asthma?
You are pro? But is the xc ski season about to end right? Going to plan for next season?

I haven't been able to get my hands on the oral yet, but the inhaled can increase lactate production during workouts and in my experience makes me feel like shit. I have it managed well during events with some other things, but baseline breathing is just bad, and that's the reason for high HCT.

I am mostly planning for next season, not pro yet, but hoping to get there. I still have 2 ish months till the largest race of the season for me, so considering for the end of this season, but more likely next. Do you have much experience with other compounds? also, new to this forum so not sure about the rules for asking on here, but where did you source your epo from?

U would feel safe with 56%?



If you make it through last thread then well done.

So resuming everything it isnt that bad right? And the key concept is that high platelets high hct = not good, i have watched my bloods and it was 204 (platelets)

High Hct plus High plasma viscosity = not good (high whole blood viscosity). Tradeoff analysis, etc between oxygen transport and cardiovascular wear and tear.

Saya has a great post that was linked, and the second thread goes into the gory details should you ever want them. Take care.

Also see the posts on "competing effects" in that thread. Some decent videos as well if you like those better than very dense reading material. Plenty to choose from but I hope you take a look at all of it ;).

So its not good long term but keep it like this for lets say a month it isnt that bad if you do not have high blood viscosity

Less cumulative risk. It's all a roll of the dice when you are talking a performance edge vs health effects, right? You usually have to "pay to play" for performance. Definitely keep an eye on your BP and vitals.

Yes going to wear a fc alarm while sleeping if bpm goes too low and check at least twice weekly with portable crit tester
 
Hi everyone i am a u23 cyclists First year
i do mtb and a bit of cyclocross, im not the best tecnically speaking rider but im pretty fast in climbing
I weight 68±2 kg and im 185cm
Living at Sea levels
If somebody Is curious i have a sub 9kg Epic HT with xtr ;)
I train with Power meter
45%hct
669ng/dl testosterone


These are the Natural stats
then i put the Power chart its isnt really complete because It lack of my 5min and 2 Min best efforts

The main goal Is to improve power in Endurance and a bit of sprint
I have to buy and hct monitor and monitor everyday
Main drugs i want to use are:
Epo
Test base
Cardarine (i have to decide when)
Telmisartan (i am not sure)
Supercardarine "gw0742" (i dont really know )
Gh(only if i make some Money)
Aicar(only if i make a lot of Money)
modafinil ( i know that It doesnt really matter for sport but i have a to optimize study and i have for sure adhd)
Let me know what you think if i should add or remove compounds
I probably starting when temperature get colder because Epo has to be cold during shippingView attachment 298990
Hi, hows your experience with HCT monitor? Is it really accurate and worth buying? Which brand do you have?
 
HCT level is very important, if with small cost (around 20euro for the meter and 15euro for 25 strips) I can do it then why not? When training hard I can see if my blood is tired.
