Microdosing EPO

[Benf15harp]

What was your baseline hematocrit?
How often will you test it the next 4+ weeks?

Was 42 last time i checked. It’s always been in the low 40’s
Will get it checked right before training block
So, about 2 weeks from now.

Injection 4 - Saturday.
1500ius 3x iron pills
Based on feels, I feel nothing. Lol
Rhr same as usual.
Week 1 totals - 5000ius 60mg iron for first 4 days
90mg for last 3 days.
Not much info iron amounts. I’ve seen recommendations of “just eat more red meat” to “hundreds of milligrams iron supplements” My diet is loaded with iron so, I figure a modest amount of iron supplementation will do. Might drop back to 60mg starting tomorrow.

Injection 5 - Monday roughly 1667ius with 2 iron pills

 

[Benf15harp]

Injection 6 - Wednesday 1667ius (roughly) 2 iron pills
Noticeable increase in time to exhaustion during practice today
Rhr- 50
Bloodwork scheduled for Wednesday
Training block(10 days) scheduled for next Friday

 

[Benf15harp]

Injection 7 - Friday roughly 1667ius though looked like 2000/2500ius lol. These pens are impossible to know 100%. Next time(if there is one) I’m getting smaller dosed pens like 1000/2000ius.
2 iron pills.
Weekend off.

How have the endurance gains been so far? Noticeable performance increases?

 

[egruberman]

I forget, are you a cyclist? Do you track power output?

I might be inclined to replicate this experiment with power at some point. Kinda made a half-assed attempt to boost my Hct with EQ which crashed my e2. I can run some pretty big AAS doses without going over 50%.

honestly it’s hard to say if there’s any difference at this point(2 weeks). From my understanding epo “kicks in” sometime around week 3.5/4 but I’m not 100% of that either lol.

Not a cyclist. Retired tennis tour player.

Injection 8 - did 2500ius accidentally smh so will do another 2500 on Thursday as I’m limiting weekly dosage to 5000ius in total. Also 2 iron pills
Training block scheduled for Friday might be delayed due to weather as I like to do training in south Florida and also I’m pretty fkin banged up atm lol. Probably move to sometime next week.

 

[Benf15harp]

Injection 9 - Thursday 2000-2500ius 2 iron pills
Training block and bloodwork postponed due to hurricane. Makeup dates to be determined lol
Next week is last week of injections.

Injection 10 Monday 1667 ius 2 iron pills

I believe the EPO may be causing joint(primarily) and muscle pain over the last 10-14 days. Becoming more prevalent and
Unpleasant.
Will finish the last two days(w&f) of this 4 week cycle because why the fuk not. Lol.
Hematocrit was tested Friday at 49.5. Up 7 points from normal.
Training block seems highly unlikely.

 

[Benf15harp]

Should add joint pain is in the knees and muscle pain in quads. Both completely unacceptable lol
