Hi
I m familiar with the use of test base in powerlifting comps and before big work outs but can't find info on its use in mma.
Would a (pro) fighter not accustomed to aas but chosing to go on a low dose of test and turinabol preparing for his fight benefit from test base before that fight ?
Thanks in advance for all input !
Hello, sir!
I would like to express my opinion on this issue.
...unlike neurotransmitters and serious narcotic substances, the discussion of which would be inappropriate, Steroids act systemically, help to adapt to training stress.
If you do ONE injection of the testosterone base before the fight, I think the effect will be minimal.
If you make an injection before each workout, for, say, a month, then the effect will be noticeable.
Of course, androgens are neuroactive, they have their own special receptors in the brain, and DHT behaves like a neurotransmitter there.
Testosterone itself has the effect of increasing the amount of catecholamines in the central nervous system. There are dopamine and norepinephrine and adrenaline. However, this will only be useful if you don't have enough of them. There are cases when people developed schizophrenic reactions on TRT due to excessive production of dopamine in certain areas of the brain.
Fight/flight adrenaline reactions can also have their downsides, I think it’s clear what they are. You can find thousands of fights on YouTube where an overly aggressive and assertive fighter fell victim to his blind rage and lost the fight to the careful and skillful tactics of his opponent's cold mind.
Of course, something highly androgenic, such as Halotestin, will make you more aggressive and assertive, but even it needs some time in the blood, to reach a steady, certain concentration, in order to cause persistent systemic effects.
We can argue for a long time, but if you reduce my thought to a couple of lines, then steroids do not work as a speed that can be used immediately before a sleepless night at the club. Even halotestin, when it is taken once, is unlikely to give any effect other than a
placebo.
I have personal competitive experience in MMA, grappling and BJJ. I can say for sure which drugs will definitely help you improve your concentration during the fight, but as I said above, these drugs are not accepted here.
You also need to understand that excessive psychomotor arousal greatly impairs your endurance because you begin to spend too many resources. The mental endurance, concentration and motivation of a fighter boosted in this way will not last long.
If you want my recommendation, firstly, will give you a good recovery until the day of the fight. For example, I use some sedatives to get enough sleep before this day. But such drugs must be individually selected in advance, so as not to cause daytime sleepiness and fatigue.
I would also take care of the food intake on this day and the day before. Your intestines should not be overloaded with long-term carbohydrates, fats, or large amounts of protein. I prefer to have a small breakfast and take fast carbohydrates with me so that during the fight you have energy, but at the same time you are not overloaded with a large amount of food.
Let's summarize:
1. You need good sleep the night before the fight.
2. A small amount of easily digestible food.
3. Good concentration
4. Good endurance (it will not be superfluous to take pentoxifylline and SR9009 for a course within 10 days before the fight.
5. Concentration (there are also drugs for this)
6. Calm. Reduce stress with meditation practices
