One of my friends just had a kidney fail (non bodybuilder, female) and is about to start dialysis. Just made me think that here I am doing a lot of gear, hgh, insulin, and eating like a gorilla...and other than getting bloodwork every 3 months (which is usually ok...blood pressure is always high). I was thinking of adding in a little regimine....
what are the top 5 things I should be doing?
Donating blood?
Grapefruit (for eating/drinking, not pulling a Kai)
Asprin?
Fish Oils?
All ideas are welcome...
drink the blood
absolutely fuck the grapefruit
snort the asprin
bathe in the fish oil
healthy as a horse ;)
honestly, the more i see... the more I believe it all comes down to genetics.
if your dad/grandpa smoked like chimneys and drank every day of their lives, I doubt running some cycles is going to wreck you. On the other hand, if both parents suffered heart disease in early 40s, then yeah, blood pressure would be extremely alarming.
If you're taking a daily aspirin, fish oil, vitamins B, C, E, maybe cranberry... eating clean, drinking a gallon of water, and above all, not stressing things all that much, you're probably fine.
you use GH and insulin...why?
drink the blood
absolutely fuck the grapefruit
snort the asprin
bathe in the fish oil

...and video it all in the nude to pay for my drugs?
Cardio!!!!!
45-60 minutes everyday will go a long way, one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Besides that, eat many different fruits and vegetables everyday, don't eat too much in general, stay at as low a bodyweight as you're comfortable with (ie: lean out fatso), minimize stress from outside sources, and keep a positive outlook on things.
Any of these will do way more for your health than any supplement could ever do
This man did and it completely changed his life(http://forum.bonsuna.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=a7a2e1068081a4b3ce7339bd12f43725&action=dlattach;topic=1520.0;attach=9651;image)
I was very religious with Cardio for a long time, and got in good shape as far as that goes.
I recently switched to the 15 minute HIT routine that Layne Norton recommends, daily. Do you think that's as beneficial as far as "health" goes?
Well, it seems like longer sessions of steady-state cardio are the best workouts for "heart-health".... five 30 minute sessions/week is a good place to start.
But really, the best kind of cardio is the one you're most likely to do.... so if you prefer HIT, go for it 8)

You're heading down the same path of kidney failure if you don't control your blood pressure - get specialist medical help and don't be a dickhead by seeking this advice from a gossip and opinion bb message board. HTH?
Yes, if you're not able to get cardio in range with lifestyle modifications get on BP meds. Don't fuck around with that

Fella might have inherent cardiac or cholesterol issues causing the elevated BP that may not be picked up by the MD. Not immediately dealing with this relatively basic issue = fail

you should be considering taking less drugs, and making your health a priority over bodybuilding.
Can I not strike a balance?
yea you wrote " I am doing a lot of gear, hgh, insulin" so maybe do less no?
Fair enough. Maybe I'll make every other cruise 8 weeks instead of 4 and see how that looks. I try to time it with my HRT bloodwork so my test is safely in range when they draw.
Some food for thought...
This is what I currently do:
Basically a paleo diet with added sweet potatoes and rice at various meals to up my carb intake.
Health supps: multi, apple cider vinegar, fish oils (diet needs to be HIGH in omega 3's), superfood powder goes in my morning shake, also drink about 8oz a day of cranberry juice concentrate, the expensive stuff that is sold in bottles and is sour as fuck. This isn't for my kidneys, it's for my LIVER (stole this from John Meadows.)
Cardio daily
Stay lean/light as possible while sticking to your goals
Bloodwork every few months. Blood pressure checks 1-2x a week.
Healthy as a horse 8)
Do you do anything specific with the apple cider vinegar?
Would the cardio even matter if I added in more calories to cancel it out? I really want to grow.
Mix A few TBSP in water and drink a few times a day. If I'm short on time I just take a few pulls straight from the bottle. I actually like the taste, Esp if I've been dieting (I know, weird.)
ACV is amazing for you.
Make sure to use raw ACV though, such as Bragg's
Oh and I'll make my own homemade Kombucha with ACV too. Super easy cheap and delicious.
Sounds good, I love ACV but didn't really realize it was so good for you.
Is the bloodwork a juicer thing, or should everyone be doing that?
My opinion: every juicer, no matter what, a few times a year.
But also good if your an actual bidybuilder, natty or not. By this I mean you're pounding the supps and high protein. BW is cheap, and the information you get is invaluable. I would say once a year or so if you're natty and competing.
Okay, thanks for the advice big guy

Would love to be your apple cider vinegar.
Bump for more health benefits of acv.
Why not just go natural?

Yes ACV is phenomenal for you. As your body metabolizes it and it goes through the Kreb's cycle it converts into massive alkalinizing metabolites. This is only one benefit. It has a ton of great health benefits.
why what's the diff?
Sounds like plan?
Can you talk about your AAS doses? Kind ?
Would love to be your apple cider vinegar.
On a more serious not, should you only take the liquid? What about pills? And can it be mixed with your protein shake? Bump for more health benefits of acv.
Also, do take all these in the a.m. or throughout the day?
And what about donating blood? I read thats important if you stay on all the time.
Uhhhhh what? Please elaborate more on this statement
Duh....I'm a diabetic dwarf....what other reasoner would a getbigger take it for?I mean I get it if a pro uses it, it's his job to be huge. But I mean, taking potentially lethal drugs to look good in the mirror
Its been a few years since my Biochem classes but I know step 1 of Kreb's takes acetic acid (ACV) through the process. Also via lowering of "gut acidity" will have an alk effect.
Yes, this makes sense physiologically.....but the Krebs cycle thing I can't really imagine based off what I know (it's been a while since I've taken a look at it myself)
Been awhile myself but I remember the doc I had for BC2 in grad school breaking it down for us. I should have payed closed attention so I could explain better but what I remember is acetic acid = good stuff
Let's hurry up and discuss the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar while Adonis isn't online.;D
Just get them in bro! I take some supps in the am some at night. Doesn't matter I don't think, just get them in.
Dumping blood is indicated if your hematocrit is high, which you can only know if you get blood work done. If you're blasting some big doses I'm fairly certain your hematocrit is going to be high bro.
I mean I get it if a pro uses it, it's his job to be huge. But I mean, taking potentially lethal drugs to look good in the mirror
or at the gym
really?
Not a pro, but I do wanna win some plastic trophies. These drugs are safe comparatively speaking...I mean I have a better chance of dying in a crash on the way to the gym (or driving an hour home after a 14 hour night shift) than I do taking a little slin.yeah that's what all the guys with broken kidneys said
yeah that's what all the guys with broken kidneys said
but hey man, I hope nothing does happen
always good to see someone still willing to go the distance in this dying sport
Not being a dick but this is a bodybuilding site bro. Maybe the wrong forum to lecture this guy about the dangers of AAS. This guy understands the risks and is trying to go about in a somewhat safe/responsible way.You're not being a dick but you're responding to something I never said
You're not being a dick but you're responding to something I never said
I said why does he need slin and GH
never said a word about AAS
where'd you get that from
