Title: Viagra/Cialis pre workout? Other benefits?
Post by: beakdoctor on December 11, 2022, 11:41:03 AM
Been seeing this a lot. Viagra as a pre workout. Increases N.O. just read somewhere that it increases testosterone too. I had never heard that before. Also recently heard that lack of N.O. is a cause of alzhiemers.

Anyone take it for working out or for any other health benefits? What's the Getbig hot take on this subject?

I remember back in the day, 15-20 years ago, reading an article by some older guy in his 60’s, and he claimed to use it as a pre workout for the pump. I thought it was funny he made the caveat, “I don’t need it sexually”.

I’ve never heard of it increasing test or sexual desire. I’d imagine any increase in sex drive is due to then confidence of strong boners.

Too many negative sides with viagra, nothing serious but I feel drowsy, lethargic and congested. For a pre workout the negatives outweigh the positives. Not worth it IMO

Just be careful with how much you take. I once overdosed on it. Hardest day of my life.

I doubt there are any health benefits or pre workout benefits. Just a blurry head, a racing heartbeat and a walking boner.

Don’t mess with it.  I took one and it got stuck in my throat. Had a stiff neck all night.

That's nothing, brother. I once took it with laxatives by accident. I didn't know if I was coming or going.

Supposedly, by way of a direct effect on the testes, Viagra/Sildenafil causes an increase in Testosterone (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6036338/ (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6036338/)).

Used Cialis many years ago during 2 weekends (just for fun as its length of action is supposedly up to 36 hours) and while it was solid for maintaining an erection, like others have said, it doesn't increase libido per say but instead merely allows for rock hard erections and I believe improved refractory time in between ejaculations. While it was fun to use on 2 separate occasions, I did find that I developed a bad headache and a stiff neck. Scared the shit out of me so I never used it again and instead gave the pills to a homeless man I met on the local subway. I've also heard people mention that in some rare cases men have developed priapism whereby erections can last for greater than 4 hours (even after ejaculation) with resulting pain and possible damage to the penile tissue. Would hate to be the guy that has to go to a local ED to have a bunch of residents drain my mickey after a night of fun.

Would be interested in seeing what low dose viagra would be like if taken prior to a workout. Also, if it does show neuroprotective properties that can decrease the odds of developing Alzheimer's and/or even improve cognitive function, it would be worth taking a second look. Moreover, as a potent vasodilator, it's a shame it doesn't dilate cerebral vasculature as it would be awesome to use something similar to it in order to reduce the likelihood of ischemic strokes in patients that high multiple risk factors (hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension etc). Studies haven't suggested this possibility and instead show that agents like it have no true vasodilating effects on cerebral vasculature, or at least not enough to cause improved blood flow/velocity.

5 mg a day of Cialis is great. Blood pressure, libido, pumps, etc.
(Mainly for the great blood-pressure response, but the other benefits are great too).

No sides at that low-dose for most people...

I know a few pros that swear it by cialis the last two weeks before the contest.  Increases vascularity supposingly.  Everyone I know that used Viagra says it is a shit drug.  Congested head, flushed feeling, stuffy nose, etc...  They all say Levitra and Cialis is better.

Tadalafil - Cialis has multiple health benefits besides treating ED. Among other things it can lower blood pressure and increase blood flow. It is an anti-inflammatory. Cialis is also used to treat BPH; an enlarged prostate (guess I cannot get it prescribed for this). ;)  From what I have read, it does not significantly increase testosterone levels. Some doctors prescribe low dose Cialis to be taken daily at 2.5 mg or 5 mg. The common Cialis dose for ED is 10 mg - 20 mg.

there are natural alternatives. Hawthorn berry for blood pressure, taking a walk and doing some yoga for blood flow, some tumeric and garlic for anti inflammatory and for boners maca root,squats and being around hot girls, or in your case boys lol

My Urologist did too 16 years ago


I once had a real trauma to my penis (A lady with quite the derriere was riding me reverse cowgirl and landed wrong so my penis got bent/was pushed forward as i was lying down)

So i went to my Urologist and he said, well there are two things we can do.

We could do surgery to make it stand like before, but that could reduce the size of it 1-2 cms or we could try Viagra for a while and see if it readjusts better.


I chose the Viagra and i could keep on performing for many years, although before the incident, the penis would point straight up towards the ceiling when lying down, and after it wouldn't not anymore.

Instead of 90 degrees angle, it would be a 45 degree angle

Before

I had a coach recommend half a tab cialis pre workout, never tried this before, I pop half a tablet, I go in to do back, I always start with bodyweight chins, after 2 sets I had such a tremendous pump in my arms I literally couldn't move them, it was insane,  I had to leave the gym, I waited an hour and went back and was able to train, a quarter of a tab did the trick for me, great pumps for sure.

I don’t understand. What does pump do other than make the muscles temporarily bigger until they go back down in an hour or so?
