I've been reading up on this quite a bit lately. I have found a couple studies that claim syldenafil enhances muscle growth, one specifically from 2013 talking about protein synthesis. I have a script from my doc and i must say, it does seem to help but im also very much a skeptic at heart.
Im the guy who's always doubting, in the back of my mind wondering if it's placebo, i wasn't even sure sarms were working the first two cycles i tried. How do i really know? Again, i do feel like my muscles are fuller and denser if i have been taking a steady dose for a few days on top of my regular routine but with so many factors to muscle building its hard to know for sure.
My main thread question is two parts. First, anybody here have personal experience using viagra (or the other similar compounds), or have any links/info with somebody else who has?
My 2nd question is a little more nuanced. One overall effect of the above drugs is a lowering of blood pressure, a side benefit for some people who have HBP. But, when lifting heavy weights, we hold our breath and breath out hard which helps increase blood pressure for force production, could a lowering of BP from viagra negatively impact that during a lift?
I have read many anecdotal stories about dosing an hour or so before a workout to increase vascularity and get better pumps but how would it affect strength, potentially? I also read an increase in blood flow brings more oxygen to muscles, which could actually improve performance with weights but is that true either?
In the end i will probly dose before a workout and try it but im just curious as to others' experiences here. As is i usually take (on non lifting days) 25/50mg of syldenafil in the morning and another 25/50 in the early evening so my levels are fairly stable through the day. So far i have avoided dosing on my lifting days until after my workout.
Just looking for ideas, info, personal experience, ect. Cheers and feel free to add any info you may have.
