Right, but only if you talk about low intensity (Z2-Z3).
The real increase in performance (FTP - VO2max) occurs a few days after the end of the cycle with GW, not during.
Indeed, during the cycle, it is very likely to notice a decrease in power in the high zones (V02max - Neuromuscular power)...
Re: GW501516...post your experience
It is detectable from the beginning of 2013, pros that are on ADAMs protocol now can't use GW. Other cyclist can cycle GW paying attention to the detection time. The problem is that the detection time is very variable, depending on the length of the cycle...
Re: GW501516...post your experience
I have started with GW a few days ago. Noticeable effect on the endurance already after the first dose (5mg). I will increase the dose of 5-10mg per week for approx. 2 months. In the first half hour of the workout I feel my legs tired as if I had already done...
Telmisartan is less effective than GW, at the same dose. You can try at 40mg ED checking BP. If you already have low BP like me (100/60 approx), forget it.
The only advantage of Telmisartan, apart the relative safety, is that it isn't a banned substance.
In EU we can buy it in pharmacy...
Sorted according to the effectiveness, from high to low.
EPO, or any other hematopoietic factor
GW or any other PPAR activator
Testosterone, low doses.
All three together would be better... :evil:
1) Pharmacies
2) Modafinil is approver for the treatment of narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorders and excessive daytime sleepness associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
3) Yes, ask for Provigil.
Armstrong used low low doses of Test, only for recovery postwo/race (andriol-testopatch-testogel). If you are not subject to any kind of antidoping you can use test prop at a dose as low as to exclude both water retention and PCT. The best for a cyclist is a low dose of test, a low dose of gh...
I can tell you that it is already used by prof and that costs a lot. All this in EU...
I believe that if you want to play with the Hb you should do it with EPO. The results are the same (more reliable), the costs are lower. Prof use FG (to mask transfusions) because there isn't a specific WADA test.
