Does using juice at altitude pose any extra risks that using at sea level doesn't?

Interesting point. I feel I'm about to get educated here.

No risk that I know of, but never thought about it. I work out in Vail, CO (10,000ft) during July and/or August, and other times of the year in Dallas and Ventura County, CA (1000ft); all on T-cyp. In Vail, I have to take much longer rests between sets, but I don't know of anything with less oxygen in the atmosphere, which would affect the body differently on gear or not.
What kind of risks do you mean?

^^^ he is thinking of maybe RBC count or oxygen being effected at high altitudes with the use of AAS. or maybe the effects of altitude sickness??
either way it is a stretch to think AAS has any effect... now i expect someone to chime in that they juiced on a ski trip and got sick but seriously you would of gotten sick with or without the AAS. I always get sick when i go high altitudes, especially coming down a mountain.

Been to Breckinridge and copper mtn many times since I was 12 or so...never got sick. Lol wasnt messing with aas either but i never got altitude sickness. Only thing that pissed me off good was my ears popping all the time. I come from Midwest so sea level to 10k ft I guess does that. I do kno from education and experience that rbc won't change but having less oxygen to bind with the hemoglobin in your blood will make it extremely fun to breathe with every step let alone training hard until you get acclimated to the altitude. In essence? I guess the demand aas can put on your heart in addition to the demand from lower percentages of o2 can put on the heart as well, could potentially make a dangerous situation for an unacclimated individual. I'm not an expert but have you ever seen 1000 ways to die?? I wouldn't wanna be a statistic for that show :/. Just saying.

It would change the volume of your blood and the volume of juice you have but it would be equal to each other and therefore fine. Using the equation P1/V1=P2/V2 520torr is about the pressure at breckenridge, 760torr is about normal sea level. you can plug in values to see how much the volume would change in your vial (not much at all). You could inject in space if you wanted to I have seen them do it on the nasa channel one time (not AAS obviously). So in a nutshell you would only be effected if you normally are prone to altitude sickness or what not, no way that putting .5 ml in you would do anything major or minor.

Actually, liquids are considered incompressible and the volume of your blood or of your juice would not change. The equation you site is for ideal gases, not liquids.

The only possible problem I could even imagine would be erythrocythemia or polycythemia (too many red blood cells). I'm not saying this is likely, but if you train at high altitude your body makes more red cells, and steroids can cause your body to make more red blood cells as well.

This is correct, I stated my response incorrect. It was suppose to be talking about the pressure exerted on the body and the actual volume of gas in the vial and syringe would change thus equaling out and not having a problem for injecting. Dead week in grad school has me stressed nuggah!

Never heard of it causing any side effects.
