I was readig about valium and its effects towards a bodybuilder. Now I do not know if i remember this correctly...but i believe it mentioned it is anti catabolic. Other than effecting your liver, can valium actually benefit your muscles at night in a positive manner?     | ||

Here you go.Info courtesy of Anabolics 2000. Valium is also used for it's ability to reduce the level of cortisol in the blood.This hormone as you know,has a catabolic effect.Since valium can lower cortisol secretion,they may theoretically produce an anti-catabolic effect,equating to new muscle growth/muscle retention as the action of cortisol is diminished.Many however,find the lethargy that valium may produce is too much trouble for it to be taken regularly as a performance enhancer.Instead the user will make a trade-off,not taking the drug while training intensely,but taking valium on a rest day when training is a little more relaxed (basically equating to recreational use). |
