Hi,
Does any one have any knowledge of the differences steroids can make to a persons cardio ability?
I'm thinking along the lines of gear reducing running times maybe because of water retention etc?
I know tren isn't too clever for such matters, but does anyone have any info about how test and deca affect things in this area?
I recal reading about how MMA fighters don't really cane high doses and keep it under 100mg per week, which chimes with allt he stuff Victor Conte used to say about his athletes, but I was wondering whatsort of does would be advised?
Would there be an impact on mile times if running say 500mg of test per week?
Many thanks.

Maybe eq? They don't give it to race horses for no reason:) best cardio I have ever had was on eq and test cycle I'm a bigger guy and I placed in top ten on several 5k while running five miles at once three times per week
You're somehow fixated on water retention but the real issue is BP being elevated due to the amount of gear you're talking about >600mg a week is enough to strain the organs and raise Bp which will effect the muscles in your legs and leave you winded sooner. Plus you're going to be heavier and put more stress on joints. A cumulative affect is going to take place and slow you down a bit. If you're a guy who does cardio religiously and take gear then I would say you're fine, but from your original post and the way you asked the question you probably aren't an avid cardio guy so yes a ton of gear is gonna negatively affect your cardio. Winny does help with endurance but that wasn't mentioned.
Running in general, mile times, cardio ability are three different questions.
500mg test E / week slowed me down at 4 miles on hilly trails. I almost never timed it, but it felt maybe 10% slower. I guess this was because I weighed 10-25 pounds more and also because of calf pumps.
I don't do 1 mile for time, but it seems the above problems would matter less.
Biking on flat roads, I felt like a beast. I would say my cardio ability was unaffected, but my thighs were much stronger.
That was "used to." Currently I'm limiting my cardio to 10 30-second sprints. (And I'm currently also off test.) Always bulking...
On 500mg or more of just test, I can run a mile under 5:30. I feel like I'm gonna die and couldn't go farther, but I think that is impressive.
Cool. Did your time go down when on juice though? Or did you have any other perceptible issues ie: just feeling more fucked while running?
My mile time is better on juice by about 15 seconds. However, on TRT dose, I could run two miles under 11:00.
Interesting stuff. What sort of doses were they? under or over 600mg total steroids per week?
Also, if the doses were higher than 600mg, were there any ancillaries being used to control water etc?
Would you think 500mg and under should nto impact things too much for me?
Cheers for the posts.
