AAS and decrease of endurance

[brooklynJRs]

Hi guys, I'm a marathon competitor and I have seen articles about AAS killing endurance, so I don't understand why many athletes use it, specially in track and field, do all steroids affect endurance and cardio or it's just some of them, I'm 26 years old and I would like to run a cycle to increase resistance in long distances and cardio but after seen those articles I would like some more info on this thank you.

the only AAS you want to touch would be EQ

also HGH works great but is expensive and hard to find

guys who do endurance are using cardarine and sr9009, they are legit from sarms1

you don't want to fuck with most steroids. they cause water retention, crippling pumps or in trens case it will make it more difficult to breathe due to the increase of PGF2A which is an inflammatory prostaglandin, that's why you see guys on tren who need more oxygen breathing heavier

You would be amazed, but even at the highest level of sports there can be a lot of misinformation among many other things. Also, the WADA usually does not say exactly what athletes are taking, so you never really know if these are AAS< SARMS, PPAR modulators, or any other thing. Among steroids, only EQ is a fine thing to use for endurance. All other steroids will only hinder the performance for the reasons explained by @stevesmi.

That's cos it's ok for strength (so shot put, discus any kinda throwing event) and sprinting. Not so much the middle and long distance stuff.

Other drugs yes but roids not so much.

There are also a LOT of other factors at play such as the elevation above sea level that many runners train at and so so on. Athletes aren't always as well informed as you'd think and their genetics can, along with their training, carry them more than the mixed up info with drugs they thought would help have. The one advantage I can think of is in injury recovery.

The only steroid that would really benefit an athlete would be EQ because it increases red blood cell count and doesnt cause a whole lot of water retention. Unless you are on TRT and are using the test to keep your test levels in the normal range, I wouldn't add testosterone into your cycle lay out. It'll cause water retention and make you slower.


I would forgo steroids altogether and use SARMS instead. Even steroids like EQ will probably hurt your performance, not improve it.


Steroids like EQ also open up a whole bag of worms of other issues because they are suppressive of natural testosterone production. After using EQ, you would need to run a full PCT which gets very expensive.


SARMS are going to be your best option as an athlete. Steroids will increase strength, but they will also cause a lot of water retention and negatively impact endurance. Your sports performance will actually probably be worse on the steroids then before you started the cycle. You might actually be slower when using the steroids because of the amount of body weight and water retention you gain on the cycle.


SARMS on the other hand will directly increase endurance, fat loss and recovery. They aren't as strong as steroids in terms of strength and muscle gains but you get all the good, with none of the side effects. They don't cause water retention, are only minimally suppressive of natural testosterone production and aren't liver toxic. You will still increase strength on SARMS, just not to the same extent that you would on steroids.


The SARMS triple stack (S4 + ostarine + cardarine) would be a great first cycle to run: http://www.evolutionary.org/the-SARMS-triple-stack-protocol


Cardarine will directly increase fat loss and endurance
Ostarine will increase recovery
S4 will increase strength and lean mass
You get the best of everything with the triple stack


After the triple stack, run a mini PCT. 4 weeks of the following:
HCGenerate ES at 5 capsules/day


SARMS are minimally suppressive, there is no risk of aromatization (therefore no estrogen related side effects) and legal to use. You can get everything you need off sarms1.com, n2bm.com and ag-guys.com

As a runner you will want to avoid steroids. The exception is EQ. Here is a list of PEDs that would work well for a runner:

-EQ
-HGH
-Nutrobal
-SR-9009
-Cardarine
-Ostarine
-S4
