case of congestive heart failure from AAS abuse.

[biteme]

Just got off the phone with my friend. He's starting a cycle and he talked to a couple of bodybuilder's at his work. One of them was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure due to running 1000 mgs. a week for a period of 3 to 4 years non-stop. His condition has improved sinced coming off. He told my friend that he was told in the future to never run more than 700 mgs. a week. What the fuck do I know? I'm just reporting what I was told.

If he really had CHF, I doubt anybody would tell him to drop the dose to 700mg/week. They would tell him to stop all together.

lol, yeah just bang one less ml a week and get back out there!

The Dr.'s told him to never do them again. He has other plans though, if he recovers.

How smart can you be if you're running a gram of test a week for four years anyway?

CHF from AAS use is usually related to hypertrophy of the heart itself. As the heart gets bigger, it gets less efficient and actually has to work harder to do the same work. Add some high BP and you have a recipe for CHF.

The bad part is becuase the heart is less efficient it has to work harder, so it keeps getting bigger as it works harder and it ends up being a vicious cycle. Tell your buddy to get off the gear or he's gonna die. Once you hit about Stage II CHF you rarely get better unless you get a heart transplant.

This is another reason to take niacin both on and off cycle. Raises HDL, lowers LDL, helps counter some of these effects that cause arterial disease

I hate saying it like this but "one of my friends" cousin took gear for like 4 or 5 years straight...maybe like two to three weeks total time off....and he got up to like 325 at 10%bf...but he couls barely walk up a single flight of stairs without stopping for air or sweating a gallon....and he had to have blood drawn one time and it came out thick as hell.....
