good work bro.
(snip)
you mentioned that blood pressure can become a big risk while on AS and ephedrine. would you please explain in more details the dosages that one would have to indulge in order to put himself in such a predicament.
thanks bro.
Well, things like this are never a firm (LOL, no pun intended) rule.
Ephedrine will raise blood pressure. It will also raise heart rate, etc.
Depending on the individual, their blood pressure and maybe even heart rate may be raised already based on what he is taking.
Depending upon training level, his body may or may not be used to dealing with these extremes.
Then, some people are just more prone to problems in these areas than others. Some guys may be able to have their blood pressure raised a lot for short periods with little or no problems. Others may not be able to handle the strain.

You know, all of these recommendations are not just about Eph, they also make a case for guys to be mature in their training, with years under their belts, before even considering AS.
Its not like some "rite of passage".
I can just hear the young kids mindsets now, when they see older guys tell them to "be natural for a few years". The young dudes think "aw, they are just saying that like its some type of club or whatever, like I need to sorta pay dues to join, screw them".
What many guys don’t realize is that not only will these years tell you how to eat and train (which is frankly why so many dudes USE AS because their natural training sucks so bad the only way they really gain is to use AS anyway, most guys WAY overtrain) but this extra training also trains the non-obvious pars of your body. Your heart, your lungs, your digestive system, you nervous system. These supporting functions get trained as well, and are KEY in being able to grow, and grow safely.
When you get over-eager kids that just want to "get big" because they know of know other ways to get chicks on spring break (lets get real here ... that what a lot of them are worried about) then they go WAY beyond what their bodies are used to.
Thankfully when you are young you can get away with a lot, but still, it increases the risks.
OK ... rant mode off.
With anything, Eph, AS, etc, its better to be aware of where you are and what the substance is doing.
There is no way to really place a firm number on exactly what dose level may create problems. I am amazed when I hear guys do more than 25 mg at one time. Maybe they are just fine with that, but thats way more than I would feel OK with.
