Okay, I have asthma and live at 6000 feet so I take my blood ox saturation a few times a day--always around 93% (96-98 when hard workout)--now, two days in a row, it's been 96 resting. Workouts felt, well, hard after such a long layoff as expected but on a 50 min spinning bike ride I was surprised by the increased cardio output (98-100blodd ox and 325 watts). Thus, after just 2 days, it does something to O2 transport--even resting. I keep crazy records so wee will see if this continues, was a quirk, or as suspect a result of the GW-50. I have done this too long not to notice when I feel different. I now know why the WADA (doping police) went and banned it already--for those who don't know that small % change is the difference between winning and never having a chance.
More to follow -- more details on strength as I establish a baseline.

that's the kind of update and detail i like to see bro... i love the detail.... providing that detail can really show the impact that gw will have... you are going to continue to see some serious endurance increase and you are on your way to being better than ever bro... keep up the hard work!!
I will keep updating bro--the thing is, I have little doubt that the GW-50 has has a definite impact on oxygen saturation--not too sure of the mechanism but the would have profound positive effects on both endurance and BB--more efficient transpiration mean fast lactic acid removal/more material to build/faster recovery.
The thing is, b/c I am used to riding 4000-5000 miles per year, the slightest change is a bright neon f'in sign for me (as I can go back to five years of daily records--not once did the blood oxygen saturation change like that---NOT once so it doubt it's a coincidence ---I can't wait to figure out the mechanism and how it work as it damn awesome considering cutting edge asthma meds have not been able to up the resting saturation
Also, i have bonked (glucose stored as glycogen is gone so turning to fat for energy (this happens after 3+ hours of riding ---y thought is the GW-50 is rerouting the pathways to get the body to but fat first as opposed to burning little if any on a short workout---thus it performs as you have written about --

Nice info Eddy. While on GW you will find you will be able to raise your FTP a lot faster then before. This occurs because of quicker fat utilization... hence less fatigue allows you to train more. Gotta love burning fat over burning glycogen! However, I do believe that while on GW you still utilize glycogen to a large extent during sprints and intervals. I am curious to see how you respond.

GW lowers my BP. The first time I took it I almost passed out in the middle of the night when I got up to take a piss. My body is used to it now so it doesn't give me that effect anymore. I also have Micardis/Telmisartin but have yet to try it. As I have mentioned before, Telmisartin has been shown to increase endurance and burn fat... I still wonder why more people aren't talking about it.
"A 2012 study in Journal of Strength Conditioning Research found that telmisartan increases endurance and a reliance on fat burning during exercise, like the popular but easily detected drug GW1516."
That is a very nice update bro. The detail you provided here really puts things in perspective of what GW is capable of.
That's awesome bro. This really confirms the endurance aspect of it.

its a shame you and i haven't talked more in the past because we have a lot of information to share bro... i really love the knowledge you have on this aspect of training... i think we can learn a lot from each other... keep up the good work and these kind of updates... the wealth of knowledge is priceless and this is the kind of knowledge that more people need to obtain... thanks bro...
