DNP and swimming?

Juice Freak · Jun 19, 2005

I have a friend who swears by swimming while on dnp cycles as the only means of exercise. His theory behind this is that it keeps you cool, plus the small amounts of repetitive resistence helps your muslces from atrophying due to lack of use. He swears by this method. My question is, when on DNP I sweat yellow slime like a mofo, wouldn't the DNP opening my pores up get mixed with some chlorine and cause me to grow a third testicle or am I ok on testing his technique out?

by judging your "bulk cycle" you def. need a third testicle. so do it!!!

if i run dnp in the summertime, thats what i do, mild weights, rump rope for like 15min in smaller time incriments, then swim
his reasoning is right, in summer it keeps body temp at a constant while allowing u to exercise in the same calorie range as running, thus avoiding heat stroke and related issues

DNP can be very dangerous if you become dehydrated. You may not realize this but you sweat just as much while your swimming as you would if you ran around a track, you just don't sense it because your in water. Add DNP to the mix and you could run into serious problems, mainly hypokalemia. One of the first things a triathlete grabs as he/she exits the water heading for their bike leg is to grab a large dose of a highly concentrated electrolyte solution.
Keep a jug of gatorade on the deck with you as your swimming laps and occasionally drink it. Don't take DNP litely. It can seriously fuck you up!

Not trying to sound like the Grim Reaper here - but

You really want to avoid chlorine at all costs IMHO. You shouldn't be drinking chlorinated tap water (as much as bb'ers drink on a daily basis). Your body absorbs as much chlorine during a "normal" shower as drinking 8 glasses of chlorinated water.

Since a typical swimming pool is a bit on the cool side, your pores probably don't "open" nearly as much as during a warm shower. I would think your pores would be open during DNP supplementation - as part of body trying to cool itself.
