EPO dosage does bodybuilders?

I think from an intellectual point view I think it's interesting to think about the benefits in the BB world. I used EPO for several years awhile back in the endurance world and never felt it was dangerous. I always thought strongman competitors would benefit the most but I also wondered why more BB'ers didn't at least experiment with it. Maybe because AAS typically raises HCT so that point might be moot, but maybe those with lower HCT could potentially benefit from it.

You do need to be diligent with testing iron levels, HCT and blood pressure. The protocol is as simple or complex as you want to make it like any other cycle. Actually the newer version (Mircera) is way simple since it is longer acting and doesn't require as frequent dosing.

Would I recommend it? Probably not, but if you are intellectually curious, detail oriented and everything else is on point it's not that dangerous unless you have an underlying condition as Maldorf says.

If you are not at the cutting edge you probably won't notice a difference.

Isn't epo mainly uses to increase hematocrit which AAS does?

pretty sure epo works as antioxident mostly via sod, which is why i was injecting sod for so long... lol

in reality if you get thinky on some of this epo does seem like it could be a good addition. i thought so for a long time and tried out other ides with rbc stufff, in reality it doesnt seem to pan out, or at least it didnt for me.

you can use it safely too, its just the realities of all this do open one up to more injury potential, maybe even early death.

the person using it correctly probably isnt the one asking these sorta questions either.
be safe!
