I've never heard of Cialis being used for BP control. Anyone care to elaborate?
That is what cialis and viagra were originally used for, to dilate blood vessels and help control BP. It was only after using it in studies that they found it be so effective at erectile dysfunction.
The truth is though, there are a couple different ways that someone can develop blood pressure issues. There is fluid balance, blood vessel constriction, and then hormonal issues such as angiotensin.
So in some ways, Cialis is effective, but some of you who develop BP issues while using Tren etc, may find they need another type of med, like Telmisartan, to control angiotensin, and/or a diuretic to reduce excess fluid.
as to the back pump - what people don't realize is that their low back muscles work all the time, ALL THE TIME. Even sitting, the erector muscles are hard at work keeping you from just collapsing from the rib cage down.
So when you take something that increases glycogen utilization like AAS, you increase a muscle's pump, which then leads to increased lower back pain because that flexed muscle is already pumped as is.
Imagine if your biceps were responsible for keeping you standing up straight, imagine how pumped they would be.
Make sure that when you are doing deadlifts and squats, that you are loosening up your hip flexors before hand. The Psoas for instance, if "pumped" from AAS and then left shortened and tight, can really fuck up your back when you engage in lifting exercises involving the back.
In other words, even while wearing a belt, I have had my back "go out" on me during squats because i was on tren and dbol and I hadn't loosened up my hip flexors before going deep into a squat. The Psoas is like a mast on a sail of a ship, it pulls on the spine (the lumbar to be exact) in order to pull the hip up past 90 degrees. But if you let that fucker get pumped up and then it's already shortened due to sitting a lot at a desk etc, you can end up on the floor wishing you had never lifted a weight in your life.
I'll go into it more at some point if anyone is interested.
