The Weightlifters Thread

[volfan2024]

I would never tell anyone to heavy lift other than bench presses . I was a dedicated workout person for about 15-20 years 3-4 days a week. As you grow older those heavy weights you put on your back,neck etc,. come back to haunt you.

From a couple years ago. Look about the same at the time. My chest is a little more defined now.

FDA challenges marketing of DMAA products for lack of safety evidence


All you jack3d people better stock up. The FDA is laying down the ban-hammer on 1-3dimeth

Before I started my cut ~2 months ago. Horrible angle for my forearms tho haha.

Because it works.

While on 2 capsules of OEP or 1 1/2 scoops of jack3d daily, I've noticed a heart arrhythmia. Probably gonna discontinue use. I am not sure whether it existed prior to the DMAA, but I can feel it as pressure in my chest when resting, and I never felt it before this past week.

 

[milohimself]

Then it's best that you not take it.

Same thing happened to me when I was taking jack3d, but I very seriously doubt it's arrhythmia, though it can cause some serious issues.

You're right, I may have created an issue myself when I decided to snort it before workouts rather than mixing it with water and drinking it.

Well, I have an irregular heartbeat, which by definition is an arrhythmia. That doesn't mean it's anything serious, but it's best not to take chances.

 

[milohimself]

Oh. I read that as jack3d did that to you.

But yes, if you've already got arrhythmia, definitely need to be careful with caffeine and pre-workout stuff.

In fact, caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, so if you can find something without that, it may be for the best.

 

[Thrasher865]

No, I have never had an irregular heartbeat before I started taking jack3d. I can't say for sure that it is the cause, or if it just exaggerated an existing, unnoticed condition. Additionally, I can't say that it is anything serious, or just an insignificant side effect (some arrhythmias are harmless). I am probably going to take extra precaution and cut back or eliminate it altogether, though.

Even though chances are it amounts to nothing, it's not worth the risk just for extra energy.

 

[Thrasher865]

Is caffeine a vasoconstrictor? I thought it only elevated heart rate, and the 1,3 DMAA was a vasoconstrictor. Either way, elevated heart rate and constricted blood vessels is a dangerous combination after a certain point. Though my blood pressure is normal, the arrhythmia has me worried.

 

[milohimself]

They are both vasoconstrictors.

Railed aderol before a workout once. It was intense, to say the least. Peer pressure is a hell of a thing.

 

[milohimself]

Might as well just shoot up beforehand.

 

[Thrasher865]

lol damn. I bet that works pretty well. I am extremely focused on Adderall, but I HATE the stuff.

I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome. Haven't tried it since because I'm terrified of forming habits.

I can definitely tell a difference in my resting heart rate.

You use an HMR?

Not sure what you mean.

Heart Rate Monitor. I asked because when mine starts it's reading about 36-40% compared to 55-60% when I got serious about working out. Hard to believe it improved that much.

I just check pulse the old fashioned way. It has went from low 60s or better bpm to mid 80s since I started taking OEP. It's not constantly like that but can definitely feel it when it is.

I should have been more specific. The arrhythmia was an irregular heartbeat, not just a higher heart rate. I was expecting an elevated heart rate due to the caffeine.
