Winstrol for runners

[jtrzen]

Any long distance runners use Winstrol? What kind of results?

[swolegreaser]

I'm a sprinter and use winstrol, it's been helping me, dont know for long distance runners. I know EPO works wonders with the reproduction of red blood cells and whole lot more endurance.

Depends on what you consider "long distance"? I am an amateur triathlete. Usually olympic distance. Done a couple halves. Oh and yes i use winny. prolly 7 or 8 times. the results? anytime you get an hour or more of cardio in a day and you have 50+mgs of winny ed in you, you get shredded. i have to take 2000-3000 mgs of glucosamine and chrondoitin to keep my joints from snapping but it works.

So to answer your queston, i dont totally believe that winny helps tons with endurance athletes. but i have yet to quit taking it.

I agree that you need a high dose of at least 2 grams of glucosamine because my joints get very dry from winny. And running any longer than 30 minutes causes a lot of joint pain.

No they are different, and work on different things.

Glucosamine helps to build structural integrity of joints and connective tissues and is a precursor for joint fluid, ligaments, tendons, membranes and blood vessels

Glutamine is classified as a nonessential amino acid since it can be readily synthesized by various tissues such as the skeletal muscles, liver, and adipose tissue.

However;

The carbon skeleton of glutamine can serve as a gluconeogenic precursor and may regulate gluconeogenesis independently of the insulin/glucagon ratio. Because glutamine may serve as a precursor to glucose independently of glucacon regulation, glutamine supplementation may also enhance glycogenolysis and thus increase muscle glycogen stores even when insulin levels are low

(that was copied and pasted, i dont normally talk like that)


Maybe we should bump for YJ. I am sure he knows.

Thanks for the info, when I say long distance I mean I run about seven miles a day four times a week. I don't need to get too shredded, but I thought winny might help strenghten my legs without bulking up too much.

7 miles/4x's a week, for me thats a fuckin lot LOL

[jtrzen]

This is peak training season, got to give your all.

I go about 3 or 4 miles a day and a long run sunday morning of about 10. Like i said up above, i dont really think it helps tons for endurance athletes but the theory of adding strength w/o the bk using winny is accurate.
