Good question, im definitely not the one to answer this but thinner blood is easier on the heart. Im on EQ right now which increases RBC and i hear that giving blood is recommended during a cycle. I havent done it i wonder if my blood is too thick..

Re: training and blood thinners

On EQ I had to donate blood to keep RBC lower. On EQ try to not take anything with iron or B vit. That will keep it down a lot.

My dad takes it also. To answer ur ? I would say test is ok but eq or drol might be bad mix with it since they increase ur blood count. But I'm not sure. I would and do tell my doctor everything I use because of my Bp
Meds. My blood count goes up on eq and drol but my meds keep my Bp in check.

man, i would go with what the doc's say. i would imagine it would make your training far more effective from a muscle building standpoint due to the thinner blood getting into the muscle faster and easier but on the other hand, it could possibly cause internal bleeding from muscle trama. obviously i am no doc but knowing what they do that's is what i think. you may also get winded faster due to thinner blood also so that could also cause some probs. i would speak with a specialist or maybe email some of the docs that work with top tier athletes and arent one track minded. they usually will answer questions through email sometimes

I just got clearance today to start training again. I am on the same thought process as you where it may even help with training. My dose is only management to prevent the a fib and is very low.
