Sildenafil (Tadalafil)

What is Sildenafil for bodybuilders?

Sildenafil is an active substance that is part of many drugs designed to treat sexual dysfunction. But due to the ability of this drug to expand blood vessels, bodybuilders widely use it to create pumping. The mechanism of action of sildenafil on the tone of arteries and veins differs significantly from how nitrogen donors act. There are other advantages to sildenafil, which makes its use promising in strength training.

Sildenafil Side Effects and Benefits 

Unlike nitrogen donors, sildenafil (Tadalafil) does not lower blood pressure very much. In addition, he heals the cardiovascular system, improves blood circulation. At the same time, side effects from taking it are minimized.

There is a persistent myth that sildenafil often causes a permanent erection. But such a statement is completely unfounded: an erection appears only after sexual stimulation.

The only drawback of the sildenafil pill is its high cost. But recently, many pharmaceutical companies have been producing cheap generic Viagra.

What is Sildenafil Used for in Sports?

In order for sildenafil to have the desired effect, several rules must be observed. First of all, you should familiarize yourself with contraindications in order to avoid side effects.

The optimal sildenafil dosage in bodybuilding is 25 milligrams. It is best to drink pills before training (so you can get the best result and create maximum pumping), but you can immediately after them. If you take the medicine before training, then due to the acceleration of blood flow, the flow of nutrients to the muscle tissue improves, which increases stamina and reduces the recovery time of the body after physical exertion.

Athletes taking sildenafil gain muscle mass faster, strength increases, muscles gain relief.

In order to prevent the body from getting used to the action of sildenafil, it is not recommended to take the medicine on rest days. If sildenafil is used daily, then after 4 weeks you need to pause. If the sildenafil pill is drunk only on training days, then take a break after 6 weeks.
