Does anybody know if it's okay to work out the day I give blood? I'm giving tomorrow at 2:30 and I usually go to the gym around 11:30..... do you think it'd be okay to do or do I need to skip a day? :(

i dont know. but i would assume that if you workout before hand you would be fine. afterwards you might be a little too tired...
Yeah, youll be fine if you workout before hand. If you worked out afterwards you might pass out, ask Doc M about it. ;)

well guys... last time I gave blood I didn't work out before.... and they had to poke me about 10 times to find a vein.... I just don't wanna get in there and then not be able to give.... that would make me sad
only problem I would see is that they may think that your bp is a little high, you might just want to skip a day because one is usually weak after giving blood anyway...I should know, I done medical drug studies where you give your blood 17 times in 1.5 days...2 weekends in a row, payed 500 bucks. I've done those about 7 times...talk about a scar on my forearm, looks like I am a heroin junkie or something...the broke times of a college student
Lower your bf% then it will be easier to find a vein...
I wouldnt workout after giving blood.
Dang palme...........you just nasty tonight... all your post seem a little hostile.???
somthing bothering you...
PLEASE Start a new thread.....

and Peam... bump on the Blood preasure... it might be too high if you workout before..

Peam.....make sure you are very well hydrated. It will help them find the veins (so I'm told....I am SOOOO needle phobic).

SIGH thanks barbi... I'll be sure to drink lots of water...
Peam..If you want to work out that is fine..Just make sure you keep hydrated or they may have problems finding an adequate vein..Also make sure there is plenty of time for you to recover and stabilize your blood sugar levels so you don't get nauseated or light headed after the blood draw..I would also recommend eating something after working out..

If i gave some blood some guy would gain 20 pounds of muscle with all the AAS i got in my system.
The man has spoken............

Well does the fact that both nurses proclaim I have the smallest veins they've ever seen have anything to do with my BF%? Cuz there was some huge fat guy next to me giving blood and they had NO problem finding his veins. Hmmmmm.... are you a nurse Palme?
Cool.... I have great bedside manner :)Quote:
