    wildland firefighting cycle?

    does anyone have experiance running a cycle while fire fighting? or any suggestions of a proper one? i know that tren A and test prop are out of the question. i need to be inject pain free. i was thinking of just running var to to give me a little extra boost but i don't think it would be healthy to run it for months.

    I wouldnt start injecting whilst firefighting, holding the hose at the same time would be a pain...

    Put the fire out and then between fires you can cycle...

    It's probably better that you don't do anything at all.

    the only ones i've met i met during training. 80% of them looked like tweekers. the rest were pickled old men. i'm not a tweeker and i'm not pickled.
    i don't know if im strong enough and in good enough condition. i've never fought fire before so i don't know what to exspect. i managed a bar for 3 years before that i worked in a warehouse. I've been logging the past few months to get my mountain legs. i need this job and i don't want to get out there and not be able to hack it because my body hasn't been doing it for 20 yrs.

    How long do you have before you start?

    I don't think a cycle will help at all. If you have some time to train, the best thing I've ever found for stamina is running intervals.
