    I also use atenolol ( yeah got the idea from Obs) and I have no side effects. I did accidentally take 2x the normal amount ( different mg) and it did make me severely tired and lethargic.

    No I have not. I am running tren at higher doses and I noted an increase in BP to the point that I was getting concerned. I just started taking BP meds about 4 months ago.NOTE: anything over 140 concerns me.

    For a vuy like charger that uses eca he wont be able to beat a beta blocker like atenolol.
    It blocks thing like epinephrine and lowers strain on the heart from other chemicals he takes like ephedrine.

    Candesartan prevents constriction of the vessels but atenolols primary function works directly at the heart.

    Imo sides vs effect, charger couldnt get a better med. I dont think any of us builders could unless they have an underlying issue aside from the chemicals we take.

    Tren for example raises bp by spiking epinephrine. Part of the reason for insomnia and rage.
    Well. Atenolol blocks epinephrine from reaching the heart. There is a host of benefits for a tren user and someone on eca or stimulants.

    I sleep better on tren now. I will do a write up on it when I aint enjoying myself

    Doesnt it affect muscle pumps?

    From an athlete point of view, reducing the heart output, like beta blockers do, sounds a little strange to me.

    I had high BP about one year ago, used telmisartan at the time but managed my way without BP meds, went from 160/100 to usual readings of 115/75 at 60bpm.

    It doesnt touch the pumps unless overdosed.
    An overdose that effects you to the point of loss of pump would make you feel like you were dying. Charger did this on accident recently. It literally puts you down.

    I have found my blood pressure can get so wound up on eca or stimulants that taking 50mg at once can put me back to relatively normal bp and give me a great workout without undoing the extra kick of ephedrine. Then two hours later I can sleep without lurching awake or having the usual trensomnia.

    Again this is me. I have had high bp all my life but tren and eca compounded it immensely.
    The means by which tren and ephedrine increase bloodpressure is best handled by a beta blocker imo.

    Of course this is opinion as they havent done any studies I know of on stimulants and tren and the best way to lower the elevated blood pressure.

    I dont fully understand a muscle pump. Epedrine gives me the largest and tightest pumps I can get but it is costrictive to blood vessels....? Doesnt make sense.

    My idea that atenolol is better for a tren user is mainly because of the elevated epinephrine response to the heart caused by tren. It seems appropriate that a drug that can prevent the epinephrinecfrom reaching the heart would be best.

    Again this is theory.

    BTW TO ALL ON ATENOLOL!!!

    AVOID APPLE AND ORANGE JUICE ANY TIME NEAR DOSAGE ...

    Apple and orange juice greatly inhibit the absorption of atenolol for a few hours after dosage. Pubmed has the articles.

    Excellent idea. First we have to prop up the trash talk and PM them about what their competitors supposedly said in a PM about their mother et.c

    btw: The dosage thing was something I wanted to talk to you when I pm you, but Im sorry busy as crap. Have to train, cook this morning and drive 60 miles to a going away party at 1 then hopefully get home with a little time to start working on fixing up the house for when we leave. Got doors with holes in them I have to change out

    Charger you're not so good with PMs lol but here is the info I'll send it via PM too

    Judging criteria
    Judging done solely based on starting pictures compared to finishing pictures.

    The judging critera are most improved physique, in terms of muscle gain and fat loss.

    At the same time, de-improvement in your physique should be penalized, such as fat gain and muscle loss, because your physique obviously de-improves.

    Hypothetical scenario, if:
    person A gains X amount of muscle,
    person B gains X amount of muscle and loses Y amount of fat

    person B wins

    if,
    person A gains X amount of muscle
    person B loses Y amount of fat,
    if X is greater than Y, person A wins, vice versa for person B to win.

    so there is some logic to it but the criteria is still as basic as it gets, gain muscle, lose fat.

    Doing something like not training legs should also be penalized because thats only gaining muscle in half your physique...

    The judging system is based on a points system. Each judge ranks each competitors improvement from first to eleventh. I will then compile the rankings and give points for each ranking;
    Each first place ranking from a judge gets 10 points
    second place 9 points
    third 8 points
    ...
    eleventh 0 points

    The competitor who gets the most points wins.

    Now that didn't go as planned but how can you say no to all these people wanting to join in on the fun. Lol
