giving blood while on cycle...(t-mos, big, phate)

Well, you are NOT supposed to donate if you are on AAS or HGH,according to the American Red Cross, but HONESTLY

I have given blood on cycle in hopes to reduce RBC and to help drop blood pressure.
Not sure how well it works, but I have done it twice.

oh and it was at very beginning of cycle when I did it

Awesome, did you notice it hindering your performance(workouts) for a time after donating? If I give blood it would be right before my off day. Thats exactly the reason I was wanting to do it for. Just to keep my insides as healthy as I can.

Not at all, I always took the next day off after giving blood. Didn't notice ANY lose of performance at all ever.
Blood pressure is an issue with me on some cycles, so I think it helped, or it could just be in my head

That could have been the reason for my fathers HRT doc recommending him to donate blood...... he's had high BP since age 17 LOL...... He keeps it in control now with an EXCEPTIONAL diet...... every now and then his MD prescribes him the lowest dose BP medication possible...... he hasn't needed it tho since his back surgery when he was under a TON of stress......

I didn't know that, and will definetly have to check next time I donate. I've never asked, nor have they. I also couldn't find that as a disqualification on their website, but like I said, I will make sure to ask next time I go in.

I do think it helps with lower BP, like you said.
