Too much fucking drama everywhere lately.

Does it ever end?

New evidence in 2018, though, has made it clear that saunas use a very particular mechanism in the body to help us feel healthy. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with "sweating out impurities" (the body's internal waste disposal system deals with most so-called "toxins"); it actually has to do with blood flow. Exposure to dry heat in the controlled environment of a sauna for a limited period of time (not, say, on a baking street without access to water) appears to help our hearts function properly and exercises our blood vessels. And that, the scientists believe, is one of the big reasons behind a sauna's health benefits. Bring on the sizzling coals and pine-scented towels. 1They Can Lower Your Blood Pressure Sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neuro-cognitive diseases," explain the scientists behind a recent report published in Mayo Clinic proceedings. And they have a good idea about why. These scientists also published a study earlier in 2018 that used 100 test subjects who spent 30 minutes in a sauna, and examined what happened to their hearts. And the results are illuminating. Half an hour in a sauna, the research showed, lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. These two numbers are what give your normal blood pressure reading: 'systolic' is the pressure on your blood vessels during a heartbeat, and 'diastolic' is the pressure between beats. 2They May Make Your Blood Vessels More Responsive Saunas, according to this research data, can help "vascular compliance", or how well your blood vessels respond to changes in pressure. That's a massive factor in the health of your heart and in how effectively your blood travels throughout your body, including to your brain. Saunas, it turned out, make your blood vessels really responsive to pressure, and also heighten your heart rate; it was pretty common, according to the scientists, to see peoples' heart rates increase as if they were doing some moderately intensive exercise 3They Relax Your Arteries The people in the sauna study also showed evidence of artery relaxation after half an hour of spa time, which is an indicator of good heart health. You do not want arterial stiffness, because it raises your risk of cardiovascular issues and diseases. The stiffer your arteries, the more likely you are to have a heart attack or suffer some kind of bypass. This sounds contradictory, as many saunas recommend staying away if you have heart disease or heart problems, but other studies have shown that even for patients with serious heart disease, saunas can be helpful. However, you should still refer to a physician before you go if you've suffered a heart attack or have a history of cardiovascular issues 4They May Be Good For Your Lifespan A few different studies have shown that there's a link between frequent sauna-taking and a lower risk of early mortality, though it's only been studied in men. A study of 2,300 Finnish men over 20 years found that, over the course of the study, 49 percent of once-weekly sauna takers passed away, compared with 38 percent of twice-weekly users and 31 percent of men who went nearly every day. Part of this, the scientists behind the study say, is that saunas are often done communally, and help you bond with other people, which has confirmed health benefits of it's own. Plus they're meant to be relaxing and meditative. But the blood pumping effects seem to be making a difference, too. 5They Help Soothe Chronic Conditions Sauna bathing has been linked to an improvement in pain and symptoms associated with musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia," the new study says. And chronic-type headaches are also included in their pain-busting properties. Why? Partially, scientists believe, it's because saunas appear to reduce inflammation levels in the blood. In several chronic pain conditions, inflammation goes haywire to cause serious pain and fatigue, and saunas appear to reduce those markers. This isn't a cure, only a temporary reprieve, but for some it may be a serious benefit. 6They Could Help Your Brain Better blood flow doesn't just help your body; it also helps your brain. The research rounded up by this latest study shows that, in older Finnish men, having many sauna sessions a week was linked to a substantially lower risk of Alzheimer's and dementia. But there's a risk in saying there's cause and effect here. "Whether sauna exposure exerts its neurocognitive protective effects or it is just an enjoyable activity that prevents or delays the development of these memory diseases is not clearly understood," explain the scientists. Hanging out with your friends and doing the crossword in a sauna may be the real hero here, not the sauna itself. 7They Seem To Protect Your Lungs Having a sauna when you've got a cold or are in the middle of cold season might seem counterintuitive, but the research suggests it's a good idea. Studies have shown that saunas can improve your lung function, even if you have asthma or chronic breathing problems, and reduce your risk of contracting a cold or pneumonia if you have them regularly in winter. This may not counteract somebody in the sauna sneezing on you, but when you're feeling shivery in your apartment when it dips below freezing, it may be a good idea to get thee to a sauna. You can't rely on a sauna to give you every health advantage you need to live a healthy life; balanced nutrition and exercise matter, too. But the evidence suggests that you should could consider adding them into your routine when things get a little colder.

Welcome to the board brother!

My order Arrived after 6 days with the Canada post strike that is very impressive Kudo to Genetec you rock!

awesome

Absolutely incredible!

My bad ladies and gents,had a few busy days with work and travelling. I did use madol and igf separately to see what each thing does and I did a mini post on it. Now these 2 bad boys should definitely be used together in my opinion as they seem to compliment each other. My stamina,energy,power have all shot up drastically and all felt on the first day. I said before in my first post that I do a lot of TUT(TIme Under Tension) workouts and it is intense and drains you. My workouts are all fully based on mind to muscle connection and stimulation. I don't care for lifting heavy. I did my leg workout yesterday,same protocol of 30mg madol and 50mcg des split in each quad. I have 2 leg days a week ,I separate quads and hams. Yesterday was my quad and calves day,i do my typical 45 a side(135 total) for 5 sets and 10 reps,each rep is 6 seconds long. Extremely tiring and draining but the density of my muscle is off the charts. With the madol,i flew by 6 sets and did 9 sets of 10 reps. And I still felt good Did leg extensions for about 120 lbs as my first set,felt light and easy,mind you this is after my squats. I typically do 4 sets of leg extensions ,I still did 4 but increase the weight to 135 and still had energy and went on to do calves. My oils have not kicked in yet which is perfect because it is helping me understand how powerful and potent madol and igf des are. For the people who want to train hard and gain lean mass, you have to try this combo

Body weight at 296, and strength is up. Oils have definitely built up enough to begin their action. So far, I’m going to have to give the test c, deca and dbol a thumbs up for sure. Now folks at northern, I’m going to try some madol and am thinking of adding in drol as well. Am also thinking of adding in an injectable to review it for you folks. I’m heavily leaning towards Ment. I’ve had 2 experiences with ment with 2 separate labs. One was good, one left me thinking Ment is overrated. Thought I’d try these guys out? Good idea or bad idea? Thought?

welcome @Mrs Talon good luck on your journey keep at it as anything is possible! Im going to have to get the wife to read the log as she’s getting more and more interested in var

Great to hear man. I see couples working out together sometimes and am envious. My wife doesn't have my same drive or passion for the gym.

That's awesome. Whatever it takes. I'm sure Talon will keep you training and diet together and manageable. Just don't feel defeated if you miss a day or eat crap one day. Tomorrow is a new day and carry on. Good luck!

Regardless of what the culprit was - I want to congratulate you on putting your health first... I see too many people sacrificing there well being for an extra pound or two of muscle. Have you gotten blood work again since stopping usage to compare?

I have also contacted Pareto, and my rep was not "magic". As far as I know Magic is just a member who bashes BT but gives positive reviews about Pareto over at CB. News to me if he is a rep.

Thanks brother. I feel amazing. it's been quite the journey, but to have finally put it all together and have the results is so rewarding. Looking forward to what next year brings by starting at this point as my new base.

Hey guys and gals, this time of year should be very important to Canadians. Our veterans made the ultimate sacrifice to keep this country free and safe. Veterans didn’t end at ww2, we have many more recent veterans that most Canadians forget about. So this time of year please do your part buy a poppy thank a veteran and appreciate what they have done for us and other people around the world. I wish that half these stores that constantly ask for donations after your bill would join in helping raise funds for the legion. How many times have you been to Walmart, Canadian tire, Home Depot and get asked oh do you want to donate to this or that? Why can’t they do this for our veterans? So many people don’t carry cash anymore. Friends I have in the legion have told me donations have been declining. This is why they came out with the new digital poppy. To any veteran on this forum thank you for your service, and thank you to all of you that take time to donate!

hitting 50mcg bilaterally pre workout and the pumps and energy are off the hook with the igf des. Plus the perks of localized growth. Igf des is a must try

Welcome brother

I can’t get over the sheer friggin size of you.
