Pentox and weightlifting?! Curved penis but good muscle pumps?

[jmd2011]

Hello all,

I am 22 years old and have recently been prescribed pentox 1200mg/day. I take weight lifting very seriously and workout 5-6 days a week depending on how i am feeling. I am curious if pentox, since it helps blood flow, would in anyway be a good supplement for weightlifting?

Many weightlifters/bodybuilders take pre-workout supplements which contain nitric oxide amplifiers (L-citrulline and L-arginine). Nitric oxide is a vasodilator which helps with blood flow by expanding the arteries and therefore muscle "pumps". Most nitric oxide supplements contain l-arginine and l-carnitine which i know from reading, a lot of you guys are already supplementing. Could the pentox really make that big of a difference in blood flow where i will be able to tell a difference in workout performance much like taking and not taking nitric oxide amplifying supplements?? Hell, pentox is even supposed to help with cramping so i wonder if ill cramp up less when exercising! That would be nice.

Just want to throw it out there, when I take full on nitric oxide supplements for bodybuilding (take twice a day once in morning and once in afternoon, even on non-training days) as opposed to pre-workout supplements containing nitric oxide (you take once 30-45 minutes prior to exercise but do not take on non-training days), my penis gets huge when both flaccid and erect. I am talking I gain about an inch in length when flaccid and erect. The girlfriend is a huge fan and supporter for obvious reasons. So for some of you "older guys" who say you recommend cialis, i would recommend you first try taking one of these supplements and see how your body reacts. Its basically the same thing as cialis (pretty sure cialis just messes with the enzymes in the nitric oxide system making your body produce more nitric oxide) but doesn't have all the nasty side effects, isn't a prescription, and is less expensive!

I have tried googling to see if anyone else has asked these questions but have had no luck finding anything. Anyone on here have any input on this?? Very curious

I am going to record my workouts for the next couple months to see how my body reacts to the pentox and if i notice any significant performance differences. Bloody shame that I am aesthetically appealing yet have this horrible disease. Would give up a finger for it to just go away!

Looking forward to everyones input

jmd2011,

I was into distance running when I was on Pentox. It reduced my recovery time and I could do 5 miles at a 7 min pace without breathing hard. I only started lifting recently and I'm no longer taking pentox so I can't speak to it in that regard. I imagine it would help though.

Cialis isn't just for erections with Peyronie's; it also has some anti-fibrotic effects that nitric oxide alone does not have.

Skjald,

Thanks for the feedback! It may still be too early for me to notice any difference with recovery time or strength gains. I will make another post in a few months to let everyone know if i think it has made a difference or not.

Also, did not know about the anti-fibrotic effects that cialis has. Thanks for sharing that good info!
