Hey Evo Bros:
Ok...I wanted to see what peoples thoughts, theories, BRO-SCIENCE and facts were on the differences between Vasoconstriction vs. Vasodilation.
I have been doing some limited research and this is what I have basicly come up with so far. Without making all of this rocket science, Vasodilators open up blood vessels while Vasoconstrictors constrict blood vessels.
There are some huge claims out there that suggest that Vasodilators (otherwise known as NO products NO standing for Nitrus Oxide) actually promote the growth of muscle. Arginine is the active ingrediant in ALL of these OTC NO products. It is claimed that this compound increases and maintains a constantly high level of nitric oxide in muscle ultimately allowing for muscle growth. Again, there is a lot of science behind this but I am trying to keep this short and sweet.
Vasoconstrictors doing the opposite of what dilators due, are used more as stimulants. Some of examples of these would be Caffeine, Ephedrine and one that seems to be everyone's favorite....DMAA. The claim with constrictors is that it's an effective way to stimulate muscle hypertrophy with much lower intensity. (At the cost of higher blood pressure and heart rate!) In other words, its allows for you to work the muscle MORE, ultimately allowing for greater muscle growth.
Now...if you look into the research done it would seem from a NATTY standpoint that VASODILATORS are BS! The whole claim seems to hold no true scientific baking. However, there is no dought that NO products ESPECIALLY CHEMS ( Cialis, Viagra) increase your pump. With this, one of the claims put out there from numerous pros (RICH PIANNA) is that while on cycle muscle growth comes in two ways. 1) The traditional Hypertrophy way of working the muscle to failure by tearing it down and letting it build up. 2) BUT MOSTLY FROM THE PUMP DUE TO THE INCREASED BLOOD FLOW INTO THE MUSCLE FORCING THE MUSCLE FACIA TO EXPAND AND GROW. These pros claim that the MAJORITY of their gains have come from the painfull pumps they have endured while on cycle.
In other words, THE PUMP IS WHAT YOU WANT FOR MUSCLE GROWH. Now I love the way the pump looks in the gym, but could the increased constant pump really be allowing for most of my gains?
Vasoconstrictors seem to me more dangerous and although they promote energy, the muscle building effects dont seem to be as pronounced. What are your thoughts? Are these products BS? Is the PUMP BS?
