Concerning Resting Heart Rate on first cycle

[Ghoul]

An AAS induced RHR elevation of 30 to 40 bpm? I'd hope they would tell the OP to abort mission if they has the full story. Very reckless on the OP's part. I am glad he posted here.

Just as an example, I just finished a "blast" of 420 mg/week Mast E plus 420 mg/week Test C. A few IU of GH/d as well. RHR went from 54 to 60. I sit in low 50s on TRT+.

After years of using androgens and hard cardio my RHR is mid 40s on real TRT which is uncomfortable since I tend to feel the PVCs (their resonance frequency seems to be in the 40s) at that low a RHR. So its funny after all these years I abuse Test a little bit for TRT+ to avoid PVCs

Take it slow OP.

I'm not suggesting it's healthy, and a good doctor would investigate. But 90 is within normal range and if it's asymptomatic they aren't going to jump to a med, unlike 105 which would trigger immediate treatment because of the difference in risk.

This is true, my gp actually said if you feel fine around 90’s no need for drugs. However, this is if you are naturally a guy who has high hr, I think it would be different if the jump is massive from your baseline off cycle.

Take some propranolol to lower your resting heart rate, take it before bed or before a stressful time

What an irresponsible thing to say. You don't just grab some propranolol to deal with AAS induced tachycardia.

Baseline RHR before cycle? 60 to 70 bpm IIRC?

90 or 100 both way too high. Drop the drugs and get your cardio/body comp in check before androgens. Take your time introducing and ramping androgen doses. Ramps dont seem too popular nowadays. Better than alternative of introducing tachycardia. It ain't a race.

Absolutely agree. Upping the Steady State Cardio and will get back to the test keeping my heart range at a safe place.

Took a while before seeing this lol. Work on your heart rate by doing cardiovascular exercises and at least lower it to 50’s when off cycle so you have lots of leeway when you load up on the drugs.

If you’re like me there are certain compounds that will drive your HR insanely high. I am prescribed a beta blocker but have improved my cardio for the last two years that I am able to drop it even on cycle.

However, I am sensitive to semaglutide, it bumps mine to the 90-100’s.

This is a great example of learning to how your body responds to aas and what you need to do to ready yourself for this lifestyle.

Yea completely forgot to mention because it has been much longer that I have been running it but I have been on Retatrutide which is a newer glp-1 for a while too. Heart rate was well within normal on it but it is likely a contributing factor too. Definitely jumped the gun with everything as I came from a long path of lifting hard but making stalled progress from catastrophically low test levels naturally. Just kept pushing it because it felt so great to see results again, but this was a much needed reality check without something serious forcing me to make those changes.

Seriously man. Much needed reality check, and thanks for sharing that. Probably saved me from some life changing issues down the line.

Really appreciate you all for the constructive advice and not just leaving the typical you’re an idiot response regardless of how warranted it was in this situation.

Yea I went from a 60 rhr before the intial test only base to going to 90 immediately the week of then 100+ consistently now with everything else I added.

Have you been checked out by cardiologist? Ekg/echo? Any preexisting arryhthmias? Good to know before you dabble.

It skyrocketed the literal week I began pinning my first Test only 200 mg. It does concern me with my future cycles why my nervous system is extremely sympathetic. I have naturally horrible test levels so I will likely be on it for life but I have to find ways to tolerate it better.

This should be obvious but worth mentioning -- In the meantime, as you're problem solving this, I would be sure to stay on top of your hydration, electrolytes, sleep, diet, keeping stimulants to a minimum, meditation/relaxation, etc. Doing all the things that can support your heart/cardiovascular system

Try 500mcg BPC157 every morning that knocked me down 22bpm

i've never heard of ANYONE else claiming a drop in bpm from a minuscule dose of bpc157, you must be "special",,
