Introduction to Stimulants
Introduction
During the competitive and very pressured times of pre contest
dieting in professional bodybuilding, many pros opt to find ways
which will give them an advantage, which may be very different than
the usual expectations. With the strict dieting taking place in the
weeks prior to a big show, pro bodybuilders may find their energy
and strength levels dwindling, and the use of stimulants may help
to give them that extra edge. The most commonly used (and relative
safe) stimulant is caffeine. Caffeine is taken in the form of
coffee, tea, soft drinks, and even caffeine tablets. But as
tolerance and physiological desire develops, the use of much more
notorious and dangerous stimulants, such as cocaine and
amphetamines, may develop in some individuals.
Before Using Stimulants
Before using stimulants for any reason, contact a licenced medical
practitioner in your area, and if at all possible, use the
stimulants under his or her care. It is very important to discuss
potential side effects, effects the stimulants may have on other
medication you may be taking, and understand the consequences of
any other adverse reaction. By contacting your physician, you can
prevent any undesirable and potentially threatening results which
may arise from the use of stimulants. If you do purchase stimulants
for use, do not purchase them from black market sources, as the
quality of these substances is not regulated. As well, many other
potential dangers come into play. For example, you may think you
are acquiring a stimulant, when in fact it is laced with another
drug, or is another drug altogether. This can lead to many adverse
life problems, including addictions and other health consequences.
When you do begin to take stimulants, do not take more than you
require if that means posing a health risk. Stick to a low dose,
and limit your frequency of use. As discussed earlier, some very
big problems could arise if you were to become addicted or tolerant
of stimulants. Never take a stimulant for longer than two days in a
row. Do not smoke, inject, or snort stimulants, as this causes a
rapid entry into the bloodstream. As a result, the
“high” achieved by the use of stimulants is higher, and
the “low” which follows is a much more depressing
crash. Always use stimulants for a specific reason which will help
you and be a benefit in your life. Do not mix stimulants with
depressants, as they both have opposite effects on one another.
Mixing the two may be dangerous, and has even resulted in the
deaths of several people in the past. In a perfect world,
stimulants may not be needed, but in the fast paced world we live
in, they are used by many people to get things done. Be sure to be
safe, above everything else.
