Description

Cialis (Tadalafil) works by inhibiting the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme, which enhances the effects of nitric oxide and promotes smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation in the blood vessels. Clinically used to treat erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cialis 20mg is also increasingly used by athletes for its performance-enhancing effects due to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery to the muscles.

Unlike other ED medications, Cialis has a long half-life of up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname “the weekend pill.” Its extended duration makes it ideal for both spontaneous sexual activity and sustained improvements in blood flow and vascular performance.

Benefits

  • Enhances erectile function and sexual performance

  • Increases vascularity and muscle pumps during training

  • Improves blood flow and oxygenation

  • Reduces symptoms of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia)

  • Long-lasting effects (up to 36 hours)

Side effects

  • Headache or facial flushing

  • Nasal congestion

  • Muscle or back pain

  • Indigestion

  • Dizziness or light sensitivity

  • Rare: vision disturbances (color tinting or blurred vision)
    Important: Should not be combined with nitrates due to the risk of severe blood pressure drops.

Dosages & Protocol
Dosages for Men:

  • For erectile dysfunction: 10–20mg taken 30–60 minutes before activity

  • For daily vascular enhancement: 2.5–5mg per day

  • Do not exceed 20mg per 24-hour period

Dosages for Women:

  • Not typically used due to lack of clinical research and approval for female sexual enhancement

How to administer
Take orally with water. Can be taken with or without food. If using for erectile support, allow 30–60 minutes for full effect. If using for vascularity or performance, daily micro-dosing is preferred.

Dosage Instructions

Dosage Instructions

2.5mg – 20mg / day

Viagra is often not recommended to be taken daily, however Cialis is often prescribed daily.

You might think Cialis dosages for bodybuilding would need to be more than those used for medical reasons, but even when using Cialis for bodybuilding purposes there is no need to go above the maximum dose of 20mg daily. Even 10mg would be considered a high dose and it’s generally not recommended to even go to that level.

Most users will find that no more than 7.5mg is satisfactory for a noticeable performance boost.

Ideally, new Cialis users should start a lower dose to monitor the effects of the drug. As little as 2.5mg to 5mg daily is enough to give you an indication of Cialis’ effects.

For maximum benefit, most bodybuilders will take Cialis between 30 minutes to an hour before a workout as the drug is going to start working quickly, and it’s going to start relaxing the blood vessels and give you a noticeable boost to your pumps and cognitive function.

What about cycles? Do you need to cycle with Cialis like you would with steroids? No, this is a completely different type of substance. Most users won’t even want to use it daily because the goal of using Cialis is to get its pre-workout benefits that help boost your pumps. So just taking it on your workout days is the best strategy.

Cialis Benefits for Bodybuilding

Most formal scientific studies have understandably focused on what Cialis can do for erectile dysfunction; after all, that’s what the medication is made to do. But additional studies have also been carried out to focus on other areas of health, and it’s here that some interesting discoveries have been made about the more unexpected positive effects that Cialis may have in some users. Some of these positive Cialis benefits are of interest to bodybuilders.

Using Cialis pre-workout is the single main use that guys have for this drug and it’s where it provides maximum advantages. Because Cialis starts working within about 30 minutes, and reaches its peak effectiveness at about 2 hours, it’s easy to add to a pre-workout protocol whether or not you’re going to use steroids.

So, what specific benefits and effects could Cialis have when used for bodybuilding? Below are some of the important findings that bodybuilders may find attractive. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that you will see any of these benefits when using Cialis, and there is still much to learn about exactly what this drug can do in multiple areas of health.

Increased blood flow 

– This is the main effect of Cialis and it’s simple: get the blood flowing more efficiently by relaxing the blood vessels. More blood going to the muscles and even the brain means a total overhaul of how you feel. Many users of Cialis report increased mental energy and clarity due to this enhanced blood circulation. Increased blood and nutrients going to the muscles can really boost your pumps during workouts. 

Fat loss 

– At least one study focusing on type 2 diabetes found that Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor drugs, of which Cialis is one of, tadalafil brought about a reduction in total fat mass and abdominal fat in rats. Whether this same fat reduction potential can exist in those without type 2 diabetes is yet to be proven.

Better testosterone/estrogen ratio 

– Cialis has shown to improve the balance of testosterone and estradiol. Men need small amounts of estrogen, but bodybuilders are familiar with what happens when this hormone balance turns in the favour of estrogen: fat gain and muscle loss to name a few problems. Studies show that 12 months of Cialis use resulted in decreased estrogen levels and the potential inhibition of aromatase activity. 

Reduced inflammation

 – Inflammation causes countless health problems, and Cialis has shown in studies to have an anti-inflammatory effect. One study on men with benign prostatic hyperplasia found that Cialis has clear anti-inflammatory benefits.

Improved cognitive function

 – The same study found that Cialis can improve symptoms of depression and boost cognitive function. As a drug used to treat ED, sufferers of that condition often suffer with depression, but Cialis can potentially have benefits for mental health that boosts cognitive ability and function – and the better your brain is working, the more motivation and energy you’ll have for workouts. Studies show that low daily doses of Cialis significantly improved cognitive function after the administration of tadalafil for 8 weeks in men with ED or with existing mild cognitive impairment. It is not clear if this substantial improvement would be seen in healthy men. 

Reduced prostate problems

 – Older men can commonly suffer with Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Cialis has become a prescribed drug used to treat the condition because the drug was found to relax muscles in the prostate and bladder, thus relieving the symptoms of increased urinary urges that come with BPH.

As we can see, Cialis has some extensive health benefits well beyond its original intention of simply being a treatment for erectile dysfunction. While not all the above benefits and effects might seem on the surface to have benefits for bodybuilding, they can all relate back to how you’ll perform as a bodybuilder. This is particularly true for older men who are determined to keep building and maintaining muscle, but who may suffer with common health issues.

If Cialis can help reduce inflammation and keep problems like BPH at bay, you as an older bodybuilder are going to see significant benefits – essentially allowing you to perform at a level that may not be otherwise possible.

Side Effects

Side Effects

Like all medications, Cialis does come with its fair share of possible side effects, and these are something that any potential users will want to be aware of. Most side effects are considered relatively mild and short term, and even the reported common side effects have shown to only affect a small percentage of users. Possible serious side effects, while very rare, should not deter potential Cialis use for bodybuilding if you are aware of them.

There are some well-known and relatively common side effects with Cialis that are mostly mild and short lived. These include:

Headaches
– Cialis causes some drastic blood flow changes, and this can bring on headaches. Headaches are one of the most common issues Cialis users will experience with any erectile dysfunction medication. This is usually a short-term effect which subsides on its own.

Blocked nose
– Nasal congestion can happen because of the blood vessel dilation that Cialis causes. This isn’t a harmful side effect for most people and usually goes away on its own within a short time. The opposite can also develop: some users report a runny nose after taking Cialis. Those with existing breathing issues might need to see a doctor to develop ways to minimize this side effect.

Facial flushing
– The increased blood flow and blood vessel dilation can affect the small blood vessels in the face, leading to redness of the face like if you were blushing or strenuously exercising. The chest and neck could also be affected this way. Only a small percentage of Cialis users have reported flushing as a side effect. It usually subsides in a short time. If you are prone to flushing, reduce the risk by avoiding alcohol, spicy food, and caffeine.

Muscle and back pain
– Studies show that up to 10% of Cialis users will experience back pain, while muscular pain is also experienced by a small percentage of users including in the back and legs. Severe back pain was showed in the above study to impact less than 5% of users. The exact cause of this pain is unknown and is thought to be an effect of all PDE5 inhibitors. Reducing your dosage may assist in minimizing these side effects.

Indigestion
– All erectile dysfunction drugs can cause indigestion and heartburn due to the impacts on the muscle tissue. Stomach discomfort or stomach pain may also occur but usually subsides within a short time.
Some of the more concerning or serious side effects you might face when using Cialis include:

Vision changes
– Blurred vision, vision with a blue tinge and increased sensitivity to light are some of the vision-related side effects that have been reported with Cialis. In most people these are temporary. If you already suffer from disorders of the eye your doctor might recommend not using Cialis at all.
Hearing problems
– A rare, reported side effect is a sudden decrease in hearing or ringing in the ears. If this occurs, stop using Cialis right away and seek medical advice.

Prolonged erections
– Cialis is an ED drug, but its effects should be short term. If you notice painful or prolonged erections, stop using the drug.
Most mild and common side effects will subside on their own as Cialis has only a 17.5-hour half-life so is mostly gone from the system within 36 hours. If symptoms persist or if you experience more severe and uncommon symptoms, discontinue use immediately. If you are experiencing unwanted side effects but still wish to use Cialis for bodybuilding purposes, lower the dosage and avoid any dosage about 7.5mg per 24-hour period.
