Effect on Cycle

The effects of Viagra are once again simple: the individual does not have the ability to produce or maintain an erection and Viagra provides the ability. However, it cannot be stressed enough that this only pertains to those with blood flow issues. If the ED issue is based on a hormone deficiency the use of Viagra or any PED5 may not help.

In other cases, it may require both the use of hormone therapy and PED5 medication. Some individuals may also find the issue is psychologically related. Mental related ED is not uncommon and is not a blood flow or hormone issue. Others may find their issue surrounds stress to the CNS or worse and at times without remedy due to testicular or penile damage.

Cialis vs Viagra:

Viagra is a world-famous drug for ED and like Cialis, it is extremely effective in supporting men with erectile dysfunction. But can it also be used for bodybuilding? Viagra is a legitimate competitor with Cialis when it comes to bodybuilding.

If you must choose between these two, is Cialis or Viagra better for bodybuilding? Is there much difference between the two?

Both Cialis and Viagra are in a category of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. This impacts blood flow and causes relaxation of the blood vessel walls. While originally and medically intended to assist with penile blood flow, Cialis and Viagra can also optimize blood flow to the muscle tissue in other parts of the body, increasing nutrient delivery and enhancing pumps.

Just like Cialis, Viagra has also shown to provide a mild boost to testosterone in older men. This is unlikely to be a benefit to younger men. Cialis has the additional benefit of improving the balance of testosterone to estrogen, and this is a critical factor for bodybuilders who need to keep estrogen levels under control (especially when using steroids). For many guys this benefit alone will be enough to select Cialis over Viagra.

When it comes to side effects, both drugs are in the same class so side effects are quite similar and unlikely to be a factor in your decision. As with any medication, individual reactions differ, and you might find that one or the other is a better tolerated by your body.

Viagra is often thought to work faster than Cialis, but both drugs have a similar acting time, and both can begin kicking in as soon as 30 minutes after taking your dose. Some men will find it takes a little longer – but Cialis reaches its peak levels in the body around the 2-hour mark so there’s plenty of time to enjoy its effects during your workout.

Viagra also leaves the body much quicker – just 12 hours compared with 36 to 48 hours for Cialis because Viagra has a half-life of just 4 hours, while 17.5 hours is the half-life of Cialis. For most bodybuilding use, this difference will be of little concern as both drugs have considerably shorter half-lives than most steroids you may be accustomed to using.

Both Cialis and Viagra have potential benefits for bodybuilders and athletes with each coming with their own small number of advantages. The one you select will likely depend on availability and any side effects that present to you as an individual.
