Your question was: Can you get pure hoodia in a VitaminShoppe store?.

Thanks Neil +funbos for that ,it is what I thought a bit unsure as to what Neil said regarding legs taking the strain off the heart.(although reading many of your posts Neil you have loads of knowledge you know your stuff)Neil I would be interested if you could give me your opinion on a new topic I posted regarding deca/sustanon/test enan.Thanks mate much appreciated if you have the time to answer this...

If taking gear can cause cardiac hypertrophy...does that mean lifting weights withour gear can cause it as well because your heart still has to pump really hard?.

Also, how would increasing cardio minimise this?...I fail to understand that bit..

I am unhappy to learn that Im killing myself when I thought I was getting fitter..

How do those of you who take gear minimise this?..

Yes, but to a lesser extent..

It is typically the diffence in strengths of the different heart chanbers that causes the problems, the left ventricle that pushes the blood out of the heart can decome disproportionately stronger than the atrium that recieves the blood which is where the problems arise. Cardio helps balance the strength of the atrium, therefore enabling it to withstand the higher pressure blood recieved from a stronger ventricle.

That is why regular cardio is essential if you have any care for your health. Balance is the key..

I must stress however, that when I refer to cardio in this scenario, I am not refering to the 'Fat burning' cardio that bodybuilders typically do that is of a higher intensity. I refer to prolonged cardio sessions whereby heart rate is kept to 60-70%, i.e - long walks in the countryside type of thing..

Hope this helps to clear thinks up a bit..

Was it not true that when Jon Paul Sigmarrson died at 30 his heart was three times the size it should have been ? If you play with fire you get burnt...
