Have any of you had any experience with NO2? My weight lifting friends swear by it. I'm a little anxious about trying it.
NO2 is a hemodialator from MRI. Its supposed to open the blood vessels, thereby increasing circulation, healing, etc. According to my weight lifting friends (and the little book I bought) NO2 is the best thing to come along in a long time.
Thanks,

Through time there is always some new drug out there that supposedly helps performance and doesn't cause negative health consequeces. These drugs are stupid to try, and should be avoided at all costs no matter what the marketing adds say, and no matter what other people at the gym say.
Know better, be smarter.
Swimming is not a sport where one needs to be juiced up. In fact, no sport requires juicing. Just ask Arnold, who had his heart valve replaced due to ill effects of steroids--sure he was big, but also risked his life.
Also, I train at a very serious gym where most people (including women) are competitive bodybuilders. These people are nuts--and I don't mean with intensive training. They are nuts with all of the supplements they take (non steroid). They take a minimum of 40 to 48 pills a day--8 with every meal, and there are 5 to 6 meals a day! Every time I turn around someone is cramming pills in their mouth. It is absurd.
Also, the average life expectancy of bodybuilders is 56 years old. Severe fluctuation in body weight and body fat causes heart disease...and in fact, many bodybuilders die early due to heart disease. So, don't do what your bodybuilding friends do.
Think about it. Is swimming a slightly faster 50 once in a blue moon worth the high risk of heart disease, or other health problems?
Get real! Your bodybuilding friends aren't thinking long term. Plus, tomorrow they'll be swearing by some other drug.
