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,

In the latest issue of Outside Magazine, there is an article by a middle-aged guy who went on a drug program (Steroids, HGH, EPO, etc) under a doctor's supervision just to see what would happen to his athletic ability (he did cycling, mainly). Bottom line is that it worked quite well. A really interesting article that would have been better if there were better measurements (timed exhaustion, strength gains and the like) and not just anecdotal evidence.
The guy who wrote that was interivewed by Terry Gross on NPR. She asked interesting questions; a few were: when he began to do better, did he feel it was the drug or was it him? How did he feel when he did so well on that long bike ride he had been training for?
His response (and I paraphrase) was that a strange thing happened; he got the drugs and himself mixed up and that he had a sense that it was his own ability that made him go faster.
On his success for the bike ride, he said he was disappointed in himself. He couldn't tell if it was his ability or the drug. He wanted to believe it was his training and ability, but when it came down to it, he couldn't.
It was a fascinating interview.
