Giving plasma affects on gains?

>>76418990 (OP)
Yeah. Negatively.

>>76418990 (OP)
bTW, giving blood and giving plasma are the same thing. They don't just suck out plasma only, they take blood and run it through a certerfuge to get the plasma at the top.

No idea about gainz though.

>>76418990 (OP)
imagine doin this willingly ngmi

>>76418990 (OP)
The pros are that it's one of the only ways to reduce microplasics in your blood. For some reason it reduces them even more than straight blood donations.
Cons are each liter of plasma contains like 70g of protein. I've known a lot of women who donate then are on deaths door for the next three days, personally, I've donated and gone straight to the the gym and hit prs after.
Probably don't make a habit of it.

>>76418997
They pump whats left from the centrifuge back into you. They also give you blood thinners to prevent clotting.

>>76418990 (OP)
Don’t they estimate it’s about -800 calories?

Also definitely take at least a day off from lifting, last time I gave blood I ate a bunch of chocolate and my blood pressure went too low, cut my face up when I passed out.

>>76419021
Removing micro plastics and forever chemicals seems like a pretty good deal. Plus getting paid $100 a session. Plus I hear it stimulates cell activity to replace what is lost. Yeah you lose calories + protein, so perhaps do it while starting a cut or getting off a bulk?

the person's life you save today could be a sex offender and that will be on you.

>>76419022
Maybe in some circumstances but I don't think they do that for just a regular donation. I'm not a doctor or a vampire though. I am a space alien though.

Former regular plasma donor here. It imposes some notable diet restrictions, you need to be drinking lots of water, and you feel like shit afterwards anyway.
>have to eat a big portion of protein, carbs, and fat right before so you don't get sick and pass out
>drink at least a gallon a day (normal), but you feel dehyrdated as shit after
>let them succ you
>have to refeed or spend the rest of the day trying to recover

Imagine donating blood to another man's child

>>76418990 (OP)
it takes away nutrients that you'll have to replace somehow.
>>76419077
they return the blood unless something goes wrong because it makes it easier for you to recover and be able to donate again sooner.

lol what a bunch of useless pussies you must be if you donate blood then lay around malnurished for days losing "muh gains".
I never encountered a bunch of frail weak bitches as on this shitty board.
very sad

>For some reason it reduces them even more than straight blood donations.
For an obvious reason. The microplastics and forever chemicals are in the fatty globules which reside in the plasma, and more importantly you can donate plasma twice a week vs every other month for whole blood, so you're dumping a much larger volume of shit.

Also plasma pays you so that's cool. I make like $500/month from it lol.

I don't get it.

the fact yall are defending it makes it even better KEK

Looks like we got us a plasma scientist here boys

Whuh?

>>76420092
It's like tipping the homeless before using the park gym equipment.

Your testosterone will tank hard for up to 2 weeks, that's definitely affecting ur muscle growth

>>76420100
Fuck, is that why everyone was glaring at me last week? I didn't even see that guy, so I just thought he finally bought a home and didn't need the cash anymore

>>76418990 (OP)
>bros will sucking my blood actually make me stronger!?
Probably not but keep doing it, thanks

>>76418990 (OP)
It gets PFAs out of your system but you can’t lift or exercise for a day or two after having holes in your arm
t. Donates whole blood pretty reliably

>>76419069
Kek

>>76420214
post your poor scar now

>>76418990 (OP)
is that a Rolex?

>>76418990 (OP)
>drive 30 minutes to donate plasma for the microplastic benefits
>they tell me my heart rate is too high (like 106 and the limit is 100)

>>76419741
Does it make your arm looks like you're a junkie?

>>76420674
its worse cause the needle they use is larger

Be honest - you're not giving it, you're selling it.
If you're at this level you're not eating right and little chance of a gym membership anyway.

>>76419434
that is literally the opposite scenario of pipe hitting you retard

>>76419434
>Imagine donating blood to another man's child

Imagine having free healthcare and just giving back some blood/plasma because you want to.

>>76419829
lol been donating regularly for some years now. Just sorta became habit.

>>76420674
Wellit's only a single spot since they go through the same hole every time, but sadly, yes. Looks like >>76419828
Could be avoided by switching up arms every now and then but I didn't bother. Oh well, it is what it is.

>>76420436
Yeah your HR has to be under 100 and your BP under like 200/100 or something lol. If you can't manage that you probably got some issues m8.

>>76419069
As if I needed more incentive to donate blood

>>76420436
>like 106 and the limit is 100
How is that possible if you exercise? My resting is sometimes below 60bpm because of all anaerobic cardio i do

>>76419741
Do you pay taxes on the income? The website for the local plasma centers say they issue a 1099-MISC if you get more than $600 in a year.

>>76419058
200 bucks a month can pay for gym membership plus creatine plus protein. Plus chinese testosterone. Donating blood is the perfect way to get shredded as a neet

>>76421202
lol
of course not
I've made just under $30k over the course of my current stint of donating. At one point I even had $10k on my plasma card cause I just let it pile up lol.

people used to take blood away for free for health reasons

>>76421429
200 bucks a month is nothing to me. It’s like saying I could be uncomfortable and give up my time and bodily fluids for pocket change. It also doesn’t pay my gym membership. Equinox master race.

>>76421819
I mean, the math is that it takes about an hour to donate. Not including travel time, that’s $100 an hour. 2 hours a week for a year is $10,400. That’s not pocket change for anyone on /fit/ and if it is, wtf is wrong with you? This is all for the equivalent of a 2 weeks worth of scrolling on your phone and feeling mildly uncomfortable, which you were going to be doing/feeling anyway.

>>76422072
More like $5200 a year since its drops to ~$50 a session after you are no longer a “new donor”. Still decent money know. May or may not be worth your time though.

>>76419021

It also removes PFAS and heavy metals in huge quantity.

There is only blood/plasma donation and fiber to help you to get rid of industrial toxins.

Thanks for the reminder. Scheduling my STD test now, stupid safe blood supply requirements. omg, you are fucking somebody new, you are unsafe now.

>>76420109
>Source: my ass

>>76420436
Kek I deal with this all the time.

>>76419021
I usually do it for 6 months then take a break. I also eat a shit ton of dairy and chugged water an hour before going

>>76421202
Nope no taxes. It’s counted as a gift and you can receive up to 19k per year in gift money

>>76419336
Literally none of those are correct, i just eat my normal rice and chicken or hamburgers before, mainly drink diet cokes, and have no weakness throughout the day with 800ml plasma sold

>>76422209
50 and 75, 2 times a week max and to incentivize the second donation which is why its higher than the 1st, 125 a week

>>76418992
You and anyone who agree with you are fucking retards.
>>76418990 (OP)
It doesn't, it can actually help.
>>76419021
>>76419058
This is how. And the protein it costs you is not a whole protein and can easily be replaced in a single meal. Just don't do it on gym days, low blood volume could cause issues.

>>76421819
>Equinox master race
Throwing money away on meme shit filled with faggots & dykes is not a flex.

>>76419336
>feel dehyrdated as shit after
Mkay, you're a lying faggot. They give you saline when they return the blood. You're WAY more hydrated than when you go in. People are getting unhooked and practically pissing themselves on the way to bathroom they're so hydrated. Also, you're not supposed to eat a big meal before hand because if your BP is too high you'll get rejected.

>>76420109
Total bullshit. Doesn't affect hormones at all, even if it did, what you lose is back in 2 fucking days.

Definitely only do it the day immediately before your next pin.

>>76419828
That's some mighty faggy logic you got there. You're on 4chan dumbass. High horses don't exist here.

I sell my blood to buy my estradiol.

>>76419069
>See ya later virgins

>>76419021
Fuck while donating blood seems cool I don't want to offload my Microplastics onto someone else.

>>76424304
It goes though processing afterwards, you wont. Most of it won't even go on as is, they can use it make synthetic blood.

Anyone else just go to these to see if they have hiv yet?

>>76421202
Legally, it must be reported but in general the bulk of people donating plasma have less income than the standard deduction for federal taxes. Some states like Ohio exempt blood and plasma donations from taxation. At that level, the IRS is unlikely to bother, even if you do go over the standard deduction.
There's also the issue of eligibility for food stamps, Medicaid, and other benefits programs. Food stamps in particular sees plasma as unearned income. Depending on the state, they can be very aggressive about going after you if you don't report your income from selling plasma. In general, for every three dollars you get from plasma sales, your food stamps are reduced by one dollar. If you don't report it and they find out about it, not only can they require you to pay it back, they can kick you out of the food stamp program, usually for three years.

>>76422367
the alternative is not reporting you sleep with anyone, tainting a batch of 1000 donations with HIV and getting banned from donating for life (happens all the time when homos don't disclose but are strapped for cash)

>>76424926
I chose the not a whore route. I know her history and when everyone involved had their last STD test. I also know when my last test was. It seems to be divorce season and everyone getting back on the market has been committed to one partner for years or decades. I don't lie on medical forms and I am not going to start now. I get the idea of the rule like most of these rules they are unrefined since people who would lie are going to no matter what.

>>76421811
Ironically enough, if you do have that issue where too much iron accumulates and the only way to get rid of it efficiently is blood letting, they will not let you donate lol.

>>76421819
The logic to me is I'm gonna be sitting around on my ass fucking off on my phone or reading a book anyway, so why not do it while getting paid?
Also some of the girls that work there are kinda cute and it's fun to flirt with them. They're all black tho.

>>76422072
It's not $100 per donation. Some have that as an introductory month then it goes down to $40~ per donation

i donate because
1. im broke
2. it forces me to eat better and drink more water
3. you allegedly burn more calories but i haven't seen any concrete proof that it burns anything substantial

>>76419021
>The pros are that it's one of the only ways to reduce microplasics in your blood

>>76427209

I doubt it's significant, consider the quantity of fat fucks I see at my location.

>>76427654
it might actually be significant, but the problem is, it's very easy to consume 500+ calories from a mere snack in the US. It's really hard to tell.
