I chose to do a Power Red Donation for no other reason than there was no appointment available for standard donation for the time I had available. I liked the idea of really reducing RBC because I seem to produce a lot of them even at mild or HRT levels.
I am not sure I would recommend it. I donated on Wednesday and didn't train again until Saturday. Wow, what a plunge in recovery between sets! My first sets were pretty normal but 2nd, 3rd and 4th sets were seriously reduced reps. I had a tough time between movements too. I took an extra 30 minutes to do my work out and I still don't feel that I got out of it what I normally would. I took yesterday off and will hit it again tonight. I will post and update on improvement or lack thereof.
