Broken bone on cycle - advice needed

[Rugger1892]

Hi guys,
I'm currently 3 weeks in to a 10 week Test E 500mg a week cycle. I've just broken my leg. I was wondering whether it is wise to keep going for the next 7 weeks? I'm going to have to have surgery in the next week and will have to take a week off lifting. Thoughts?

If you can't lift, I would recommend ending your cycle now.

I'm going to be unable to lift for 1 week but will be able to continue lifting upper body after that. Do you think I should end the cycle now?

Why not just stop now and wait until you are healthy again? Then you can really get the benefits of your cycle.

Run PCT of course.

I was more thinking that it'd help stop as much atrophy in my leg whilst injured. I play my sport at quite a high level so this injury has really messed up a lot of plans I had. I can afford another cycle if I need it after my legs healed. Or do you think that I must stop the cycle currently?

Sounds like you are set on continuing. Just remember to recalc your calories.

In terms of upping them to promote bone healing or lowering them because of my lower activity level?

I was thinking lower due to less activity. You dont want to get fat.

Mega is right you would need to lower it to adjust for the lack of exercise. Unless you are one of the guys who never do a leg day anyway ;-)

In theory the test should help prevent the Atrophy but it isn't a miracle. In medicine Anavar and Deca were commonly used to prevent muscle wasting in the elderly or sick after surgery. Remember though they are gauging it from a medical stand point. Don't expect to keep all of your just because you are on a cycle.

Make sure you are following the recovery your DR is proposing. The last thing you want to do is damage something because you rushed back into training. The body does funny things when you make it panic by stressing it when it is attempting to heal.

Fellas, thanks for the reply. I'll make sure I adjust so I dont stack on too much fat. Appreciate your replies.
