Got the test flu bad---need help!!!

[ROID_MAN]

I got the test flu pretty good right now. I took my first shot on Monday and it was 1000mg's to front load. Even if I took a normal dose I still get the test flu anyways.

My question is I am suppose to take a shot tomorrow, so should I front load again being my 2nd shot on this cycle or what? If so will it make the test flu worse?

I would drop it down to 750mgs. Basically your body saying is saying "whoa what the hell just entered me?" It's a normal thing. It should go away very quickly. Wait it out. It will be worth it those gains.

Some believe that the flu is caused by excessive amounts of bacteria and try and bake their gear, a practice I have never tried. Do some research on that if your symptoms don't disappear soon.

Do you have a fever and are you taking test alone?

Well so take 750mg's tomorrow when I am do for another shot? Is that still like front loading or what? I don't have a fever it's just a acey body pretty much.

yeah it's front loading but because you're reacting the way you are it doesnt make sense to take another 1000mgs. IMO It doesnt make sense to beat your body down that hard. it's like pyramiding down to the regular dose.

Oh ok cool. So this should be the last time I take a higher dose correct? Any idea how much quicker it will be in my system as to not ever front loading?

jesus 1000 thats funny ..but hey ...how ya feeln now?>

I assume you're taking a longer chain ester like enanthate, cypionate, decanoate, isocaproate etc... for these I think front loading is a good idea.
Basically, test attached to its ester is inert - unuseable by the body. Only free test (test without its ester) is useable. Therefore, with a longer chain ester such as those previously mentioned, it takes more time for the ester to be cleaved off (hence the longer half lives of those esters), releasing free test (again, the useable form of test). Therefore, at the beginning of a cycle, to speed up the rate at which blood concentrations of free test are optimal, you frontload. Without knowing your stats, which ester you're on, your current free test levels and not being a doctor, it's hard to say exactly how much quicker it will be in your system but trust me, it will help.

Feeling better not but I just took another 750mg's so we will see.

Hey Ok cool sounds good. Thanks for the info.

 

[onebigbear]

No prob. Good luck.

Just a ? though. I started my cycle on Monday but have only been able to goto the gym like twice since then because of the test flu keeping me down. Is that bad you think?

 

[incognitomosquito]

I am prone to that also, quite frequently in fact. I don't think the flu is caused by bacteria, but the introduction of foreign material (i.e. testosterone to the body). I have used fake gear in the past, and later noticed that I never got the flu, so I look at the flu as a positive or kind of as a litmus. Usually the stronger the amount or quality of test, the same goes for the flu symptoms. Growth and strength also reflective during cycle.

Ibuprofen seems to help with the aches and pains, 800 mgs 2x a day, and I am all "G". For some reason Ibuprofen really works better than other NSAIDS like Naproxem, or Acetominephen (ph), and seems easier on the stomach Good luck.

All good to know so thanks for that info.

What about I have only worked out twice since I started my cycle, which was 4 days ago. Can't workout when I feel such like crap.
