Alright All,
I was a good football, baseball player in HS. I was offered scholarships for both, particularly baseball which I got D1 offers from Purdue, PSU, Pitt and many D2 for both sports. I ended up being offered a full ride from the USMC via the ROTC program at UPENN. To cut to the chase, I fell off of the stairway to heaven on a field ex. I severely herniated my disc at l5s1, so no more USMC for me. No scholarship=no college.
I finally got back into school this past semester and got straight A's. So everything is rock and roll except my back. Two years after the injury I had tried every therapy, epidurals, yatayatayata... I FINALLY was able to have the surgery (procedure was done 12/26/2013). Probably a lot of you have/are currently going through disc herniation or other problems. So this could be a useful log for you. I also work at a chiropractic therapy office to make money for school, so I have experience and some expertise in the matter. Questions welcomed.
Now that the microdiscectomy is finished, and I feel nearly as good as I did in high school however I still have 3 more weeks before I am allowed to do any real work in the gym. I have my 4th cycle on the way and am psyched about it. After 6 months without being able to lift heavy, I'm 6'1", 205 lbs down from 225 at the end of my last cycle. First tren run. I'm thinking 100 mg's EOD combined with 60 mg's EOD test prop (that's the proportions it comes in [premixed in vial]).
I'll try to post as much as possible and get some B&A pics up. I intend to lift often but obviously for the next 6months to a year deadlifts and squats will be light or even non existent, I suppose that we will see how I feel. To compensate for the lack of these lifts I am going to be using machines (yay -_- ) for my legs and probably being creative with my lower back (hey if anyone has some good lifts for my purposes, let me know!). But upper body should be gtg. Wish me luck and I hope that you all enjoy it and can get some insight into your own cycles/ injury recoveries.
