My situation.

[anzel]

I`m on my 1st cycle. Took my 12th pin 1 week ago and I am preparing for post cycle therapy (pct) starting next week.

By week 10 or 11 I had shoulder pain/ early onset of elbow tendonitis and a strained tricep. Also had some rough leg workouts with a cramping & tight back.

Obviously the Test improved my strength but my joints are just taking a beatin. After 6 months of hard training to maximize gains I have started to get beat up a little.
My concern was that by the time post cycle therapy (pct) starts I would be too f`d up to keep up the intensity. So I took the hint from my body and have been resting for close to a week. I am doing better but not 100%.

It sucks having to rest while on cycle but I feel I have no choice. post cycle therapy (pct) is important to be fullfilled properly. I put on about 18 lbs this cycle & I want to keep as much as I can.
Pretty soon my strencght is gonna start slipping due to the test leaving my system. so should I decrease the weight I lift right off the bat or feel it out as I go?? I just dont want to get stuck doing weight thats to much & then getting injured to the point that I cant train properly.

dont just start dropping the weight if you dont need to. during PCT you need to work as hard if not harder than when you're on. if your joints are bothering then then try Cissus or joint support from trueprotein. as far as the cramping, what does your sodium, potasium, and fluid intake look like? and are you also using creatine?

I`ll get some joint support, thanx! As far as the cramping is concerned I drink lots of water and my sodium is also good. At 1st when I started my cycle I kept sodium low but I increased it as I relized I wasnt really retaining alot of fluid. I get my potasium from yams , Nanans , multi vit, and from my whey shakes. Periodically my back just gets tight as hell!! Its one of those things.
