Test E & Dbol - Domination Time

TommyTrainR said:
Yeah, the weight is going up each week which is great to see. Today I weighed in at 191.0 lbs. but that's fine. I'm expecting some fluctuation during the weeks. Today is my first day without the dbol. I feel a little more energetic and positive overall. There is no question im gaining size. I can see it whenever I look in the mirror and other are noticing as well. Strength is up almost every time I step into the gym.

One negative note is a slight pain/uncomfortable feeling in my left shoulder more posterior. Not sure if I pulled one of my rotator cuffs or what, but my range of motion is slightly limited and today when I was doing DB flies on flat bench, it hurt a little but pain went away during the 2nd and 3rd set. Hopefully it's something temporary. I'll take some ibuprofen in a bit.

Good to hear about the weight and that you still feel good coming off the dbol.

As for the shoulder. It could be scapular flaring going on. Get in the push up position either on the wall or floor and have someone look at your shoulder blades. If one is flared out (it will be at the medial spine of the scapula) that is the problem. Easy fix. You will need to work on the following....
middle and lower trap, rhomboid major/minor, and serratus anterior. The middle trapezius and rhomboid muscles function to retract the scapula. Scapular retraction is the action of squeezing your shoulder blades together. The lower trapezius takes care of scapular depression which is drawing the scapula down the thorax. The task of serratus anterior is to hold the scapula’s medial border tight to the thorax. Do simple shoulder exercises everyday before training. you should be good to go within a week. And don't have to slow down on training.

By reducing the flaring....the shoulder pain should go away. Sorry for the technical crap but I know how injuries suck! I work on them all the time and been thru myself.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Here is a case study if you want any more info.

great info. thanks! I work at an orthopedic rehab center in the meantime before i head off to med school this fall so lucky for me, i can have one of the doctors check me out at anytime and get their two cents about it. I have a feeling it's just a slight strain on the muscle. i have almost full range of motion with little to no pain but there is some discomfort. ill keep an eye on it in the upcoming days.
 
Wow 4 weeks almost a 15lb gain..pretty impressive.
If I wanna catch up I better get my ass in the kitchen right now, hah
so between what days would you say you were feeling the effects of the DBol the greatest?
I ran Var a few months back and remember between days 20-30 were the best. I'm wondering if it will be the same for the DBol. What'ya think?

Thanks Mgunz! I gotta start packing on the calories and protein. I've been slacking the past couple days. As for the dbol, I'd say I started to feel it's greatest effects from the 2nd week on. It was most noticeable during the 2nd and 3rd weeks. Pumps were intense and strength shot up, so I'd say days 14-28. This isn't to say I didn't feel it prior to day 14, but I feel as though this specific time frame yielded the best results in pumps and strength/mass increases.
 
Shoulder is feeling better. Woke up today at 190.0 lbs. Eating like a beast the past few days and am still continuing to do so. Hopefully the scale starts showing some gains!!

yeh dude, thats what i remember most about that bar, is all the fuckin' clowns. luckily the other bar doesn't have that.
 
Woke up today at 190.0 lbs. Seems to be holding steady there for a few days. Disappointing not seeing the weight go up. I'm going to try my best to increase my cals/protein intake. Strength is still on the rise and I'm feeling good. Keeping my fingers crossed the scale starts showing some gains!!
 
Week 5 Recap

Duration: 3/7/10 - 3/14/10


Starting Weight: 180.0
Week 1 Weight : 183.5
Week 2 Weight : 188.0
Week 3 Weight : 188.0
Week 4 Weight : 193.0
Week 5 Weight: 192.0

Net Weight Gain: 12.0 lbs.

Decent week when all is said and done. Although the scale indicated I lost weight (one pound), I feel bigger. When I weighed in at 193.0 lbs, I was holding some water, so I was probably really closer to 190.0. Anyhow, a 12 lb. weight gain through 5 weeks is pretty decent. I'm going to up the calories this week and see where it takes me. Had solid workouts as of late and I feel pretty good overall.

Cons
None


Pros
Vascular
Increase in strength
