Insane lower back pump on leg day

[kosp]

Hello,

today I was doing leg day and just when I was doing the warm up sets of squats I began to feel a lower back pump that was becoming stronger as I was going into the workout.

In the end it was so strong pump that I had to lower the weights drastically to keep going.

I am 2 weeks into Oxandrolone 40mg ED and 500mg of test cyp.

Is this normal with oxandrolone?

I can’t do orals for this very reason. They all give me crippling low back pumps to the point where I can’t train effectively.

Haven’t noticed this with any injectables, regardless of dosage.

Pretty typical for many people. IIRC taurine? can help.

reduce carb intake
hydrate more
taurine like said
no orals
add cardio
something to reduce estrogen
and a natural diuretic supplement to rid water

What does estrogen have to do with overwhelming pumps?

anyway i will lower the test dose and add mast E instead, so I won´t be having E2 sides anymore, my cycle looks like this:

It can contribute to holding water

Pwo? Is it not better pre workout to avoid the crippling pumps?
