Calvare2's Log (Naps+Astro)

Update-
Finally got a good nights sleep and I feel good :D. Injected today in the morning:
Test 250mgs- 1ml
Nandrolone Deconate 125mgs- .5ml
Took my preworkout:
30mgs of D-bol, 200mgs of caffeine
.... and headed out for the gym. Even though I didn't get a new PR, the weights felt lighter []==[]. I was having such a good time at the gym I didn't want to leave LOL.
 
Watching the colts, texans game, what a comeback from the colts (texans were leading by 18 in the half) :eek:. Today when I was getting ready to pin, I made a bad move and decided to skip heating the oil. After a couple hours from pining I got some pip and now I remember how it feels, not good LOL.

Have been hearing many guys experiencing back pumps especially on orals but not sure if I have experienced them. Every time I do deadlifts my lower back starts to hurt and it doesn't go away unless I sit down on the leg press. My question is, could this be back pumps or is it just strain on my back?

If the pain subsides within a few minutes it is a back pump. They get bad if you try working through them, they are a very unpleasant annoyance but nothing like a real lower back injury. Depending on how much weight I'm lifting they can last like 4 or 5 minutes and then I do my next set. I go sit down on a bench with perfect posture till they go away. I think the more you round your back (bad form) the worst they are, like when I deadlift or squat and get lazy and don't keep my back tight, I notice the back pumps get much worst.
 
Update-
Waking up I didn't feel so good, though I was getting sick (body hurt and was feeling hot). Took two ibuprofen and the ache in my body went away and didn't come back. I had some HW to do that day and though I wasn't going to go to the gym. Finished my physic homework at 9:00pm and changed my mind and went to the gym. I took 30mgs of D-bol and decided to skip the caffeine. Felt unusually good and I think the gear might be kicking in.
Deadlift day:
Warm up- 135x5, 315x1, 405X1
Working sets: 495x2, 545x2, 585x1 (fail, two attempts)
I tried 585 twice for a PR but only got 4/5ths of the way and couldn't lock it out. I was mad that I couldn't lock it out :banghead:, but was happy that I could even lift that much weight of the floor :D. Probably will incorporate rack pulls if this continues to be a problem.
 
Probably what I have been experiencing have been back pumps, but the weird part is this time when I deadlifted I didn't experience them (maybe because of low reps).

I injected yesterday in the morning again (Test 250mgs + Deca 125mgs). Good news didn't really get pip this time, I stopped being lazy and actually heated the oil [:o)] (Wow heating the oil and not heating it made the world of difference). Went to the gym in the afternoon to hit legs. Got up to 405lbs on the squat with no pain in my chest area, so good news :D and decided to stop to give it more time to heal. Being noticing more sides like my scrotum getting smaller and a pimple on my back.

Nice pulls!
 
Thanks, I was actually going to try to match my PR on that day on the deadlift but said fuck it and added an extra wheel to the bar (for a total of 6).
 
Update-
Whent to the gym today and wasn't feeling the beast but got a solid workout in. I got a PR on the deadlift 565lbs for 1 and tried a different squat technique. On the squat I tried low bar and got up to 500lbsx2 on squat and no pain, so I'm very happy I can go heavy on squats again.
