TRT Patient doing first REALLY big cycle...

[BigBoy_21]

Ok so a few updates...those last two post were my workouts from Tuesday and Thursday.

Was starting to feel incredibly strong and liking the way my body is changing.....then I was doing legs on Thursday and was in my 4th squat set and 3/4 up on a rep my quad popped loud and hard. Intense pain almost immediately and now a dent and very limited mobility. Went to the dr and they think I tore my vastus lateralis.

I’m headed to the surgeon on Wednesday to try to asses how bad the tear is and if it is doing to require surgery. Hoping and praying it’s only partially tore and will heal on it’s own!

Kinda late but I’m in man. How’s the leg doing? Injuries always suck but glad to see you still training away. That takes balls bro. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for jumping in man! Was wondering if anyone was even reading this. lol

The leg feels better today than it has the past few days. I’m definitely going to keep training whatever I can. I go to see a orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday to asses how bad it is and what needs to be done next.

Also here is a pic of my wife and her results 4 weeks into her Anavar/Clen cycle. Her very first cycle and she is doing amazing. Same source as mine.

Wish you well with your doc appointment. Don’t let the injury get you down. Can always be worse.

Quadricep Update:

Went and see the surgeon yesterday and had some test ran. He said I tore the vastus lateralis but the muscle is still attached. Which is GREAT news. No surgery required. Lots of fluid and blood still in the quad but I am starting some meds for 3 weeks and then PT for 4 weeks after that.

So 8 weeks without hitting legs!!!! That sucks but it is better than 4 months and a complete shutdown.

Tore it a week ago today and today is the first day it has started to bruise.

That’s great news. Happy for you. The gh should help in healing.

So Far So Good:

Here is a quick update on the cycle so far...about 3 full weeks in. The good the bad and the ugly.

The Good:

Increase sense of well being.

Strength is really starting to tick up. It is hard to keep up with the strength gains.

Increased vascularity. Im not sure I have ever been this veiny. Not sure if this is because of the EQ or something else since generally EQ takes a while to really kick in.

INCREASED LIBIDO!! lol I am so glad my wife is on a Anavar cycle and we are very in sync or one of us would be really annoyed all the time. lol

Muscle hardness. I had this last time I did Tren A...seems like the muscles are just harder and more full than ever before.

The Bad:

Size gains. I haven't been putting on a lot of weight. I feel like I look better and bigger but the scales have barely moved. 248-->251 I was wanting to hit 270 by the end of this run. lol I better really ramp up the diet.

Wrist and thumb pain. Im assuming this is from the GH (4iu) per day. My inner wrist and the bottom of my thumbs are aching always.

Pin cushion syndrome I am injecting 6 days a week (microdosing) this has kept a lot of the sides at bay but man it sucks to dread each night because you are looking for a non sore spot to shoot up.

Suppressed appetite. Just never feel super hungry and I could go hours without eating, I don't but I could. Anadrol?

The Ugly:

Nothing has crept into this category yet. It is still very early and I expect the next few weeks to really start to shape up and all the compounds to kick in. This week was different than last and I expect next week to really ramp up.

Thanks for following along!

That’s great news. Happy for you. The gh should help in healing.

I think it has...I have been pinning my IGF-1 there also instead of doing muscle specific. Thought that might help recruit new cells to help repair the damage.

Really ramping up now it feels. Weights are feeling lighter each week and pumps are getting more intense. Today was...

Nudes would be nice. It's for... Science?
How many cals do you hit daily and what does your final macro count typically look like?
