Midblast..and you have to stop lifting temporarily
ad
I have been curious as to this scenario... if you are in the middle.of a cycle and you have to stop lifting for any number of reasons..injury, sick, unexpected surgery/vacation..do you continue the blast or just pull back a little? I'm talking about a temporary/unexpected stoppage.
For instance, I had a vasectomy on Friday and the Dr wants me to stop working out for 2 weeks but minimally at least 1 week. I'm in the middle.of...
500 test, 400 deca, 300 mast (1/2 dosage 2x a week)..so, I only pinned 125 test the first pin (gonna do 250 test only for the week). Most likely, only taking the week off.then get back at it. What do you guys do with an unexpected stoppage?

Thank you for the advice and input. All 3 compounds are long esters, so this week only, I will drop to the test only at 250 mg total. Then next week, go back to the cycle.
1 wk not a big deal. 2+ wks then I might think about aborting cycle. Health always comes first.
I usually stop and pct because it’s more important to heal properly. I’m not sure if there would be lasting effects from the surgery but if I can’t train at optimal capacity then there would be no reason to stay on gear. Illness is something different because you can somewhat still train after a week. See how you feel, you might feel fine after a week but if you can’t train like you usually would, I would pct. I’m also not sure the recovery period with this procedure or if there are others on this board who can provide feedback.
If it’s a week or two and you’re using long estered compounds I’d just carry on as you were and concentrate on diet sleep and maybe stretches. It’s not going to effect much by halving the dosage for a week or two as the dip will happen once you restart exercising. Maybe plan your operations to happen when your not on a blast if possible…
When I have an unexpected break ina cycle I think of three things when deciding wether to stop the gear or not. One is how long the break will be, Two is if I’m on long or short esters and Three is if the break is due to poor health or not. And then I just kinda weigh the pros and cons from there. If it’s along break and I’m on really short esters I might just cruise on some test and then start the cycle over when the break is up. The test/pct issue is another thing to consider. So you may want to keep test and drop other compounds, it really depends on each situation. Your on long esters and a short break so I don’t think either choice is a bad one. you could maybe skip a dose just to conserve a little but the half life is so long on stuff like deca it won’t make a big difference.
