Does test give you back pumps?
ad
I am a the beginning of the 6th week of a test e cycle at 500 mg a week. The pumps in my lower back are fuckin excruciating. After one or two sets of heavy deads or squats I have to lay down between sets to try and make then go away, anybody else get this? And is there anything I can take for it? I tried taurine but didn't really do much

Ive never noticed back pumps on injectables, only orals. Even now, current stack is 600 Test, 450 NPP, 500 Masteron a week.
As people said below, its always about kidneys. Taurine helped me when I did get them with orals, but Id have to take a good 5g of it.
A more natural diet to reduce sodium is really the ticket IMO. Borrowing ideas from paleo, eating fresh, natty stuff without all the preservatives, and artificial BS, has really helped me out in the past ~year. and getting most of my carbs from fruts and veggies, rather than more conventional BB staples like rice or maybe breads and pastas. I dont go full paleo though, I still eat beans, and I love milk too much to give it up totally.
Good post!
Less salt, more water, eat a couple of bananas (potassium). Should help.
I always get back pumps on cycle. No matter what I run. It's fairly common place. I always drink plenty of water. It seems to help. Also I keep my salt intake lower as was mentioned in the above post.
I get that too. Mine is from chiropractic issues though. When I wear a belt it helps but when I undo it.......wow thumpin!!!!
AnonI wear a belt but it doesn't seem to help much
what else are you taking?
AnonNothing. Just test
How active have you been prior to this?
AnonVery active. Lifting 4-5 times a week and wrestling twice a week
Idk then bro. High levels of dht's do that to me, but never test or 19's (which are relatively new to me).
I would get them sometimes when I'd been sedentary for a while and then getting back into the gym. In this case it's a matter of weak spinal erector muscles, which need to be targeted in order to strengthen.
One thing to consider is micronutrient imbalances and/or kidney issues. Kidney pain can sometimes be mistaken for lower back pain. How's the water intake? Also, fruit juice or fresh fruit intake? Both of these can make a huge difference in the case of kidney issue and micronutrient imbalances.
Both sodium and potassium play vital roles for healthy muscle function on a cellular level. Imbalances can cause problems with normal contractions, and the loss of either causes a simultaneous loss of the other.
If potassium would be an issue, it may not even be caused my deficient intake. An example would be excessive sodium intake. Sodium is used so commonly in everything, since it is the cheapest preservative. Therefore, reaching excessive levels is rather easy to do. Now, your kidneys are charged with the task of removing this from the blood stream. This action is turned on by a specific hormone (which is have to reference to list). Sodium sensitive people have BP issues due to the kidneys lacking responsiveness to the hormone or lacking the hormone itself. Eventually, it is excreted.
Two things happen when sodium is excreted. 1) water follows by osmosis, since this is a hydrophilic micronutrient. 2) potassium follows as well, thereby causing is decrease in potassium available to or in the cells.
Supplementing potassium may or may not correct, granted this is the cause of your problem. Then again, decreasing sodium intake could also be just as, if not more, effective.
Just some food for thought... Hope it helps
Nice! I always learn a thing or two when you post. +1.
