AnonFight through it.
If it is serious, go to a doctor and continue on from there..
its time to man up and make the commitment. Tread said it very nicely!!
tread-mSo why would you end your cycle and stay out of the gym? I'll just give you my take on this and it may be worth exactly what it cost you in the end. This is not for everyone and in fact I see many say take off and relax etc when you don't feel good and I know Gotheven does that from time to time and I think he has success with it...however, I made a comittment to myself a long time ago, it was this....I'm in this, period. So if I have a hurt arm I only work legs and do cardio. If I have a hurt leg, I work upper etc. I recently had a serious lung infection and a cough for 4 + weeks, crazy as hell but I missed maybe 2 days the entire illness. 2 antibiotics, an inhaler and 2 doc visits, many rough nights...no excuses is how I play. I watch guys come and go year after year and its because they find one excuse and the next is a little easier and easier and..... Have a friend who is a competitor, tore a ham and continued to work the other leg for 2 months and whe n it was over the other leg caught up over night. Its that thinking for me brother. Not putting that on you but in my view this is a very small thing, how many very small things are going to keep you out of the gym? Now this may be more than the thread I saw where you had the little arm infection and if so then I apologize. Nasty nate just had surgery, back in the game! Now I'm not saying there is never an excuse but I am saying if there is "ANYTHING" YOU CAN DO IN THE GYM, YOU DO IT. THats my opinion and I don't mean it to be harsh but this is not easy unless you fall in love with it sk you have to ask yourself if thats where you are. If not the n you forget all about gear and get into some low level working out or cardio or whatever. Gear outside of trt is for very serious people and I have to qestion how serious you are? No offense intended so don't take it that way, just trying to get you to think about it.
Tread u hit it on the head. I love pushing myself to the limit. In and out of the gym. I'm ready to jump my nephew for his happy meal! It's been so long since I've had a pig out:( but I know that I was cursed with an endomorph on the inside of me so my diet is my key to success. I do it cuz this thing of ours is my religion. I am to the point where training is second nature and eating well, proportionate and
diversified isn't the prison it used to be. Regarding the original point u made tho is valid cuz the cellulitis shouldn't stick around for more than a few days after the commencement of antibiotics. Ive had it and it was gone in 2-3 days, I think he will be fine to keep going.
I 100% agree. This (AAS) is a HUGE commitment, and I dont think a lot of ppl realize that. Most are young guys who just want a beach body for the ladies, the other is ppl who just want to lose weight for looks. Both of those can be acheived naturally with hard work in the gym and kitchen and trust me im not one of those guys preaching 'its all about diet' but in some cases it is. I speak from experience also, I myself was once that young buck at nineteen yrs old wanting a hot body for some pussy, luckily I only did a cpl small test only cycles and didnt fuck my body up. Ten yrs later my motives have changed, but im in it for the long run, im all about trying to be the best I can be inside and out of the gym and AAS fascinates me, it always has. I still havent done anything besides different esters of test, and will continue to take it slow. I mean shit, im still young enough to really take my body to the next level and compete in the future if I wanted to, but for now I do this for myself, for the strength and health. I really been practicing what u told me tread and ive been eating around 1.5 lbs of meat a day like we talked about. I love AAS and lifting and im gonna be in the gym as long as I can.
Btw barbellboy, thats good that u asked about the infection yesterday, everyone told u to check it out and u took the advice and saw the doctor and it turned out to really be celluitis, now think if you didnt ask anyone and just left it alone and it got worse? It couldve gotten very ugly. Im glad u took advice bro that is what eroids is all about, helping each other. Good shit brother, now take ur antibiotics and get back in the gym! Lol
drrockzoI mostly agree with this. I only occasionally take a week off. But that is extremely rare.
tread-mThats good dr. I look at life like this. We are defined by who we are when things get tough, not when they are easy.
It is for sure an infection? You went to the doc? what did you tell him/her and what did they say? Im curious in case this ever happens to me or someone I know.
beavisI got a harsh ass case of cellulitis on this cyle I just finished and I told the Doctor exactly what it was from. It was very hot to the touch swollen like a mofo, red, and looked like cottage cheese. Started on my ass and crept around to my hip.. Doc gave a shot and some antibiotics and after a week it went away, I muscled through it and so should be done with case, it's not THAT bad.
+2 from me. What do the docs say when you tell them what its from. Prolly give you a whole shpeel about how bad they are but they don't put that on your record or anything do they?
beavisNaw, not at all, he actually gave me advice on how to further prevent this from happening again, which I already new through my own research. He also complimented me on my being honest with him which is something that you need to be doing when you are hitting your body with things that can fuck you up...had to do this one other time about 12 years ago when I took 3 pills of some potent ass ecxtasy and ended up in the e-room....dumbshit
