+ 1 Have to stop lifting for a week. Need advice...

ad

I'm two weeks into a cycle of Test E 500/week and Equipose 500/week. Today I found out I need immediate dental surgery and the dentist already told me "absolutely no training" for 7 days. No carido, weights, nothing.
My question is, should I keep pinning at the normal dose? Even though I won't be able to train for 7 days? Or, should I pin a lesser amount? Your thoughts are appreciated.

My stats: 50 yoa, 11% BF, 195 lbs. This is my second cycle.

Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!

Continue your cycle. You will probably feel better in less than 7 days to get back into the gym. Doctors seem to overstate things. I have done root canal and still go to the gym the same day despite what I was told. No pain no gain.

Thanks all. I decided to agree with your advice & keep pinning at the normal dose. It's very strange to be pinning and doing no excercise. Still, it's only 7 days total I'll miss from the gym. So all is not lost in this cycle. Thanks again!

I would listen to the boys! No need to stop

I'd keep pinning at the same dose but I would stop working pit for the week. The reason for the time off is usually to prevent dry sockets after an extraction and to be able to use the pain medication which would make it hard to workout . If you can deal with the pain and not take the pain killers then of say go ahead and workout but use a mouth piece while doing it to keep yourself aware and help prevent suctionon your mouth to avaiod a dry socket . Either way you don't want to stop the cycle because it will lower your levels and you'll have to take a week or two to get back to where you were and that's a waste of a cycle in my opinin

50 years old, 2nd cycle.This is the new standard people lol

I would keep pinning though, and I would train also, I never listened to the shit my dentist said, especially "no smoking after this tooth extraction for at least a few days" I would light up the second I left and was always GTG. Lol.

But seriously though, if you have to take a week off, makes no sense why you would stop pinning or lessan dosages

yes keep pinning to keep your levels the same!!!! 7 days of no lifting just rest but defiantly keep you same cycle

Keep pinning. Watch the diet and sodium intake. It will do your joints a world of good to take a week off.
