Day 2:
Sunday November 26, 2006
No change and no noticeable effects.
Day 3:
Monday November 27, 2006
No change and no noticeable effects.
Day 4:
Tuesday November 28, 2006
Balls are hanging a little bit more but they are still retracted. I did notice a semi-rigid hard-on in the morning. Aside from that nothing substantial.
Day 5:
Wednesday November 29, 2006
No change
Day 6:
Thursday November 30, 2006
Ball sac is definitely hanging lower. Very noticeable. In the evening I was horny. Not though the roof. I have notice more energy and I note that Wednesday and tonight I can’t get to sleep. Despite getting little or no sleep all week I should be passing out but I have noticeable higher energy levels.
Day 7:
Friday December 1, 2006
Woke up with large morning wood and horny. I am a bit lethargic this morning (slept in a little late to catch up on the past week) but I am feeling rather well and holding up significantly well despite my horrid schedule.

On another note I have not been working out. My hernia has gotten worse and it is not an umbilical hernia (it is higher - can't remember the term). Even coughing makes it pop out significantly. Anyway, I read one post above about having better definition and shape despite working out and I have definitely not noticed that.
I have been taking 3 tabs and will continue to do so. Net update next Friday.

I never read your post about the hernia, what happened?
justinjones1963 said:I was in week 5 or 6 of sus 500mg wk / 600mg EQ. I did deadlifts on Friday and squats on Monday. I was sitting at the desk doing homework and felt something weird on my abs. It didn't hurt at first but something was popping out. I pushed it back in and then did some reading up and came to the conclusion it was a hernia. I had one at birth (umbilical) and figured it was that again. I went to the gym again and it got worse. I went to the ER to get it checked out and they said it was a hernia.
I saw a doc a week or so later and he diagnosed me with a hernia that is higher in the abdominal cavity, which is more unusual than the umbilical. He said it may have been there all along and I just probably made a decent tear when lifting.
After all of this I did notice my abs were very tight the week before. I always stretch but one day my whole abdominal area was very tight. I stretched out as usual and I think it was at that time I tore it. It didn’t hurt or anything but I’ve never felt my abdominal cavity so tight. I didn’t do abs for a few days either because I figured I needed the rest. It was probably a very small tear that got bigger with the heavy lifting the week after. I was training abs three days per week but I would take a day off if I felt I needed to so I guess I just got the short end of the stick. All in all I think it was a combination of the ab workouts, bad genetics and deadlifts or squats.
Also, I went to a PT and the first words out of her mouth were do you use steroids. She said that it is common and she has seen a few cases of the higher abdominal hernia with people on gear. She said that steroids weaken something in the area that can contribute to tears. I haven’t had a chance to read up on it and I didn't bother debating with her on the benefits of AAS use (and of course I denied using).
I'm in school so I cannot get surgery right off so I am getting it done during Christmas. They cannot do laparoscopic surgery because of the nature of the tear but they are using a mesh (and not suturing the abdominal muscles together which takes much longer to recover) so recovery will be about 6 weeks and I'll have a scar.
The funny thing is that a few weeks earlier I was reading an article at the gym about some model that got a hernia over-training her abs. I laughed and said to myself "Dumb bitch...you should stretch before training and know when to cut back." Funny how karma can get you like that lol
The biggest thing is my schedule early next year won't let me do a cycle properly because I have to travel a little which means I ruined my last cycle and I won't have a chance to hit a cycle with 100% dedication until summer. Injuries suck. I have been keeping my diet in check and I have a good mental outlook so the biggest hurdles have been overcome. All I need now is surgery, some recover time, and I'm back in the gym.
On a final note I was wearing a belt when deadlifting and doing squats. Just when you think you take care of all of the precautions shit like this happens
The real kicker is my lifting budy (who doesn't use gear) got a damn hernia doing squats the week after. There must be something in the water at the gym I work out at

How long is the recovery after a surgery like that?
