Need some advice. Stopping cycle in 1st week.

[Izzman]

I have a friend who just recently started his very first cycle of test enanthate at 500mg/week and has already taken his 1st shot of 250mg earlier this week. The thing is though is that he recently also injured his shoulder pretty badly doing seated dumbbell presses and fears it may be a rotator cuff injury or tear or something of that nature due to the pain. He wants to stop his cycle and go get medical supervision to see just how serious it is and get an MRI or something. He wants to take care of the injury now before it gets possibly worse and dedicate his energy to this cycle fully sometime in the future when he can go all out. Since he has only taken one shot of 250mg does he even need PCT or can he just stop cold turkey since his HPTA has been hardly affected? If he does, would 20mg nolva for 2-4 weeks suffice? However, if he should stay on, shouldn't the test help him heal his shoulder quickly? Thanks in advance.

his very first cycle.

This is never a better cycle than the first, so make it count. Shoulder injuries can linger for a long time, so see a doc and give it a rest. Bad time to use AAS IMO to try and heal an injury.

250mg shot is not much, although perhaps a low dose of HCG could be appropiate. I wouldn't suggest Clomid or Nolvadex either, but a herbal PCT like Avena Sativa would do fine.

I would say stop it since it's so eraly. Usually shoulders muscle tears or injuries for that matter need to be rested. I don't think he would need anything for PCT with one shot, but if he wants to be careful, he can take nolva at 20mg for two weeks.

that happened to me with a similar cycle my shoulder pain was killing me, I was doing chest press with the inclined bench, I was in my 4th out of 10 week I was barely starting to feel the "kick" of test, I didn't stop working out though, it would hurt just with some exercises like inclined bench but not with the declined bench. the reason i didn't stop was because I was putting a lot of effort to my cycle that I decided just to go on but lowering the weight big time, but in other exercises was cool. the pain got away by itself by week 8 but I still was very careful not to lift too much weight in the bench. Anyways, if I was your friend I would stop, test e is a looong ester and is releasing the hormone real slow, In my opinion I believe that one test shot will not shut you down completely, I would start my pct two weeks after my last shot though just to be in the safe side. tell your buddy to get that checked to do it again. Remember the longer you stay the longer you get to fully recover. Test can lubricate joint but if it's a little ligament rupture that cannot sease the pain, it can defenetly work with joints though but not with rupture muslces, tendons or ligaments. imo

Stop the cycle, and pct shouldn't be necessary. He isn't going to be that shutdown from one shot. I had similar injury also, my doc had me stop doing any overhead presses, this puts serious stress on the rotator cuff. layoff, time and pt is the only thing that healed it.

it takes around 3 weeks before before you're body will shut down it's natty test.

Your boy can stop right now with no problems. Taking the ancillaries won't hurt anything, but they aren't needed.

take time to heal and then hit it hard.... make it count,dont just count on it.... i went to the doc several months back feeling kinda bad, with no energy and he gave me 250mg of test... said that should help and it did,(of course) i asked if i needed anything to counter it later and he said not at that dose...

yeh quit it and make sure it's healed

 

[spikemydog]

im as thick headed as the next guy id tough it out and keep goining ...................... after and i say again after at least a week off of no weight training to see if it goes away.this meaning a nonserious injury like a pull or something minor and delay the cycle for a week.hey summers right around the corner!!!but 1 shot isnt anything for the body to get all worked up over. whats his age?
