    Exclamation Painful burning sensation in calf muslces!

    Hey guys I'm 5 weeks into my first cycle and have been experiencing some unusual side effects. I'm running 500mg/wk Test En and 400mg/wk Deca . I do a lot of long distance running but 3 weeks into the cycle I started getting a terrible burn in my calf muscles after only 10 min of running. It's so bad I have to stop dead.

    Just wondering if anyone else has experience symptoms like this before?

    The gear is definitely working...I'm up 7lbs of lean mass and have added roughly 25-30% more weight on all my lifts, but unfortunately I can't run for shit.

    It sounds like your getting pumps in your legs. Some people get back pumps so bad they cant sqat.
    Try increasing your water intake. Unfortunately you may have to cut back on your running for a while.
    That cycle really isnt condusive to an endurance athlete.

    Try an equipoise cycle and for a first cycle you're running test e really high. Don't get me wrong. Test e is not toxic. But you couldve gotten by taking half the test you're taking and you probably would be much more efficient running

    500mgs of test a week is pretty bread and butter, not high at all.

    for what its worth i cant run for long without getting horrible pains in my legs as well. keep in mind the heavier you get the harder it is on your legs when you do hard impact running on something like a treadmill etc.

    yeah I've been doing intervals but it's kind of a pain in the ass. The elliptical machine doesn't hit my calfs the same so I'm probably going sticking to it for the rest of the cycle.

    I'm glad it's pretty common...thanks guys.

    Please consider a calcium+magnesium and a potassium supplement at 2x the RDA dose. Call me back in a week if you don't feel better. Don't forget your water, minimum of one ounce per kilo of body weight a day.

    Are you injecting on the legs? If so, that could be your problem.
