**ess3489** · 07-19-2010, 10:17 AM

so bad news is i tore my acl and will be having surgery august 5th. problem is im currently on a 10 week cycle of test e 500mg a week. i am starting week 9 so i only have 2 more weeks of injections, then 2 weeks off , then start my pct.

what should i do as far as my cycle goes should i finish out the injections the next 2 weeks? which would end july 29th. then have my 2 weeks off and start pct august 12th whoich would be one week after surgery.

or should i just end my cycle now and start pct now and be done with everything before my surgery aug 5th?

im not going to resuse the gear later so saving it or selling the last 2 weeks is probobly never going to happen. what is yalls best advice for what i can do. the surgery isnot that big, doc said i should be able to start working out agian really soon. just not my legs which sucks.

Well since you dont plan on using it later i would just finish the cycle the run your PCT.

Or you could stop it and throw away the remaining. There is no real positive way to go about it. Im sorry for your injury

but being just off my test for a week before surgery wont affect anything during surgery right? i mean like the drugs they use to put you to sleep wont react with the high level of test in my system, because i know you cant have drugs or alcohol just wondering if steroids was the same. but yea i think ill just finish the cycle and start pct when im supposed to start it.

Run your pct now, you will only be in hospital for one night (maybe 2) and you can bring your pct meds in with you. I had this op 2 years ago and only finished a cycle a couple of weeks before the op. After a week you will be walking on it again and able to train (though make sure you train light as the knee is very weak after such a short time since the op).

yea ther surgery is not to big of a deal i mean the total recovery on my knee sucks, but i am actually out of the hospitol as soon as the surgery is over i dont have to stay the night. i only have 3 more injections this thursday and then next week on monday and thursday. so would using the last of my cycle and workout really hard while i can be a good idea. because i will probably have atleast a week off from the workouts so i want to get as much gains as possible because i know i will loose some from having to take a week off. ill be off the cycle july 29th and then my surgery is aug 5th. and then ill start my pct 2 weeks after last injection. this seems to make sense to me is this wrong to finish the cycle, then have surgery, then try to get back in the gym as soon as a can and start pct as planned?

You had an ACL repaired and were walking on it after a week? I have had knee surgery and there is no way i was walking on it in a week let alone training
