Hey everyone,
I completed my first cycle dosage of test cyp a couple months ago. I was averaging 6-700 a week for about 8 months. During that time I put on over 20 pounds of lean muscle and transformed my physique. My baseline testosterone level is maintained on my TRT program by my doctor. Unfortunately, these past couple months I was not fully returned to a normal testosterone blood level, instead I maintained a level over 1300 on the 200/week dosage I was on. As result, I am only recently in the normal range on 150/week.
Looking back, this means I was at a cycle range for about 10 months, maybe longer and maybe too much dosing as well. Regardless, I put on the muscle and my doc is running full panels to rule out any damage to organs for that time.
Here is the purpose of this thread: for the past month or so, my elbow/bicep region has been throbbing. Waves of pain, more in my left than right, are nearly debilitating whenever lifting. I am concerned that my training while on this high dosage could be to blame?
I have heard that when cycling it is best to be training in higher volume and higher rep ranges for the wellbeing of your joints. I am not sure how true this is, but for over two months now, which is the timeframe my pain has occurred, I have been on a very low rep low volume training plan called Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger.
While my body continues to grow and I have been breaking all of my personal records in the gym, my elbow and shoulder joints continue to hurt more.
I have heard it said that, when cycling, muscles grow faster than tendons and ligaments can adapt to. Could this be my problem?
I would hate to give up this training plan as it is working good for me. Higher reps and higher volume won't work well now that I'm finally back to normal test levels.
Can anyone offer me advice, insight, or knowledge to help me through my painful training circumstances?
Thanks!
