Cycled Stopped 2 weeks before surgery - ok?

**MACKATTACK** · 08-28-2018, 10:41 PM

I am having a surgery. My cycle ended Last friday. It will be exactly 2 weeks off of gear prior to surgery.

It was Test E, Primo E, Primo Ace and Proviron .

Is that enough time?

What kind of surgery?

**MACKATTACK** · 08-29-2018, 01:17 AM

That really doesn't tell me much lol ☺

But you should be alright.

what kind of surgery?

and why cycle right up to surgery if recovery is that long, going to loose a ton

**AlphaMindz** · 08-29-2018, 12:53 PM

Damn man you're gonna be out for at least a month...? That's rough man. Can you elect to move the surgery to a later date lol? If you were on trt it wouldn't be as a big deal IMO, you'd still lose some of that "look" of course but your levels will stay high enough for you not to lose muscle..

But given the fact that you need to recover from this cycle it's gonna hurt your gains a lot man cause part of holding on to gains post cycle is keeping cal consumption up and continuing to train hard while test levels are going back up to help maintain the new muscle.

The fact that you can't lift AND will be shut down is gonna kill some of your gains, unfortunately. Not to mention the fact that your appetite will suffer as well directly following surgery as you'll prob be on meds that may fuck with your appetite. And for me, when I'm not physically active I can't eat as much but that may not be an issue for you...

You are on growth though so I'd imagine that will help you keep more muscle but that's an assumption.

Fuck man I'd try to reschedule that surgery for once you're fully recovered from the cycle, natty levels are up to support the new muscle, and you've been stimulating muscle in gym to prevent atrophy..Once those things are gtg THEN I'd take that time off, but even then you'll lose SOME gains but IMO that approach will minimize muscle loss.

If you can't train upper body can you still train lower body? And vice versa?

I would just go with the plan and continue to do your pct. there’s not much else you can do without putting yourself at risk. If you feel bold you can try to workout after your surgery but i would strongly suggest you ask your doctor what you can and absolutely should not do. I found that many doctors understand that lifting is part of many people livelihood and they will give you parameters to keep you happy.

I had a pretty bad injury that was supposed to leave me inactive for 3 months. I didn’t require surgery though. I continued pinning 1 month into the injury and then started my pct and slowly started working out during pct (which the doctor did say I could do as long as I avoided certain exercises.) I gained a little fat but didn’t lose my muscle gains. I did have some strange breathing episodes that made me fear I had a clot in my lungs, and during certain lifts I felt like I was going to have an aneurism, which scared me so bad I went to the ER to get checked. So I would definitely advise you not to pin if you’re inactive, i think I got lucky, since my pt-inr showed that I was susceptible to clots, but after a little time in pct and a retest it became normal. I only kept pinning to finish out my cycle and to avoid any dip in hormones that could affect the my bones healing (I won’t disclose my exact injuries here for OPSEC, but there were broken bones).

Working out is out of the question for 6 weeks, its a full tummy tuck with BodyTite. I am not entirely concerned about loosing some muscle, I just want to make sure I will be ok for surgery. I will be running 5ius of HGH daily during the recovery period so it will help with maintaining the gains. I will be maintaing my meal plan of 3,000 calories a day. I also have a few injuries I have been working out with so the time off might actual do some good.

The docs normally want you to stop things like anti-inflammatory and blood thinners before surgery. You cycle gear is fine to quit 2 weeks prior to surgery.

Why do you need that MACK? I'm not being a dick I'm sincerely wondering. You're young in and shape so it doesn't make sense to me...

After I called off my engagement, blew my left knee out where it was inoperable and they removed my entire meniscus and i have no cartilage and my grandfathered who was one of the closet people I was with died, this all happened at once. Basically went through a “fat phase” for a 3 year period. Ballooned up to 350lbs. I hold all my fat in my midsection, it created a large amount of loose skin. If I didn’t have that loose skin I’d have a great mid section with a 6 pack but it hangs there like a flap over 3/4 of my midsection and when I have sex it bothers the shit out of me lol. I mean I can tuck it in like a fucking shirt lmao. Hard to notice even with my shirt off but I control and hide it well, it’s something I want to do for myself. Come back strong after the surgery and try to put on 10-15lbs of muscle over the next 12 months and prep for a competition. I knew this day for the surgery was coming and I have been putting it off for sometime, I’m just gonna do it, get it over with and work harder and longer once I’m back....

**Windex** · 08-29-2018, 04:35 PM

Mind if I ask how much a surgery like that costs ?

**70rs** · 08-29-2018, 04:52 PM

Is a cruise/try dose out of the question?

I just fixed the that hernia ive mentioned before and it was right after a cycle. I was on pct before and during the surgery. Definitely bad timing but i just kept eating lots of hearty home cooked meals (i had lots of time to cook) and kept up with my multivitamins and drank lots of water. Basically did everything i possibly could minus any physical excercise. I was down for roughly 6 weeks and barely lost any mass. Yeah i gained a little fat but im already shaving it off pretty easily. Dont stress it man! Gotta do what u gotta do, we lift our whole lives so 6 weeks is nothing.

Gotcha. I'm sorry for your loss buddy and I have even more respect for you now because what you've been able to accomplish is admirable. One would never guess you were that obese so you've done an amazing job getting into shape! I hope others see this and get inspired by your hard work!

**70rs** · 08-31-2018, 10:41 AM

Good luck with the surgery Mack! I'm sure you'll bounce right back!

**MACKATTACK** · 08-31-2018, 12:58 PM

I was so fat I had to roll myself out of bed to get up and I couldn’t see my d!ck lol
