    Severe Muscle Pumps

    I'm not even sure if calling these muscle pumps is accurate. They don't feel like cramps though.

    I have been experiencing really strong muscle pumps in my lower back and legs during leg workouts and when running/walking. Its gotten tot he point where walking a quarter mile causes such tightness in my lower back that I have to stop and rest for a couple of minutes.

    Could too much OT causing this?

    OT?

    Take taurine for cramping, I get that way on cycle. I get horrible shin splints walking across campus, so now I take the bus all the time. As for the lower back pumps I get that, try wearing a workout belt it should prevent the pumps, I tried it out on my last back workout and no painful lower back pump.

    Lol first time I heard some refer to t-bol as OT (oral t-bol) thats kind of redudant since t-bol is naturally an oral in the first place.

    Anyway, my shin splints were so bad I started limping half way across my walk and my campus has ****ing hills so it killed. Like it hurt so bad and I was sweating and by the time I got to class I couldn't wait to sit the **** down my legs hurt so bad. When I sat down my shins were pulsating with pain like I had a pump in the BONE.

    People would see me walking across campus and txt saying "why are you limping?"

    Thanks, I think I'll cut back and see if the symptoms subside. I was just curious if anyone else had had similar issues while on a cycle. What you describe is exactly how I felt yesterday while playing ball. I had to freak'n lay on the ground at one point and wait for it to pass.

    My advice, cut any activities that deal with running/walking alot unless you absolutely need to do it (ie. job/cardio/whatever). Try to limit the pain as much as possible.

    Taurine should help, in the mornings I get cramps in calves so bad that I hold my leg in pain while it subsides then the whole day it is sore like I gave it a workout.

    I wish that would solve it but I'm afraid the shin splints are only part of a larger problem.

    I used to have that problem. Its obviously lack of nutrients or something right? Thats what I thought anyway. I started taking glutamine and creatine once a day, one week later...problem solved. This was almost 2 years ago and it hasn't came back. I dont always use creatine but the glutamine goes in my shakes once a day.

    I hadn't thought of that. I'll try adding more glutamine and some creatine.

    What is your BF% and what all does your cycle consist of (including dosages)?

    I'm going into week 6 of my Test E cycle (used Dbol for first 2 weeks, couldn't handle the back pumps/headaches anymore, plus I was sick as a dog) and I can barely walk a KM now without having to stop. It feels like my shins are going to explode. Probably because I went from 190 to 210 and I bet most if it is water :/ I hate 4 week colds/sicknesses.

    i get incredible anterior calf pumps from walking anywhere... i try to avoid as much as possible ESPECIALLY if wearing thongs... as im in thailand i only wear runners to the gym.
    flat feet cant help either...
    heard dbol+anapolan is an incredible recepie for lower back pumps that can stop you from doing anything.

    Well hopefully reducing the dosages will help. I wouldn't personally run 2 orals at the same time but best of luck. Next time throw some test into the equation and run 1 oral with it. Also, get the BF down before next cycle.

    Drink tons of water, take taurine, eat bananas, and pray the lb pumps go away. Good luck bro!
