    Stopping weight increase on cycle, joints

    Just wondering if any body stops increasing their weight while on cycle because they're scared of damaging joints. Or perhaps limit how quickly they increase.

    I'm taking Animal Flex for joint support but some times I wonder should I really be lifting this much?

    Even though the weight is easy to move. Just wondering. I've been lifting for about 5 years so i know naturally I have built strength in my tendons and ligiments.

    Is pain the only warning sign? Perhaps the AAS may even cover the pain and you dont know you where lifting to much until after your cycle?

    Example if I have gone up 20 pounds on say curls, and im worried about damage, could I still grow as much if I just stick with that weight and raise reps.

    assuming proper lifting technique, if you're under 30 there are fewer chances to feel pain while you're on the juice.
    pain comes when you get older, continue training & cycling and push your body to its limits. and feels worse when you're off
    so basically listen to your body and handle loads according to your level.
    cheers.

    You could always do pre-exhausting exercises first. I've been having elbow problems so I've been doing cable crossovers before incline dumbells. It doesn't lower the weight much but going from 90 to 70 helps a lot on the ol elbow joint.
