Ok i just cut my finger doing dishes.. yeah i know but the glass broke now i just got back from ER and have 5 stitches in my pinky.
I am currently on a test e and EQ cycle.. I will probably be out of the gym for 2 weeks.
I should keep running the Test E and EQ as normal then just get back into the gym or?
and of course will i lose some gaines?
I am now in my fifth week
all advise is appreciated thanks

Junior Member
I was washing a glass and it broke in my hand sliced above the knuckle . i got 5 stitches .
I was thinking i cant lift heavy for 2 weeks?
Banned
above the knuckle where?? index finger?? middle finger?? how about a pic??
i believe 2 weeks is too long, but i cant say for sure without seeing or knowing how the laceration looks
Junior Member
it is on the pinky. i just got back from the ER dont want to take bandage off.
My ? is to just keep run the test and EQ like i was right? .. Yeah i hope its not two weeks

i would say 5-7 days predicated on the cut.. keep on your cycle

You cut your pinky and now you have to be out of the gym for 2 weeks?
....
You must have experienced a severe case of testicular atrophy from your cycle.

ummmmm dikc...Originally Posted by alpmaster
I was saying 2 weeks cause thats when the stitches come out
AR-Elite Hall of Famer (RETIRED)
that does suck, bro.
but 5 stitches on the pinky (and above the knuckle at that)?
wow. Not alot of skin to pull to put stitches there.
I've had stitches on my fingers before....are they real tight?
Junior Member
yeah the women did them real tight.. I was just wondering cause you know we lift heavy weight and to grip it right? you know
AR-Elite Hall of Famer (RETIRED)
yah, you definitely don't want to pop those stitches out.
It should start healing up enough that you can get back in there in a week.
I'd just take it easy, but still lift. play it by ear.
Junior Member
so if i lift really lite will that do some kind of justice?
AR-Elite Hall of Famer (RETIRED)
Like I said, I've had stitches in my fingers before.
I'd take a week off, still do some light cardio.
and after a week, you should be able to lift lightly.
Junior Member
thanks for all the advise .

lift real light, shvt load of reps, till total muscle failure, this will at least keep ur muscles stimulated while ur cycling

hit legs hard, extensions, sled, hamstring machine, etc. Lots you can do that don't involve your hands at all.

dude cmon. its the pinky! are you sreious? I mean i rode a fukin bull (no joke) with my whole pinky and ring finger stiched up. I would say you can work out. Take it easy for a few days and then get back at it. Dont be a puss man...

My Boy Just Recently Had Stitches in his Wrist, He took 3 days off then Hit alot of Machines. Do what makes you comfortable. Light Free weights until he felt slight pain.

Thats what I was thinking...does nobody do legs?
Also with stitches a week should be sufficient if you tape it when you lift.
Junior Member
of course i do legs.. hmmm taping it maybe taking a pain killer?
but taping it good idea .. im just so pissed and raged. just started to notice some gaines .. Test takes a while for me. so dont want to ruin whats kicking in ya know?
Junior Member
Big always a real help and awsome advise thanks man for looking out for us new guys
Grade A Beef
Id be pissed to get that mid cycle too...after a week its pretty sealed and if you tape it so its pulling the skin together you shouldnt have a problem...and I dont think it would be painful.

Stop doing the dishes bro. Paper plates till cycle is over

hahaaaha, might not be a bad idea
Associate Member
me personally... i would man the fuk up and try my best. the shit will heal.. mind over matter baby!
Junior Member
yeah man i am going to. im going to go back tomorrow .. do more cardio that i have been slacking on .. do machines and legs abs ectt do what i can do .. well see . I dont want to waiste a week .
"AR's Personal Trainer"
Get some lifting hooks. like the straps but that way you can still do back but dont have to grip the bar
Junior Member
yeah thanks man im going to try tomorrow or maybe i should wait 3 days.. well its good that my day off from gym was today
AR-Elite Hall of Famer (RETIRED)
I'm all about manning up, but if you push it and don't let it heal, you'll just end up setting yourself back further.
trust me, stitches on the hand are the hardest to heal.
so just take it easy.
Junior Member
ok woke up my finger ****ing hurt .. took the bandige off. and tried to make a fist but i cant cause the stitches. i took a perk would it be ok to do cardio on a pain killer?
AR-Elite Hall of Famer (RETIRED)
yep. the first few days with fingers stitches are the worst.
lol. you *could* do cardio after taking a pain killer, but good luck with that. they make me groggy as all hell.
Senior Member
man just keep the weight off ur pinky. it would be different if it was ur thumb
Senior Member
That sucks bro, yah just hit your legs hard like Big said.
Good luck bro.
Junior Member
ok went to the gym feeling good. did machines and cable .. worked on chest today . I didnt even attempt the DB or bench
It wasnt bad at all just kept the pinky in the air lol
