Returning from early cycle injury.

[Ssuuddssyy]

So I got a bulged disk about 1 week into my lgd / gw cycle and decided to continue with my dosage while in recovery. I took about 3 weeks off and am still undergoing treatnemt for my spine but I went back to lifting while being mindful.

Is it normal that my stack retained most of my strength through my recovery? I'm leaving out deads and squats for now but not only has my bench not dipped in those 3 weeks but it's up 30 lbs....

Did the lgd save my strength during recover?

If so I'm glad I stuck with the cycle instead of stopping.

yes of course it saved your strength bro, thats what it does

I am also guessing that you just needed some extra time off to recover. I preach this often......learn to listen to your body and take the proper time off when needed. Don't be afraid that you will "lose your gains" from a few days or even a week off the gym. It will actually help in some cases. You can also do a "de-load" week here and there which involves lifting light for a full week. It gives time for the tendons and ligaments to have a break as well as the muscles and CNS.
