Again good point to consider, insulin scares the hell out of me, but your points of quick gains coinciding with injury can happen way too easy. Shine like you when I feel a tweak it's like ,"shit" that's few months . I do work around injuries but it still sucks anyway. I also remember loving how quickly anadrol inject and test suspension pre- workout had effected me. Like you say 100 pound increase , I'll use cable rows as my example as I too went up that quick, it was also when I progressed from 150 pound DB rows going from a difficult ten reps to suddenly doing 15-20 effortlessly . I then just abruptly used 200 pounders and still do a year later. While psychologically its a boost when you get superhuman powers, your muscle itself gets strong, but the associated joint, tendon and ligaments have not seemed to catch up. Like my adrenaline is kicking I'm strong as an ox, tossin around huge poundage effortlessly, but after a few I start to feel a tweak and a snap lol. What's odd when my back gets strong even though we consider it a pulling muscle , I damaged my triceps . Im wanting to think its because they tie into my rear delts and they just could not handle the load, during my lifting and shall we infer my aas training , I've never had such a sudden and drastic jump in power. I'm also 45 years old. I don't lift heavy low weight power training max type lifts. However I need fairly heavy poundages to get a workout . 100 pound dumbells are too light, chins with body weight only are too light for me. I'm not tootin my horn I'm just trying to convey that we lift according to how we have developed.some may say that's too heavy, but not for some of us.
Another thing is when you take a layoff and then get back into it, got to go slowly and adjust,
As far as the insulin, so your power shot up and you got hurt? As you can see I feel your pain bro.
Who has some ideas of variations or methods of avoiding injury when progressing so quickly??
I guess I learned, but interested in other ideas. Training oriented ideas. Shine? Adjos? Iron insanity? All you other training guros do you allow yourselves to get carried away? Or do you have some unusual methodical way of dealing ???
