How long do back pumps last?

[MakaveliThaDon]

How long after you go off of a cycle do you guys usually take for the back pumps to be totally gone?

Depends what you have run and for how long. Could you be more specific?

 

[MakaveliThaDon]

Yes, yes I could. I ran six weeks of mega-TRN with ZOL thrown in for the last 3 weeks.

It's been 5 days now, and the back pumps have gotten better, there not crippling anymore, but defintely still there.

I know back pumps aren't very common with TRN, I have done a TRN solo cycle and never got any either, but this time I did, must have been the ZOL thrown in there.

Since the half-life of each is very short, I would think that they would cease withing a few days of discontinuing use.

Turns out L4 an L5 were both out of place in my verterbrae. And i kept lifting for 3 weeks beyond this, even set a new bench PR. Let me tell you, it is PAINFUL. I thought it would just go away, I finally gave in and went to get it put back into place.
