Dom.s when off cycle

After being off test or any meds for over 2-3 months now and after the xmas 12 day training lay off with loads of rest.
I hit legs the other day and what killer dom's i have had from that workout and also doms in back arms and tris.
I have been training many years and after any long term rest i am normly on test but i feel after being off , dom's do seem a big factor when off test ?
 
Have you had this happen to you in the past or this year after xmas layoff ??

always after a layoff.

Yes mate, always slightly worse after a break and much worse when off everything as well. How long you taking a break from the AAS Daz? Is this just a natural break or health benefit reasons?

I have been off for around 3 months now after being on a 8 month run of Test then off time running onto peps (G6 cjc IGF) and back on again .
There is no big reason i came off as i was doing well with 3x 4 weeks runs of long acting slin in the last 8 months. But cash and a feel that off time was needed .(With PCT)
 
But this years run of meds was not worked around a show (due to me fragmentating disk in my back) which took this years show out of the picture :(..
 
Now i am going to wait untill doms still down as i know that some muscle groups i do get little doms from when on and see if the feeling of doms=muslce  mass gained as when doms are felt in a muscle there is swelling in the muscle and its hard flex ..
I have kept good gains from off time and i do feel its the quiet before the strom and the rest time denifits will show on stage ..

Yeah daz they are bad ive been off about the same amount of time as you.
 
Its like i remember back when i started out, constant DOM's pain just in a different bodypart everyday!!

This is how this week has gone.
 
Monday Legs , 4 days of dom's
Tuesday Chest ,dom's still today and sore to touch.
Thursday Delts/Tri's Bad dom's 
 
I feel two days of dom's is around right ,i have left a few muscle groups out this week due to dom's.

This is weird as with my limited experience of steroids, when I was on the test I got doms more easily and in areas I had not experienced doms before. I put this down to strength gains through the gear and pushing myself harder or something. Strange how it should of been the other way round.

@The Truth
 
This can be the case , but with me i have been training along time and my body is a fast healer normally.
Its not the fact that i am pushing too much as i am not and far from it.
Or could it be i am older and thing don't work as fast ?.
So a log of weights pushed has been made and i will reflected on this again after i have bee back on Test , Long acting for 4 weeks.
 
Daz

Its been over 5 weeks now and Doms are still here i have mixed thing up to keep the body guessing .
IE; 4-1
Four seconds down one up (push) , this mainly for legs/chest atm.
And fast workouts i hit tris monday in 25mins on the cable crosss over , rope pulls then right on to rev/pulls and then back again.
 
How are your new year doms going and have meds helped .
 
I am on 2.5ml Sus PW and good gains are coming and a summer show cut will show more.
 
Daz

I found when i was on cycle i didnt get any Dom's what so ever but they were really bad when i came off, i was getting alot of cramps for a while too.
 
I havent been smashing my chest as good as normal due to dislocating my shoulder a month ago but managed 3 near on proper sets of 85kg (normaly 105kg) bench and my chest is killing today!

Hey daz
I was on for 9months last year after bulking, contest cut and rebound, plus a slow taper.
Been 3months now completely off everything.
Doms is killer and I have had no time off training, it has just been from no aas, takes 3-5 days for Doms to completely go so training only 3 times a week to get max recovery.
Time to get back on now I think, may give it another month as I'm enjoying natty at the mo.
I see you've jumped back on :) do you rekon you'll be on another 8months before you have another break? Or do you not normally come completely off?
Don't think I'll go over time on/time off again as I was so scared I wouldn't recover after 9months on.
