Pins and Needles was created by RvP
It seems that every time i lay down, or lay in a certain position, for under 5 mins, i get pins and needles in my arms. Im 6 weeks into my cycle and this started about 2 weeks ago. Never had a problem with muscles going numb so easily so im thinking it could be either Test, Equi or Tren related.

Can anyone comment or have had any experience like this?

To you it may look like I just did a push-up... But in fact, I just bench-pressed the world.

Mate if you are also complaining about back stiffness this can be related. The neck can cause pins and needles, as can certain myofascial trigger points. It can also be an effect from increasing muscle mass, which begins to limit mobility and place pressure on conducting nerves and blood vessels. All something we would definately examine for if you come in for a consult

Um, but im scared of needles...

I've never been on a cycle, and I also get pins and needles in my arms bud. Especially when my elbows are rested on a table (like when working on the computer)or on the bed. It got like this when I started gyming again.

Can this not be nerves that's clinched or something due to the weightlifting?

Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.

I weight lifted for before cycling and didn't get it, except on rare occursances.

When I started cycling I got them every night on waking.

Now, I don't get them that often again.

Sorry if I offend you
Its just my point of view

Agree with you

I know tren does tend to also have a factor in this if I am not mistaken.
The pins and needles shouldn't last long as well check the iron in your blood.

Stop competing with others and start competing with yourself!!

Sure thing bro. Am away on monday, but call me and can set up an app for either tues PM or wed AM.


Guys, I should imagine that steroids increase muscle cell volume, possibly causing an increase in intra compartmental pressures... This could predispose to nerve compressions. Muscle is also less pliable and mobile than fat and so more likely to place pressure on nerves in awkward positions.

Elbows resting on tables will put direct outside pressure on your radial nerve as it passes very superficially posterior to the elbow.

Um, but im scared of needles...

Ok tuesday pm it is. i'll call you tomorrow morning. The back of my neck is quite sore, I find it a bit hard to lower my head. Do I stay away from training tomorrow or is it fine? Was planning to do chest or either legs as im assuming legs will have less strain on my back than chest exercises?
