Nobody likes injuries, but this doesn't mean they don’t happen. Unfortunately, not few are those who got injured in spite of big attention paid to stretching, proper technique and weights. If you are running through some injury issues while taking steroids and are not sure what to do further, you came to the right place. We gonna talk what is the best option in such cases. Cease steroids use and training or continue to take them.
One big fact about steroids that you have to know is that they don’t promote muscle growth, unless muscles get stimulated enough thought training. Anabolics just help you get most out of your training and diet, but taken alone they will do nothing to you, just affect your health condition.
Due to taking steroids a bodybuilder can lift harder and recover faster. It means that being on steroids enable you to work with bigger weights, more often than 2 times a week and even longer than 45 minutes. The results can be amazing while you feel like a wolf, ready for even more work out.

Being limited in your training possibilities because of injury roughly decrease the effectiveness of steroid use. Therefore, taking them when following a light or even not at all training is unproductive. More than this your body will be intoxicated with a range of substances that totally don’t worth the risk.
Aside of fact that steroids do nothing without training, there’s another aspect that you have to consider for safe use of anabolics. Its about the “on” and “off” which need to have the same length for allowing you body to restore its functions and avoid unwanted side effects.
This means that being on steroids for 8 weeks requires at least the same period to stay away of steroid. Doing so not only will keep you safe, but also will increase the effectiveness of next steroids cycle. Deciding to bridge between them will greatly reduce your chances to have big gains once you are back on higher dosages.
Broadly speaking, the above said things should not be new to you, unless you a first time steroid user. You know the effects of steroids on your body, why you have to stack them and you choice to run into a short or long cycle is not accidentally at all. This should be a very well researched decision that will bring best results with minimal impact on your health.
Knowing what to when an injury occurs during a steroid cycles should be a part of your research too. You know that steroids use without training is valueless, so you already have an argument for ceasing steroid use and wait until you heal.
The second argument is that taking steroids while injured reduces the “off” time, so the next planned cycle will be few weeks later. And all this because of running of pointless cycle that is not backed up by strong training.
Minor health problems are not a reason to abandon you steroid use and trainings. Such a decision should be conditioned by severe injuries when no training is allowed. In this situation, is better to wait for time when you will be able to train at your full capacity. And also, give your body this way a break. Next time you are in, body will react much better and you will manage to get more from you training.
But to be able to withstand minor injuries and train further you need to have the right attitude. You need pass through attitude to continue your training even you don’t feel very comfortable to perform them.
