Hello, looking for suggestions on when to start next cycle. Recently re herniated my L5 s1 and had surgery. Been back to the gym for the past 2 weeks doing high rep low weight . Doc said I have 3 more weeks to go before I can squat and do deads again. So my question is if I want to run a test only cycle will it be better to wait until I can fully do back and legs. Or since it's slow to get going would it be a good idea to start it now? Thanks in advance for any advice !
 
AAS doesn't necessarily help healing, some times it's detrimental. I would wait until your doc clears you to lift again at least.

Oh man I feel your pain. Although I did not have surgery I herniated the disk at the L4-L5 and another at L5-S1 with enough nerve impingement that I could not pick up my left foot. I did very conservative recovery with depo-medrol injections as needed.

You do not want to fuck your back up again. Go SLOWLY working on your core first.

Thanks I hear ya. It was hard enough waiting 6 weeks to hit the gym. I have the ok on most stuff just no deads or squats for a few more weeks. I was looking at it like maybe by the time I'm good to go the gear would be pumping in the system good. But I think like you said I just really need to let it heal . Hard to do though! !
 
It just sucks second surgery same disc. I lost 12 lbs on the percoset and passout for half the day diet.
