antibiotics shouldn't interfere with your gains unless it causes a side effect like diarrhea.

Thank you!!!! I have been trying to get people to believe this.

On the other hand I'd probably hold off for a few days in this case and see what happens.

Interefere with gains? Cutting an abcess out of your arm will interfere with gains. How does a substance made to kill off infections, hinder gains? Some people amaze me. I nearly had to spit some coke in my friends mouth, because he was going hypo from insulin (pre workout is bad) and he was afraid of "getting fat"

umm ok a little lesson on how some antibiotics work. bacteria enters the cell and tells the cell to make certain proteins. antibiotics destroy the protein synthesizing ability of the bacteria and perhaps the cells. enough of the right kind of antibiotic and it might effect the protein production in other cells i.e. muscle cells. its not a stupid guessing game, this is what these medications DO.

[prolangtum]

ok fine be a jackass, gains are worth getting an abcess removed, right?

[FightinForPecs]

ya know what is with you prolang??? you have this superiority complex or something. jackass? real nice buddy. all i said is that i was gonna wait a couple days to take the antibiotic, obviously im nervous and NOT a jackass if i went to the doctor right away. control your roid rage bro.....

[prolangtum]

Take it from someone who waited out going to the doc, i had an abcess removed, I was a jackass. If i would have come a few days sooner, I would have been fine. Just take a small dosage than, but you dont have to, its just advice.

[FightinForPecs]

ok prolang, point taken. that sucks though man. you really had to get one removed? ouch! how bad did that set you back? gym time i mean. oh and bye the way i think its starting to go away. i mean i still have some pain, but the redness is def going.. i wonder if it really was just the prop trapped under the skin or something... ill keep an eye on it though. thanks guys.

It was on my right thigh, i went against docs advice, and trained about 4 days later, legs that is. Im sorry if I come off sometimes with a "superiority complex" in no way shape or form am I better than anyone here, I just have been there, done that. Be it DNP, insulin, every kind of steroid imaginable, every diet, High carb, no carb, ckd, isocaloric. I finally figured out after 6 years of juicing, what works......for me. What works for me, wont work for everyone. I went from an uneducated 140lb 6 foot Puerto Rican teenager, to a 230-240 lb, fairly educated man. You learn a lot in about 100lbs.

ok prolangtum, well i need your help. i just came home from the gym. well i had a pretty decent workout BUT afterwards i noticed that where my arm had been red (which is right in between my shoulder and arm) now i feel a knot there... what does this mean? should i start the antibiotic pronto??

[prolangtum]

hot to the touch? i would do just a minimal dose of antibitotics, mayeb 1/2 the recomended for a few days.

[FightinForPecs]

dude check this out, they gave me levaquin... i was just reading all the side effects and testamonials (sp) online, this is some BAD shit!! side effects are horrible. im wondering if ill do more damage than good...

[prolangtum]

What do they list?

[DickRenegade]

??????

horrible side effects of levoquin? are you joking?! the chances of getting those side effects are slim to none. do your research before posting. i'd say about 15 percent of all patients in a hospital are on a fluoroquinolone such as levoquin. just about every female that gets a uti gets put on levoquin (or other similar antibiotic, or bactrim). if the sides were horrible, would this be the case?!


"antibiotics destroy the protein synthesizing ability of the bacteria and perhaps the cells"

it's far more complicated than that. antibiotics can work by a number of different mechanisms. just because some can interfere with protein production in bacteria doesn't mean they interfere with protein production in human cells which far differ in structure and function.

just take the damn antibiotics... don't half the dose or any bullshit like that which may cause resistant organisms and further complications.... and continue to work out. that's the smartest thing to do.

LOL Dick,
sometimes I wish I had an excuse not to do legs, your picture just reminded me of that.
