Thread: Help! My Shins Are F*cked!

Ive heard of something similair from someone else on IM while on M1t...do a search

If you have actual shin splints, your fucked They take a long time to heal, and you need to do a lot of stretching before activity, so as not to get them again. You might have to quit bball for a while..

My football coach always used to tell me to put a towel on the floor flat. Then, put your toes on the closest end of the towel and curl your toes to "scrunch" up the towel. Keep doing this until you get to the end of the towel.


Doing that a few times is supposed to help...

Are they shin splints are just do your calf muscles hurt really bad? M1T seems to cause serious lactic acid build up in the calf muscles for some reason. Just rest them as much as you can, and don't jump or play basketball until after your cycle.

Shin splints a supposedly from shock to your heel, it generates a static electrical surge that exits the shin bone. upon leaving it causes small splinters of bone to stick out of the shin. As you use the muscle it rubbs against the splinters and causes severe irritation. At least that is what the doc in the Navy told me they were when I got them. the more you walk the more irritated they will get.

Interesting. I am on an M1T cycle now and did some calf lifts yesterday and they killed me. I was barely pushing that much weight. I guess that must be lactic acid from the cycle.

Coversley, last night I did calf raises, with the most weight I've ever used, and it didn't feel any worse than normal. Since I started my M1T cycle (almost two weeks ago) I've added 30 pounds to my calf raises and am none the worse for wear. Plus, I've gone up to 10mg per day.

Here is a good page on shin splints.

The pain the front of your calf is normal if you run while on M1T. Ive been talking about it since I joined, although not many other people have mentioned it. Im glad Im not the only one.

You gotta just stop running boss. Ride the bike, swim, etc etc. Eat more bananas and drink more water. Take some taurine.

Try those.

If you have shin splints the only remedy is time off. I've had them before several times. I always ran and played B-ball through them. After I was done I couldn't walk. The only thing that made them better was time off. In my case about 6-8 weeks. Sorry Bro! Now to prevent them I do a lot of stretching prior to. Similar to calf stretches but the opposite direction. Good luck.

It may not be shin splints. I had a similar experience on my M1T cycle. During my cycle my lower legs would cramp up something terrible. The pain felt like shin splints but slightly different. It would only hurt severely when I ran. Once I started walking, things would return to normal. Sprints and jogging was a killer. The pain was severe and stabbing. I was afraid I had developed some sort of tendonitis in my lower legs. However, once I went off cycle and completed PCT everything returned to normal. My run time is back where it should be and my distance is back with little or no discomfort. Cramping is one of the sides commonly associated with M1T cycles so it is possible this may be what is happening in your case. If you still think it is shin splints go see a specialist.
