I'd recommend you continue with your cycle to minimise any mass loss and possibly speed up healing related to your injury (deca can be good for joins/tendons).

In terms of a physio, I've seen one at the Bristol Uni Pulse gym where me/nick500 go, and she was pretty good - not sure if you can go as a non-member though.

Ragz, the Pulse gym you say you train in, is it http://www.pulsefitness.com/first1.html ??

If it is, I train in the one in Enfields Middlesex Uni!! Small world mate!

:twisted: Fierce.

No, its actually the Bristol uni gym - not a bad one though.

IMO you should have asked for active recovery options - there should be exercises you can do to help recover faster - I wouldnt accept just 'rest' unless the injury was acute.
