Advice & Tips
Have a sleep aid available to try and get some rest. The steroids jack me up I cant slep. Do not over do it. You might start to feel like the king of the world and you can easily do too much. Do a little then rest and recover. You will thank me after they ear off and you start to feel the soreness of the overdoing it.
