CPK levels blood work & anabolics

[martin]

been a longgg time since i last posted on here. I recently had an above avg CPK (CK) level when i received my bloodwork back. I was out of the gym for atleast 2 months, and had just started back up a month ago. My doctor is sending me for another test in 3 days, provided i stay away from any activities (weightlifting, cardio, etc) because working muscles can cause increased CPK levels. I'm currently taking a small cycle as follows:

Test en 1 - 14 - 500mg\week
Test prop 1 - 4 - 100mg\eod
Drol 1 - 5 - 100mg ED

I'm 3 weeks in and stopped taking the drol for the past 4 days because im worried it might effect the CPK level results in my bloodwork. I was also due for a shot yesterday but skipped it. I'm wondering if anabolics increase CPK levels. Has anyone else had the same or similar experience?

.. good to be back

I would suggest supplementing Pycnogenol. It reduces CPK levels. Also, CPK is just an inflammatory marker (it stands for Creatine Phosphokinase/ an enzyme) and I wouldn't worry about lifting causing increases as they are a natural part of the burn you experience along with the increase in lactic acid. For that matter, you may have only had elevated levels because you were recently lifting intensely.
