Post by: Bigpump9 on August 22, 2009, 06:04:12 PM

I have the blood tests done and my cpk is off the charts! after chest and tri workout it was 2500, and after back and bi workout it was 3500, i am clean and been of the stuff for months! is that normal in bodybuilders? i researched online couldnt really find anything, my doc made me freak out, and cant work out for a week and repeat the tests

You need to work on your post count.....that's more important.

CPK measures muscle damage. You maybe overtraining.  When they see the high numbers they think it is your heart trouble.

Its nothing to worry about.

Nowadays i dont even bother taking "blood tests", useless and only bring panic to you.

originally went to doc because of weird abdominal and chest aches and feeling out of it!  aches subsided but the feeling of being out of it is still there! so no work out for a week, just wondered if anyone else had that happen to them! next time i will ask to get my test levels checked, they pretty much checked everything else at ER

indicative of rhabdomyolosis.  high enough levels can cause kidney failure.  i have suffered the same unexplainable blood work since 2005.  my personal research has me believing that during my 'all or nothin' days the combination of steroids and severe overtraining caused permanent muscle damage.  i have had a biopsy and it showed no muscle disease.  strange and unnerving that you mention antibiotics though......

It's completely normal. There are some levels in your blood which are often highly elevated at BB/sportsmen (Naturals!) like the CPK, Creatinine, GOT;....it's not the slightest problem.

Unfortunately most of the doctors have absolutely no clue about that. Get a doctor who does weight-training himself, that's often the best choice.

my crazy doc made me go to ER just cause my cpk and creatinine levels were little elevated, my urine was clear, and i kept telling her that those elevations are normal, she wouldnt listen, it was a waste of time and money!

2500 is not 'slightly' elevated.  sorry.  sure you are in no imminent danger at that level but it is NOT normal.  do you experience random myalgia? tremors? fatigue? lethargy? muscle wasting?

Since you have some psychiatric problems too, I would diagnose you with fibromyalgia.  go the nearest quack, get a green tea colonic and you should be fine.

It's completely normal the day after a hard training session.
