I have to take a steroid called Prednisolone, 8 5mg tablets once a day.This isn't going to affect my lifts is it?
No, but you still have to turn in your natty card
Probably will, glucocorticoids are non-selective and thus inhibit anabolic processes. Adverse effects related to lifting include increased muscle breakdown, weakness, reduced muscle mass and repair.

Corticosteroids fucking suck ass. Get off as soon as you can.

That's for extended periods of time, not a week.

OP didn't include a time frame.

Sorry, I am OP. I meant a week. It's not permanent, it's just to apparently loosen the tubes inside my nose because they're fucked up and clogged.
>>37288424
Just for a week shouldn't have any noticeable effects.
>>37288424
You'll be fine for a week but long-term steroids will destroy your gains and your body.

Not taking these by choice
At least a week's worth won't do anything
Corticosteroids are terrible. A week shouldn't affect you too badly, but you will feel the effects after a few days until a few days after ending the script.
You might want to consider taking a week off, or lowering your load for the week.
I won't affect at all
Trust me

Prednisolone is a catabolic steroid.
It's literally going to steal you gains.
Real talk OP, prednisone doesn't just steal your gains, it steals your body. You're going to get addicted and pretend you have asthma at the doctor's office just to get them. Wheeze baby, fucking wheeze.
