    recovering from ACL surgery

    It has now been about 5-6 weeks since i had the surgery, i had a patella tendon graft. I was just wondering what roids, if any would be bad for my healing ligaments/tendons. I was just curious because i have heard that winny weakens ligaments, any truth behind that? Winny is going to be a part of my cycle starting monday. If any body has had the surgery or knows much about let me know. Thanks alot guys

    winny and fina only. No test or anything else, and i know about the possible negative side effects using fina w/o test but i have never had a problem there before. I will use both for about 6 weeks. i know it is small but i don't want go over board. Any reason why you think this may be a bad cycle for someone in my condition please let me know. Thanks

    I would hold off bro until you are 100%, some report joint pains in winny but I don't believe this is neccessarily joint damge; however I would be more worried about the strength gains associated with fina, as quick strength gains can set you up for injury. If you are smart about it you can _probably_ get away with it; however I would hold off for a few weeks. Do your physical therapy and stretches, ice/heat, etc. and then start it up. You don't want to tear it again bro.

    How old are you? Growth is known to strengthen tendons and ligaments. If your growth plates have closed I would try doing a growth cycle. I've read other posts about people with tendon/ligament damage doing growth.
