To cycle or not to cycle?

[Nitro29]

Ok guys, here is my delima. I am ready to start my third cycle, I have all my gear, my pct, and my needles and syringes came in today. It has been an adequate amount of time since my last cycle and pct, and I have been running GH ~4iu's 5 on 2 off for about three months now. Here are the compunds I will be running:

test prop 100mg ed for 11.5 weeks
masteron 100mg ed for 11.5 weeks
tren ace 50mg ed for 11.5 weeks
npp 50mg ed for 11.5 weeks

The problem is I injured my shoulder during my first cycle, it wasnt that bad, but I kept juicing and kept lifting, and I wound up with rotator cuff problems to the extent I had to go to a sports medicine doc after my second cycle. I got the cortizone shot, the PT, the celebrex, etc, etc. and it has slowly gotten better. The sports medicine doc turned me loose when I told him I felt I was about 75% during my follow up. He advised to keep doing my PT stuff on my own and to lift at a comfortable pace and if I experience pain to stop. Well I thought I was just about ready, but the other night I must have slept on it wrong and my shoulder is hurting a bit again. Seems like every time I think I am over it, it starts up again, allbeit things are much better than they were. The doc did not do an mri yet, but says he doesnt think I have a significant tear.

So my question is, should I go ahead and start my cycle now, I was hoping the NPP would help my shoulder out some. Or should I wait, keep on doing PT stuff, work my way back up some more and try to get the shoulder 100% first? I feel like I should probably do the latter, but I am ready to get on with it, hope the npp helps, and be looking good and strong for spring/ beginning of summer. Plus everytime I get to the point of no pain, I sleep on it wrong and get pain again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Tia...nitro

Npp will only mask the problem imo,when you come off it could be worse -its a hard one bud -hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yea man that's a tough one. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Right now i'm leaning towards getting it back to 100%(or as close as possble) before you start. The reason i say that is because if it were me and i started and injured my shoulder again to the point that i couldn't do anything, i'd be so pissed at myself. But i see where you're coming from. Tough call man. Let us know what you decide, and good luck either way.

Thanks bro. I really want to start tomorrow, but I am like you guys and leaning towards waiting. In fact, I am going to wait at least another week and keep doing bitch weight and my stretches, etc and then re-evaluate. Thanks guys, still open to anybody's input. Tia..nitro

WOW, 2100mgs a week. Can I ask your ht/wt and bf% just out of curiosity?

Well, I have lost a lot of weight since I hurt my shoulder, couldnt lift, and slacked up on my diet, but right now I am 5'11 and 195 lbs. I have not had my bf checked recently, but its around 11%.

had shoulder surgery on Sept 20 of last year. Waited to do cycle after I was released from PT, but my recovery is 2 months ahead of schedule. I was diligent with my PT at home, when not at PT.

I used 50prop/60tbol for 8 weeks, but took it easy. No lifting heavy. I had a Labrum tear, and not an issue with my rotator cuff.

Rotator cuff surgery is nearly a year of recovery. Just something to think about. I would get the MRI. Tell the doc, you were just sleeping on it and it is feeling weak.

Thanks 10nispro. My initial diagnosis was tendonitus of the rotator cuff and shoulder impingement syndrome. But now my shoulder is popping a lot, basically sounds like someone cracking a knuckle, and that always hurts for a second and then it feels better. I dont know what the popping is. I thought about going in for the mri, the doc told me too if I didnt improve. I am just scared that if I get the mri, thats gonna mean surgery and the year long recovery you spoke of. No effin way, this sucks the big one.

That seems to be the general consensus. Thanks bro...nitro
