Something for tendons and ligaments

**oot** · 05-03-2010, 05:37 PM

Is it worth me looking for anything to help my tendon in my elbow my knee and maybe with a bit of strength on my shoulder where I keep getting impingement whilst I am now in rehabilitation for the shoulder imingement and am serious about the light weights for a while?

I have heard that deca helps but I have read into that and am worried about deca ****, I hear anavar and HGH helps? I have never taken steroids before and have been thinking about taking someting to help me with these problems for months now, I am sensible and am still stuck on what to do after months of looking on forums and websites about the different steroids and what is best for me for these problems.

Peptides and GH would help. Steroids would do more harm than good for rehabbing an injury.

are you using glucosamine, corgroiden, and msm?
i use a liquid kind, it works great for joints not sure how much it helps tendons.

**oot** · 05-03-2010, 06:16 PM

Im using glucosamine sulphate 1000mg capsules and fish oil 1000mg capsules I dont know what those other two are but I will look them up, everything that you guys post I find out if I don't know about or do research on so thanks.

i really like the liquid version better, i used to use caps too, liquid works better. and its not expensive, i get it at costco, i think the brand is wellness.
and the fish oil is a must.

what is corgroiden and msm? are these things I can get from a pharmacy without a note?

He meant chondroitin. It is OTC.

**gymfu** · 05-03-2010, 08:58 PM

ahhhh, yes, sorry, chondroitin, if you get the liquid it has both already.

My most recent cycle was Test, Deca & Dbol .

Up until I did that cycle, I had recurrent problems with my left knee, I think it was tendonitis.

Now my knee is fine, I run every second day and I've no problems.

I reckon there's two possibilities:

1) The steroids actually repaired my tendons/ligaments/whatever else

2) The steroids strengthened the muscle around the joint, making the joint more durable and relaxing the stress put on the connective tissues

Either way, it worked. My knee's 100% now.

I would start with time off and rehab with some MSM. If that fails and you have the means HGH I tore my MCL and was back in the gym working hard 4 weeks after surgey with no pain. I would stay away from the roids but every ones body reacts difrent so do what works for you

**oot** · 05-04-2010, 06:43 AM

See what I mean? lots of different opinions, some people saying deca worked for them and others telling me to stay away, this is where I am stuck as what to do, I have rehabed my shoulder impingement once before but it comes back, I have a weak shoulder and arm on that side and that side is more underdevelopedhan my good side, maybe I need to take a steroid to get my muscle strength up whilst on lights weights?

[QUOTE] Why dbol? and what was the amount you were taking and how many times a week?

Ostio bi flex with joint sheild has ALL the goodies for joint heath and flexability. Exept deca . I'm all kinds of jackt it helps me a lot. Along w 9g of fish oil threwout the day. Deca is good but u need to rehab as much as possable to know your limmitations. And weigh goods and bads u can grow boobies w that stuff.

I was doing a "dirty bulk", I wanted to put on as much beef as possible as quickly as possible, so I went with Test, Deca , Dbol .

(I would have tried Trenbolone but I'm still afraid of it)

My cycle ended up being as follows:

Dbol -- Week 1-6 -- 30mg per day
(Then I took a break from Dbol for two weeks but went back on it at the end)
Dbol -- Week 9-11 -- 30mg per day

Test E -- Week 1-11 -- About 800mg per week
Deca -- Week 1-9 -- About 600mg per week

Loads of steroids can "give you boobies" but it depends entirely how naturally susceptible you are to gynacomastia.

I, for example, can inject 1 gram of Test E per week and also take 600mg of Deca per week without any breast development at all.

Others are prone to gynocomastia and need to take drugs to prevent it (e.g. take Letrozole to prevent gyncomastia caused by high Estrogen)
