first cycle post-biceps tendon rupture

I'm going to be starting a Test E/Eq cycle next week and want to get the dosage right. Here's the background: Back in February, I ruptured my left distal biceps tendon in my opening deadlift at a powerlifting meet. Reattachment surgery was a few days later. It's been healing long enough that I can get back to lifting seriously.

Now, I want to make EQ a big part of all my cycles for the foreseeable future to take advantage of its restorative effects on tendons. I'll be running it at 400mg/week. The question is really about dosing the Test E. Should I run it at 500mg/week, as I would if I weren't recovering from a slow-healing injury, or would that amount inhibit collagen synthesis in the tendon and counteract the benefits of the EQ?

I read somewhere that when using EQ for tendon health you should keep test to 200mg/week.

Any input about the dosage (or recommendations for anything else to include in the cycle), especially from people who've experienced similar injuries, would thoroughly make my day.

Honestly, none of this has been proven. EQ can actually dry out the joints. GH is what you need in addition to using proper form. Power-lifting is very hard on the joints/tendons and some people do not have thick tendons to begin with. Lowering testosterone decreases strength-hence making the joints, etc heal. D-bol and anadrol can really make the tendons ache!
