TB500 - How long to wait after surgery?

[Wol]

Am having bilateral hip surgery for cam lesions and labral tears soon and was wanting to take TB500 post surgery to speed up the recovery.

How long should I wait after the surgery before taking it? Would it be better to take it immediately (even though I will be immobile) or after say 3-6 weeks when the rehab starts, or even later when I'm actually back into proper training, squats etc? The first 3 weeks are only focused on protecting the hip and regaining some passive ROM so no training/exercises as such.

Also, because I am having some bone shaved down - is there any research on TB500 and bone growth? Obviously I do NOT want that bone to come back and I'm unsure if TB500 may cause that?

No bone growth with TB- doesnt work that way.
Id start the Tb500 post surgery at a low dose, like 2mg/week split into 2-1mg doses. Then when the PT starts id run it at 4mg/week split into 2-2mg doses (like mon/thrus). Id run it at that for 4 weeks then drop it back to 2mg/week (2-1mg doses/week mon thurs)for the next 4 weeks.
Best of luck!

Thanks jimmyinkedup.

Would there be any advantage to starting a low dose before the surgery (if the TB arrives in time) or am I better just to wait until after?

Sarms apparently stimulate bone growth. And perhaps mk-677. All are low side effect orals. Check them out. Good luck

Thanks, but I mentioned I do NOT want bone growth.

Hey mate, how did the OP go?
Did you commence on TB 500?
