patellar tendonitis surgery

[gyno44]

i had this surgery and my knee feels great again! however i have some much atrophy in my leg i will be doing a cycle of test e and dbol to build the muscle around my knee. My question is how heavy and hard do i push my knee due to the fact it has already been injured once from squating?

Basically will my legs build muscle on steroids if i lift light but do a lot of reps?

If I were you I would focus on getting the strength back in the knee before you jump on cycle. The reason is that some of the musculature is going to lag behind due to the surgery. If you add steroids into the mix your creating an environment for muscle un-balances to pop up. Train until your legs is as close to 100% before jumping on cycle. Un-balanced musculature can lead right back into injury if proper care is not took.

Good Luck!

I would certainly expect change, beyond that is it one of those impossible questions to answer. A challenge for sure. I like to be of the mindset of no limitations...but I two have blown out my knees...so dont take my advice

Are you going to be in the gym outside of therapy? Or just the therapy?
