    Actually Demon it was probably the strength gains on that cycle that gave you the tendonitis. Deca is great at lubing the joints and wouldn't give you the dryness that say Eq does, aggravating the condition.

    The only chemical assistance that will help you with actual tendon healing is GH. I just started my fist cycle of it this week and will let you know how it goes.

    You are not quite correct here, Toolman.

    I agree that Demon's tendonitis was probably due to the stress he put on his system while cycling. However, GH is NOT the only compound that heals tendons. Deca, Equipoise (EQ) and Anavar (Oxandralone) are all known to promote collagen synthesis.

    BTW...if you you play any sports that require explosive movments (jumping, sprinting, throwing, swinging), then stay away from winstrol which is notorious for promoting tendon damage.

    I stand corrected then. However if the tendon actually heals with Deca and Eq, why is my pain relief only while on cycle with deca? As for the Eq, it is cycles with that that aggravate tendonitis for me the most.

    The reaons you feel joint and tendon comfort while using deca is that Deca not only promotes collagen synthesis, it also promotes water retention which helps ease pain in joints and tendons. While EQ promotes collagen synthesis, it does not increase water retention nearly as much as Deca. In fact, one could say that EQ does not promote water retention at all. Therefore, one would feel more joint comfort on Deca than on EQ.
