Long Term Trt and Tendons Knowledge or Experience

[rmacgurn]

I thought it was proven that test(exo test) can cause tendon weakness...maybe a vet/doc can chime in....

check out the injury and/or hrt stickies...theres a long post regarding this

I don't think there is any link to TRT therapy and tendon issues, more likely the issue is pushing into the higher ranges of test (beyond 1000) or adding other anabolics, like deca, var, etc and pushing more weights when we get older. the eariler post is right, it takes weeks many, to months to heal tendon and ligament issues. He hit the nail on the head. Muscles will develop must faster in strength then tendons or ligaments. so as we start lifting more, and enjoying our new found test levels our tendons are not ready for the load....hence tendonitis or worse...in my case in my early 40's using Deca/test I got so strong I did 45lb front lateral raises until one day my rotator just came apart...shoulder muscle had no problem however...just my 2 cents...

Yes...the sudden increase in strength and weight being performed and the its impact on those areas do make a lot of sense and i did similar with heavier dumbells doing the throwing em up to do presses move so i eliminated db's for a year and the tendonitis went away
