In my opinion, GH will help repair your tendon more quickly, just don't jump into things too fast if you do take it. It has been shown to increase collagen synthesis while running test only (without deca or eq in particular) can actually decrease collagen synthesis significantly. I have found...

I think you can. I like that quote that goes something like "it's not about what you need to do as much as it is about what you need to give up." (Sorry if I butchered that.) But yeah, if you move and your lifestyle revolves around this, then you should be fine. If you move and you have to have...

A lot of options really, and none of them are really too bad. Just kind of depends on what type of injury and how serious. First thing I'd check is range of motion and pain associated with that. If you are able to move around in all directions without a great deal of pain, you may not be too far...

Question man... I've heard guys say taking Milk Thistle reduces pumps (but maybe also effectiveness)? Any thoughts? Thanks! (Haven't been on here in a while, but good to see RADAR posting! I put a lot of stock into his advice.....) (Oh, and are you still eating the gelatin on a regular...

AGREE^^^ Don't be scared to take ibuprofen or something similar on occasion and if you really do only "on occasion", then you can get by with taking considerably more than what is recommended for a single dose otherwise. Does celebrex associated with increased risk of heart attacks? I remember...

I added some Mastren (I think was the name of it) to a cycle once and it seemed like it kept me pretty dry. It's been a while ago, so I don't remember exactly....overall, yeah man! Give it a go! (Assuming it fits into your history, etc., of course.)

It's weird how nearly everyone seems to like the way BBer's looked in the 70's better than today. What's driving it if that's truly what the fans think? Or is it just that people on this board tend to think that more so than others? I'm just curious...I'm not a huge fan of bodybuilding as a...

If you're taking Test as HRT, then it won't matter. The way opiates lower testosteron is by affecting the feedback and lowering LH. So if you're on HRT, you're probably shut down anyway, so it won't matter. Then there are all of the other issues mentioned which are true. It can screw with your...

I think some sides kick in pretty quickly - mainly the water retention that it sounds like you're experiencing. I would see what 2IU's does for another week or two. If it seems OK, go up. If you need to back off the sides reduce pretty quickly....at least for me.

Yeah. We are all different. Ideally you do your own research and check your reactions, etc. - just like you do. No study or other person's experiences will be alike, but you have to start with some information... I mean even the title mentions the articles for deficient adults, etc., etc. But...

Some guys mentioned oxycontin (like vicoden but stronger). If you take this consistently, it lowers your endogenous testosterone (your own). I don't think Aleve or Tylenol will do a lot to hurt testosterone production (as far as I know), but taking Aleve consistently will hurt the inflammatory...

7 years later - a bump? Hey, the liver's still important.

The NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) - as the name implies - decrease the inflammation response to injuries, and strength training deals with damaging tissues and then repairing them. So if you are on 6 Aleve's every day, that probably will have a negative impact on your gains...

Unfortunately, it depends on a few things: -genetics -body fat / calorie intake -how you lift and built the muscle originally (IMO) If you carry higher bodyfat and lift heavy along with having a bigger frame, your chances for keeping muscle during a layoff are better IMO. Also, if you are way...

Awesome...I'd take EQ over Deca anytime anyway... Also, I may be wrong (I love your answers with actual facts rather than guesses - which I am even guilty of)......but I seem to have seen even higher percentages before on HGH. No offense to bodybuilders, but they might be able to get by with...
