Another newbie question: if you're in the middle of a cycle, and you have the crap luck to get ill - like flu - or injured seriously enough that you have to stop all training for a week or two, do you stop the cycle? Do you stop the high protein intake too? And how soon after you start training...

Thanks for the response PR Alan

I had an MRI scan and X rays of my shoulder on Friday, with a view to surgery to repair what the surgeon thinks is a rotator cuff tear. Obviously I'll get a whole lot more detail before I decide to go for it. But I'd appreciate anyone's opinion on the idea. Especially from anyone who's had this...

No sir, but I have to take cortisone for chronic allergy, so I was wondering whether just taking AAS would do the job of the cortisone. Alan

Another newbie question: I know that cortico-steroids like prednisone suppress the body's immune response, which is why they're useful for allergies. Do AAS's have a similar effect? I can't really ask my doc... thanks Alan

I'm a newbie with substances, and I have what's probably an ignorant question. I see the suggested Deca cycles on muscle websites prescribe between 100 and 400 mg per week, for six or eight weeks. Would it do any good to use a low dose - say 25 to 50 mg - for say six months? Would there be bad...

I am a newbie. I've got an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon next week for exactly the same problem. It's an old rotator injury from an army assault course. Now every time I work up to a half decent weight with bench press or military press, my shoulder holds me back. Had buckets of...

Oh man....I'm very much a newbie here, and I'm eating 5 to 7 whole eggs every day! Plus 2,5 liters full cream milk. And I still take weeks to put on one kilogram of bodyweight. Talk about a slow gainer....

I have an old rot. cuff injury from an army assault course many years ago, which flares up when I train hard. I've had physiotherapy, NSAID's, cortisone injections - nothing helps for long. Do these things ever really heal? Has anyone had surgery for a rot cuff tear? Did it work? What do you...

Is it a good idea to take aspirin for minor joint problems? I've seen it suggested in a sports injury book. Thanks from a newbie A

Thank you for the info

If you inject into say your right vastus lateralis, is that muscle likely to grow bigger than the same muscle on the left side which is not injected? Also, if you have a weakness in a muscle group, say calves, is there any benefit in injecting into them? Or is the substance distributed equally...

Please can some wise person tell me what Decapeptyl is and if it has an anabolic effect? I've searched the 'net, and all I found is a medical dissertation saying it reduces natural testosterone levels, and causes marked increase in body fat - which doesn't sound bodybuilder friendly... If it...
