Help needed!

[Dangermouse88]

Hey guys, I've been reading these forums for a couple of days now with the upmost curiosity and slight hint of desperation to find the answer I'm looking for that best suits my situation. I'm yet to find it so here I am, creating an account and asking myself.
I'm a 24 year old male, never done any form of steroids before, I've considered it but never gone there. I now face a dilemma where I tore my hamstring (grade 1) playing football on Saturday with finals just around the corner. I have an offer of Nandrolone Decanoate to help repair the muscle quicker, will this work within 3/4 weeks? Does it matter that I've never done it before, or that I'm currently not lifting weights? Of course if I were to go down this road I would definitely start lifting weights. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

not the answer you want to hear but its clearly foolish to run deca to help you heal a muscle injury, the risk vs. reward makes it not worth it.

stay off the injury and it will heal on its own.. muscle tears will heal. what will prolong the injury is being stubborn and running on it or working it out

lots of heat, some acupuncture are your best bet here.. icing it will make it feel better but will slow healing .. you want blood to flow through the muscle

you've definitely been misinformed and its a good thing you came here and asked... steve gave you great advice and you need to follow that... the one thing that I recommend with help dealing with injuries would be tb-500 but you have no reason to be running a cycle...

Abstract from the Journal of Sports Medicine

Nandrolone Decanoate and Load Increase Remodeling and Strength in Human Supraspinatus Bioartificial Tendons

Background: To date, no studies document the effect of anabolic steroids on rotator cuff tendons.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Hypothesis: Anabolic steroids enhance remodeling and improve the biomechanical properties of bioartificially engineered human supraspinatus tendons.

Methods: Bioartificial tendons were treated with either nandrolone decanoate (nonload, steroid, n = 18), loading (load, nonsteroid, n = 18), or both (load, steroid, n = 18). A control group received no treatment (nonload, nonsteroid [NLNS], n = 18). Bioartificial tendons’ remodeling was assessed by daily scanning, cytoskeletal organization by staining, matrix metalloproteinase–3 levels by ELISA assay, and biomechanical properties by load-to-failure testing.

Results: The load, steroid group showed the greatest remodeling and the best organized actin cytoskeleton. Matrix metallo-proteinase–3 levels in the load, steroid group were greater than those of the nonload, nonsteroid group (P < .05). Ultimate stress and ultimate strain in the load, steroid group were greater than those of the nonload, nonsteroid and nonload, steroid groups (P < .05). The strain energy density in the load, steroid group was greater when compared to other groups (P < .05).

Conclusions: Nandrolone decanoate and load acted synergistically to increase matrix remodeling and biomechanical properties of bioartificial tendons.

Clinical Relevance: Data suggest anabolic steroids may enhance production of bioartificial tendons and rotator cuff tendon healing in vitro. More research is necessary before such clinical use is recommended.

Okay sweet, thanks gentleman. You're right Steve, not quite the answer that I wanted to hear but I guess I'll have to do the rehab naturally. No problem.
A question while I've got you here, since I'm strongly considering a cycle during pre-season whilst training, what would one suggest for a first cycle?

 

[oxymoron]

I think of healing when i'm off lol. Last thing i'd do is go onto a cycle when ur gonna push ur body harder than normal when there is a weak point that can be damaged further.

 

[dylangemelli]

for a first cycle i would run either a test only cycle and maybe a kickstart oral or an oral on the back end... or you could try a pro hormone first... helladrol is a great first cycle...
