Muscle and tendon

[godowndm11]

Does AAS play a role in damaging tendons in the body over time ? Especially with lifting you see alot of injuries, can it be deterioration of ligament or tendon ?

What usually happens is your muscles grow faster on cycle than your connective tissues do. So injuries happen that way

 

[stevesmi]

yes they do. you cannot build strong soft tissues abusing steroids.. this is why we always cycle off steroids to allow the body to get stronger

 

[dylangemelli]

absolutely they do... they put a lot of internal strain on tendons, ligaments, etc... using them being too undersized can further this problem due to growing too quickly or abusive use can cause it as well

Steroids increase muscle protein synthesis but decease collagen synthesis in the body
