Hey guys,
i am new to the board and just wanted to say hi to everyone. i am 24 and a recent college grad. i have been into bb for like 4-5 years but have been trainig since 14. anyway i need some advice. i just found out that i have a torn rotator cuff, torn rear delt, and tendonitus in my bicep. i dont have insurance yet, since i just graduated---so surgery is gonna have to wait. here is the deal though. i was trying to get back into the sport after like a 10 month crash (i got soooooooo burned out) and stopped training, dieting, cardio, and basically everything. i never thought i would allow myself to do that but i was soooo sick of bb that i needed to, for my mental health. but now that i am mentally pumped to get back into the gym , i get this shitty injury. it is the worst thing i think i can go through. i already feel like a pussy. i mean i know everyone has an "i used to be " story, but at my peak (23 yrs old) i was pretty jacked for my age. i was 225-230 at about 7-8% and 6 foot. after the break i took (i call it an all out crash) i am sittin at 205-208 and probally 10-11%. i need to get back in it but how do i do this with the injury.
i can only use machines to train chest, and cant do any shoulders. i was thinking of running moderate doses of eq (400-600 mg/week for 10 -12 weeks) and just using very strict form on all upper body movements and kill my legs. but then i started thinking of some gh or igf-1, but to be honest i have no idea how to use that stuff or even have a good source for it. like i said i wont have insurance for like 5 months, and if i werent already behind i dont think i would consider any gear, but i am a meat head and dont think i can stand any more atrophy. i need to do something, any advice would help. thanks boyz----------- john
