the ones with sudden strength gains are usually the ones causing the worst problems. Tren and winny can do some, but i've never experienced any myself

if you run deca - it will pull water into your joints so that if you currently have pains, they will subside while you are on your cycle. If you run winny, winny tends to dry up your joints and most people complain about joint pains. Most steroids that are highly androgenic will pull water into your joints giving them the "cushion" that you need like deca, dbol, high amounts of test, etc. Winny is the only one that I am aware of that will dry them up. I ran winny for 6 weeks and didn't have a problem with my joints, but I was taking a gram of glucosimine/condroitine and msm a day to prevent those side effects
Hope that helps

Winie is extremely hard on the joints. Test is okay, dbol is actualy good due to the water retention, var is fine, Deca is excellent as it lubricates the joints, never used tbol, and Tren from what i read can be hard too

AAS cause the body to produce a less effective form of collagen which, subesequently, weakens tendons and ligaments.

I read an article a while back that was in Muscle & Fitness (or something) that actually stated that certain steroids can actually help heal damaged tendons.

My memory is very fuzzy on this, but I'm sure that I read that. Has anyone read the article or heard of this. Or, have I dreamed this whole thing up??????

I have heard plenty of people talk about winniy and yren being bad on the joints. I know deca is good on them b/c it helps lube them.

I will have first hand knowledge in a few weeks. About a year ago I was diagnosed with a strained bicept tendon. I found out today it was actually a partial tear!
I have been taking gh at 2iu's a day since march. Eq and var too. I hope this shit has healed! I know it hasn't though. It hurts when I wake up... hurts all day too.
My MRI will show if it improved or got worse.
I'll let you guys know!

I read about a doctor who actually recommends one moderate cycle of deca per year for overall health, including to help strengthen and repair joints and tendons in middle aged men. I'll see if I can find it, but it's been a while.
