tendons

[nicecannons]

im 4 weeks into test/deca/eq cycle but a couple of old injuries have flared up as ive upped my weight.my left arm bicep tendons are sore and my right arm tricep tendons are same.training all muscle groups hurt so im having a full week off.do you think i should stop cycle and rest longer or carry on cycle and come back but train light and more cardio.

Might as well train lighter, do more cardio and try to get ripped. Its summer anyhow. Dont blow a tendon out trying too hard.

yeah just pissed off because strength was really coming big time.more into strength than bb my bf is 18% so im not the leanest

Sometimes i just get tendonitius in my elbows. I take a few advils before the gym and it goes away in a few weeks.

Tricep tendons injury's are the worst...It's not going to heal in 2 or 3 days....If your at the begining of cycle id say stop,only because its not going to heal if you keep lifting on it.Unless your lucky or how bad it is..Been there done that ruined a good cycle for me....GL

the tricep injury is slight.its the bicep which is really sore.doesnt help that my job is physical too.taking anti inflams and icing.

Tendon injuries are quite common with steroid application ... muscles become stronger and cortisol get suppressed enough to push through the normal pain barriers ,but those poor tendons get no help at all .

4 weeks in i wouldn't stop ... if anything go after your legs like there's no tomorrow if you can't work upper body , i did that once when i had a rotator cuff injury half way through a coucre .

Tell you one thing ... thats the best my legs ever looked in my entire life because i was hitting them on average 3 times aweek .

Totaly your call .. stop the cycle and save the gear for a later date or keep your levels up and change your training platform till your healed up properly .

The suppression of cortisol suppresses the level of perceived pain...where did you come up with that?!

fastest way to heal and prevent an on coming injury is to switch to higher reps

What i meant to imply was in normal cortisol function , cortisol converts protiens to energy, releasing glycogen and counteracts inflamation .

Sorry for the confusion .. i know what i was thinking but typed something else ..

Think you still get the point though , we all know that during steroid treatments the muscle grow way faster then the tendons have a chance of catching up to so injuries are quite common when training heavy .
