tendon repair W/EQ-test

[Joe Chop]

I read an article recently about how a test only cycle will lower collagen synthesis by 50-80% causing tendons to be more brittle and not heal as well. Then it states that if a person were to use test at 200mg per week along with EQ at 270mg (for a 200 lb man) collagen systhesis will increase by up to 340% helping tendons heal. Has anyone ever heard of this or see anything wrong with trying it? I know to never use deca at greater quantities than test but what about EQ? Any potential wood problems with this dose. I'm not looking for much in the way of gains just looking to heal up some tendons while still being able to lift . Thanks http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/an...on-health.html

I am focusing on the sentence you wrote above.The problem with tendons is they take longer to heal than a muscle does..not the same amout of blood flow.My experience has been when my tendonitis flares up it is best to lay off that area for a few weeks then go back with very light weight and higher reps.I do not think gear is the answer in this case..you will end up making the tendon problem worse than it already is.You said you are not looking for much gains just to heal...so work other body parts for awhile and let them heal.

Ok, So i'll lay off the weights a few weeksto help heal. Does anybody think the prescribed EQ/Test method will work?

best thing for this type of injury is to rest it, but I"m sure someone with more medical knowlege will come along and be more helpful, I have never heard of test/eq helping with healing process of
anything

good luck to you

Local shots of igf-1 are claimed to be great for injurys like these.

Gh works the best for repairs...Test is actually bad for your tendons, making them more brittle...EQ and Deca are fine to use...MSM and glucosomine are great also..

Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin, MSM its called something like "joint formula" make sure it has these 3 some only have 2. If you use GNC, its called Tri-Flex... You can also take Collagen supplements (my old man does for his bad shoulders, they are doing great but he also uses TriFlex) Also Vitamin B12 complex can help. I think Creatine can help also..

That sounds like a good combo.
