so ive got a on going shoulder problem atm, just curious if anyone has gone on cycle with a shoulder injury? or any injury? did you find it helped with recovery? im talking little niggles/ tightness im not meaning broken bones or anything serious jus little injurys.

mines more of a niggle feels tight in my front right delt, gets lil bit sore from chest have avoided training shoulders for two weeks.. its getting better though xrays yet to come back getting acupuncture next week

Sounds like rotator cuff injury. AAS slows down ligament/tendon recovery so I would say you're looking at getting hurt more easily.

didn't know it slowed down ligament tendon recovery cheers for that info! forever learning

it comes and goes doesn't help my jobs physical as it gets.

I believe it's the collagen synthesis that it slows down. Which is what ligamens and tendons are made of. I wouldn't start a cycle until you are healthy.

I was meant to start two weeks ago when my shoulder was fine but work stuffed it up again so im back to square one so fucking annoying. just wana start been planning this cycle for nearly 3 months..

Do some research to find out if it is your rotator cuff bothering you. If it is, do some strengthening exercises and always warm them up pwo. I had problems with both of my rotator cuffs and this helped me.

its my first time ever being injured since I started lifting so im all new to the 'taking it easy' approach on things, the acupuncture guy told me its definitely not a tendon problem ive been doing light rotator cuff exercises EOD at the gym pre workout, its on the mend for sure. just curious if the aas would help that's all

Actually, let me correct my previous statement. Most steroids will impede collagen synthesis but there are a couple that would help. The only one that I can think of is HGH but I may be wrong. Either way, you'd need some deep pockets.
