You might consider sprinkling in some rest days to allow your body to recover.

Yeah. I really should. But I’m on such a roll. I’ve racked up a huge streak that I don’t wanna break. I am taking it a bit easier. I’ll allow a break every 10 minutes now if I feel I need it, and I’ll also start off the reps with shit form until I feel I can handle proper form.
I have started skipping my follow up workouts, depending on how I feel. I’ll try doing rotator cuffs and if my forearm tendons feel like they’re gonna explode I’ll call it quits before completing the first rep.
If I do have a rest day I struggle to stay asleep at night, which kinda sucks. Either way, laxing on form, having a break, and skipping some other workouts is making my push ups and pull ups a lot easier on my joints and tendons. I’ll give it a few months of this, push myself hard again, and see how I feel. If I hit a plateau from tendon or joint pain again, I’ll add some rest days.
My BP, HR, and breathing have all gone down quite a lot, so this is clearly pretty good for my CV system. If I even think about a rest day I can feel the reaper coming for me lol

I have a very similar issue, whenever my estrogen is like 1-17 pg/ml , my left shoulder tendonitis flares up, or bicep tendon that goes down from the shoulder, whatever,
that's my tell tale sign. This just happened to me recently, I stopped adex for 1 week, put it back in at half the dose, and 2 weeks later i just had a shoulder workout and It feels 80%.
For me, I'm going to increase my testosterone dose, TO my A.I dose, its easier to dial in estrogen that way.
(this might mean you have to run more testosterone if you're on a cruise)
I'm also going to be running BPC 157/TB-500 preventatively and to strengthen everything up as I continue to recover. (my e2 was probably on the too low end for 1-2 months). (I would run HGH like everyone else but its not my look)
As others have said, and if you dont care about hairloss or anything, try using Masteron for its potential SERM like effects.
i wouldn't recommend nolvadex long-term for people because it does increase blood clotting risk and has a long half life that builds up in the system, just something to think about.

I developed sciatic pain because of proviron and stanolone, stay away from DHTs and ANYTHING THAT LOWERS ESTROGENS.

EXACTLY !!!!!!!
Going with bioidentical testosterone is the only justifiable move when it comes to practical life considerations.
You don't NEED anything else, unless you get involved in things that don't trully matter, such as bodybuilding or posing in a bikini next to another oiled up dude.
For anything else that MATTERS : improving your mood, your relationships, your achievements, testosterone suffices.
Yep. Suggesting someone undergo gyno surgery in order to make a DHT an effective part of a PED stack should result in a ban on a harm reduction forum. If that's not harm -promotion- I don't know what is.

Usually you advise gyno surgery so that someone can enjoy 19nor, not DHTs.
If you have to get surgery to enjoy any fuckin' steroid then just use a compound you can tolerate. Guys out here growing tits on purpose. Jesus.

What’s the right metric for knowing if my tendons can handle more abuse?
Because I’m thinking of this:
-if my tendons are sore or tight, push them so long as I’m not experiencing pain, and as they loosen during a workout they can be pushed more
-if at any time between the completion of my previous workout and the completion of my next workout my tendons feel any worse than they did prior to my previous workout, immediately stop and do not put any more load on the tendon until they have recovered to at least where they were immediately following my last completed workout
Is this the right system to follow? Or is there a better one?
If I rest too much my tendons get stiffer and recover very slowly. Anecdotally, putting tendons through motion and load makes them feel acutely better, and I’m wondering if it’s due to growth factors or blood flow or some other shit that they feel better in the following days.

How do you loosen up your tendons? When they stretch about 4% of their length they break. That is not very far. Muscles have a far greater ability to stretch and contract. Really loose tendons and ligaments would make joints looser which would lead to less stability as i see it and more damage.
Any tightness would most likely be from swelling in the sheath the tendons are in. Forcing that fluid out may make them feel better. But i would wonder if doing that actually makes them better. Feeling tight and stiff seems to be the bodies way to say that healing needs to be done.

They “loosen” when I can take them through full ROM without pain.
If I ease into a workout enough, I can stay below a 2/10 discomfort. With a proper warm up I can get no discomfort.
If I can do a workout with very little discomfort, isn’t that a sign that I’m not doing much damage?

i experience the same thing and i have no idea, my shoulder is basically cured during a workout or even after a hot shower.
i think just taking more gear to strengthen the area is the best thing we can do
There is also a chemical that the body makes that is similar to opioids.
And when a person is in pain and needs to do something the body produces it and hides the pain. It is a survival mechanism. Plus the brain tries to ignore pain so it can do what it needs to do to so the body can survive.
Plus when a person starts moving they will cause the fluid from the swelling/inflammation to be temporarily removed form the damaged area so it feels better short term. There are multiple reasons for feeling better while moving/working out, even if more damage is being done at the same time.

So I’ve been experiencing very bad tendonitis this past year and it used to be on my Rt side only but now it’s both arms and especially when I’m doing bicep curls. I’ve been on Test Cyp 200mg/wk for years and just got off about a 400mg/wk run and now both arms are so tight I can even loosen them up with a TENS unit. I do take anastrozole 1mg when I feel my nips get stupid sensitive. Is this combo what’s causing the tendon flare up? I know we aint(probably) Drs here but if others are having same symptoms I’d like to hear some remedies bc this stuff sucks and getting bad. Thx!
