Hey,
I am booked in for surgery in 3 weeks. I tore my pec while working out. The surgeon is going to reattach the muscle.
I am planning on running HGH for 3 months 2iu Morn/ 2iu afternoon. Strictly taking for quicker recovery but invite all of the other good benefits that will come along with it.
Should I start taking it now or should I wait until after the surgery?
Age 40- 180lbs
Currently on TRT 200mg/week
I tore my pectoralis major tendon last year jan 3. Its annoying, but back to doing 65 lb dumbells, and chest. I wont go higher, i will never barbell press again.
All other lifts are at 100%, meaning my chest is not the limiting factor. Its the lift itself. That said i slowly progress anything now, not pushing.
Dont take anything until after surgery. You want the tendon to heal.
I did take bpc and tb for 3 weeks after surgery.
Then its just slowly doing PT…
Now best thing is find a good PT, some just go through motions, and some push for sport ready.
Return to sport time is 9 months. NO open chain exercises until 6-7 months. Rest is close chain. And litterally like you have a new arm.
Do not cycle until its fully healed. Only trt. Meaning 9 months healed.
Do stair stepper and bike while in cast,
No treadmill or elliptical.
I also work in a PT office.
Ask any questions you wish.
Stay on TRT, HGH is fine too.
I was told you only get one redo, do not tear the same tendon 2x.
Sorry, but unfortunately, you wont do much until 9 months from now, that involves sports
That said, do all the legs you want,
I did stretching, as long as your arm doesnt sway away from body, and walking too.
Also look up cross-education. I didnt do this, but it works apparently.
