TweetThis is why Deca is my go to in the offseason and inseason like now I have 900mg of EQ in my stack. Got to take care of yourself or you will spend lots of time injured.
TweetSome of you may have already read this article, but ill post it for the people that havent because i think its a good read. I forgot who it was written by. It got cut off when i saved it.
While injecting test increases protein synthesis by roughly 50 times, depending on dose and time, most bodybuilders forget that it will reduce collagen synthesis by more than 50% -- more like 80%, giving you the collagen synthesis rate of a senior citizen. Since collagen makes up tendons, bros are very prone to injury if they continue to lift very heavy, unless they cycle off T and let their collagen synthesis get back to normal. It's like having the skeletal muscle of a gorilla with the tendons of a very old man.
Winstrol increases collagen synthesis. It will give you bigger tendons. However, your body compensates for this by making them more brittle, weaker, and more prone to injury. I can't tell you how many bros work out anaerobically and become injured while on Winstrol. Guys who lift in the 1-5 rep range while on Winstrol, to baseball players who sprint all out from a stationary position -- Winstrol should be the LAST drug they choose. Most of them like Winstrol because they don't get the weight gain from it but it is very detrimental to bros who train for any sport anaerobically. Tendons tear easily on it.
Also, the drugs I mention increase collagen synthesis while also increasing collagen cross-linking integrity, making for a much stronger tendon.
Winstrol, on the other hand, will dramatically increase collagen synthesis, but ironically it decreases collagen cross-linking integrity, thus making a much weaker tendon.
You can plan a cycle of AAS which will increase collagen synthesis and skeletal muscle growth at the same time. The key is the drug(s) you choose.
Deca, Equipoise, Anavar, and Primobolan will ALL increase skeletal muscle while at the same time dramatically increase collagen synthesis and bone mass and density, leaving you with a substantially reduced chance of becoming injured than if you choose to use AAS like sus, cyp, or enth.
While testosterone will increase bone mass and density, even at supra-physiological levels, the result is weaker tendons due to inhibition of collagen synthesis.
To plan a cycle where the goal is to increase skeletal muscle mass/strength while at the same time increase joint/tendon/ligament strength, enough to keep up with the dramatic increase in skeletal muscle, you must choose drugs like Eq, Deca, Anavar, or Primo as the base of your cycle. Testosterone and its esters can be added to your cycle to keep levels within a 'normal' physiological range (ie, 100-200 mg/wk) but must not go above this. Since drugs like eq, deca, anavar and primo will reduce endogenous, natural levels of test, these levels may be maintained with exogenous test in the 100-200 mg/wk range. Test at this dose will not inhibit collagen synthesis, but paradoxically, will help increase it. It is when exogenous testosterone is used > 200 mg/wk that collagen synthesis is inhibited.
Deca @ 3 mg/kg a week(about 270 mg/wk for a 200 lb male) will increase procollagen III levels by 270% by week 2. Procollagen III is a primary indicator used to determine the rate of collagen syn. As you can see, Deca is a very good drug at giving you everything you want -- an increase in collagen synthesis, an increase in skeletal muscle, and increases in bone mass and density. The one thing it does not give you is wood.
Primobolan, @ 5 mg/kg, will increase collagen synthesis by roughly 180% -- less than deca and equipoise but still substantial.
Equipoise @ 3 mg/kg will increase procollagen III by approximately 340% -- slightly better than deca.
Oxandrolone has over a hundred studies documenting its effectiveness at treating patients needing rapid increases in collagen synthesis to enhance healing.
These drugs have longer half-lives than most other AAS, so this should be considered when timing your post cycle Clomid use. Here they are:
Deca: 15 days Equipoise: 14 days Primobolan: 10.5 days
Anavar has a half-life of only 8 hours so it should not pose a problem.
GH is probably the most remarkable drug at increasing collagen synthesis. It increases collagen synthesis in a dose dependant manner -- the more you use, the more you will increase collagen syn. It has also demonstrated this ability in short and long term studies. From what I've read, hGH at 6 iu/day increased the collagen deposition rate by around 250% in damaged collagen structures. This result indicates that the increased biomechanical strength of wounds to collagen structures treated with biosynthetic human growth hormone was produced by an increased deposition of collagen in the collagen structures.
Eq, primo, anavar, and deca are all good -- they increase several biomakers of collagen synthesis -- ie, type III, II, I, procollagen markers. GH just seems to do so most dramatically.
Use of any of these drugs @ supra-physiological levels with a maintenance dose of test will increase collagen syn while at the same time increase skeletal muscle mass. Skeletal muscle mass gains will not be as dramatic as with large testosterone doses but you have to weigh the risk/reward basis for yourself. Also, these drugs do not satisfy the libido like testosterone, but that is not the point of this thread. It is only to demonstrate that you can increase skeletal muscle and collagen synthesis at the same time with certain AAS -- the decision is up to you.

Tweetthat's why i just run every oil and tabs together lil bit of this lil bit of that its my method very scientific
TweetLol indeed. Your cycle is like a giant crock pot of anabolics that have been simmering for 8 weeks. Its a whole bunch of shit mixed together but the end result is always very tasty. I know you can appreciate a good food analogy.

TweetIt makes a huge difference. I can feel things like tren wreck havoc on my tendons if i run them too long. However deca comes in to save the day. Im done with deca though. Going to try experimenting with npp and see if i still get that sweet relief.

TweetYea I made the mistake before while on Tren A, Tren E, Test P, Mast Prop, Var and 120mg of Winny a day of going a bit too heavy while getting ready for a show. Got a bit spunky on the bench and man my right shoulder felt like someone held a torch to it. To me those last weeks of show prep are the time you are most likely to injure yourself.

TweetSorry bout the double post but I forgot Halo lol. I don't see how to delete it either if someone will help.
Tweetnpp rarely makes an exit out of my plan ever. only last few weeks of contest prep and that's about it. low dose eq can do wonders for the old joints and tendons also as long as you stay on top of your rbc

TweetNpp is great, without the bloat and winky problems.
Var is way to under utilized. Works faster than all with the least sides. The problem is making sure you have real var... gh is incredible also, but takes to long before reaping the benefits..
TweetI was COMPLETLY unaware of the loss of collagen synthesis caused by Testosterone!!! I am glad I have been using Deca for joint pain relief (I do not have joint pain, been using it as a preventative measure)!
TweetGuns, do you think the raise in RBC from eq is that much more significant compared to all other AAS? I try to donate about 16-20 weeks, 16 is like the maximium here for double red blood cells. but because I stay on at least 500mg's of test year round with some other things I'm always worried about RBC. That's the one thing that's ever kept me from trying equipoise so far.
