Scar Tissue

[NATE]

I'm looking for opinions on how much injecting into scar tissue affects the gear?

reason- all my cycles have contained prop ed ...rotations:

r-glute
r-quad
l-quad
l-glute

and bi's when and if the r-glute isn't ready.


this is my third cycle and i'm runing into ALOT of scar tissue. This cycle isn't netting me what the last have...is this the reason?

Re: Scar Tissue

what are you doing to break up scare tissue? I usually have a lot after a cycle but with heat and and rubbing it out but the next cycle I am good to go...

Re: Scar Tissue

have you tried putting heat on it? I know for me personally no matter what I do while on there is always something there, its not until I come off that it starts to become effective.

For my prop I usually just hit the tri's while the long last compounds I hit gluts and quads.

Re: Scar Tissue

I dont think scar tissue has any negative effect on the meds you're taking. You'll just need to increase guage if you're havin a problem pushin it in.

nate, try a 18g on the bi's and let me know how it goes! OUCH!Y

I hear crunchies when i shoot bi and delts sometimes

Re: Scar Tissue

scar tissue will not allow the stuff to absorb correctly from what I have read so you have to increase the the size od the needle but that creates more. I tried an 18g once and that was enough for me lol

I dart very slowly so going through it isn't a problem just deal with the crunches and go through them. pushing the gear in is a little rough but i deal with it....

if you remember a while back i got desperate and hit a 20 gauge...that was an expierence let me tell you.

I would love to be able to do tri's or delts but i can't. I'm not steady enough and aspirating is nearly impossible as i move around WAY to much.

Ever since i read a post on a guy darting calves ona regular basis i'm tempted to hit them as i know its pure muscle ( the reason i hit the teardrop in my quads)..but man..100mgs of prop in a calf is a little tough to get by....

Re: Scar Tissue

I have found that laying down to do the tris makes it easy for me and using the insulin needle may take a little more time but worth it, but your a few pounds bigger then me so you still might have some trouble

I'm not a fan of darting an area i can't see. My hands are fubar' from sports and boxing and shake when i dart. it's impossible for me to hold and aspirate with one hand and i know it so i stay away from areas that call for it.

Yes, find someone who is a LMT, not CMT. The Licensed ones usually have better schooling. I would find someone with experience in scare tissue. The lady I go to has like 10 years experience working with post injury clients. Most her business comes from doctors because she really know her stuff. Hurts like hell to have that stuff broke up and when you do, you have to ice the hell out of it. I had a lot of scare tissue in my bicep tendon at the top under the delt. That is some of the worst pain but I feel so much better after it's over. She even found scar tissue in some of my muscle bellies from who knows when and that too was painful but it eventually goes away. One thing to take note on, when she would break up a lot of scar tissue she told me not to lift anything that would require that muscle to work and if it was unavoidable I needed to ice it immediately. The last thing you want is the scar tissue to come back. It's better to have some major therapy and skip the gym for a couple weeks than to need therapy for life. IMO

Thanks T-man!

Still, my question was "How much does scar tissue affect gear?"
