Hurting from workouts? Does the igf help with tendon pain?
"Hurting" Lol!!
It's a word I use when I am whipped from hard worked or working out or both....
Tendons started hurting last week or 2.
IGF helps my tendons like nothing else!!!!!!
The stimulation of IGF from using hgh does too, overtime but nothing like IGF, or better both together!!
I started proviron and stopped deca and NPP.
The stack I am on is dry in my opinion.
Using 12.5mg trest ace is low and really just helps keep high test feeling with Lower test.
I use alot of DHT roids and they crush my tendons!!
Also testosterone does as well being it's DHT converted.
My stack right now is this
Test E 25mg everyday
Test prop 35mg everyday
Trest Ace 12.5mg everyday
Mast E 30mg everyday
Mast p 30mg everyday
Primo E 65mg everyday
DHB (TEST-1-CYP) 75mg everyday
Proviron 50mg everyday used 75-100 some days
Expermenting to drop adex and pretty much have!!
Nolva 20mg 2x wk ATM!! Trying to stop Nolva cause of lowered IGF side!!
Cabar 0.25mg 2x wk
HGH 5IU everyday
MT2 250mcg 3x week
Will add IGF right into muscles pre-workout and in area of tendon pain. Will use on workout days and prolly 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.
IGF really helps my tendons ASAP!!! It does it almost instantly. But if i let tendons get inflamed to the point of tendonitis or tendonosis then it takes time with some rest.
I will start wearing elbow sleeves I been curling 50lb dbs and they will do it, plus I use 60lb and give some help with other hand to get around 6 reps..
For me 50lb dumbbells on up put tendons on both sides of elbow in bind even flipping them up for presses on a bench etc.... I have to avoid db presses for this reason.
My profession also puts constant wear and tear on tendons reaching pulling and turning wrist back and forth....
My right shoulder i got to be careful or else!!
I have a weight I go up to when I feel good physical, but I never lift higher than that anymore!!! Part of aging!!
This is reason I now workout by keeping a load on muscles making them perform contracting them without much rest periods. It's a way I can make them grow to adapt to that load and length without going heavier with told lbs in one lift or sets of lift...
I have lifted for 25 years total and without any break except for a surgery with say 4 week break with nothing, it's been 14 years I went at this rate.
I have been much much bigger 7-8 years ago but didn't stay as lean most of time. Meaning I would cut to 10% and lean bulk at 13-14%.
I also notice staying under 12% even and especially under 9% my tendons hurt more. My muscles can take the weight but when leaner my tendons hurt more!!!!
I said alot.... lol!!
But IGF 1lr3 really helps my tendons more than anything else. Combo with tb500 supposed to help as well but I haven't practiced TB500 much!!
The healing part of IGF on bones, soft tissue tendons, ligaments etc etc is what I am amazed with.
Cell splitting and regrowth of more rather than death and deteriorating is the key. And important to know these cells need to mature and that takes time, it's not like steroids.
It's accumulative and once started new cells continue to grow and mature.
Everything about bones and connective tissue, IGF has important role. And kids with conditions are treated with IGF to have growth In bones!!!
Our bones stop growing, but they need constant way to be strong just like our teeth. These connective tissues and bone health deteriorate with age and our Hgh which makes our liver produce IGF, those 2 things decline after age of 30 significantly.
Yes our other hormones like testosterone stimute IGF production etc..
But testosterone also lowers collagen at higher doses.
Deca helps, EQ, helps, primo and anavar help with collagen or they stimulate rather than Lower it!!
Do they heal these solf connective tissues. I would say not really!!!
They cause cell growth and collagen production but they do nothing for healing like IGF and or Hgh does.
HGH does this thru IGF stimulation for most part.
HGH has other benifits besides just IGF stimulation.
But for most part IGF is responsible for anabolic and growth that hgh causes!!!
So it's something along these lines, an easy way to put It! IGF the way i will put it is, we have cells that need repair, IGF will react in these cells, it will start them healing and also cause that cell for example to split into another cell making 2 cells for repairing a damaged tendon or muscle cell for example. This can speed up process by not only healing that injured cell but creating a new cell in the fiber allowing it to strengthen....
If I have a tendon that can only take so much but if I can add more cells to that total # in that tendon then.. it's like re-enforcing a structure or adding more brades to a rope or cable with an added section. This Is a way I am trying to explain.
In this one post I have been thru 3 phone calls and even gaming to stop and unload something at home. On phone posting on go is tough sometimes. Hope i made sense
