need tendon strength... Too many injuries

[Boomer]

Hey guys I was wondering if there is anything to do that will strengthen my tendons.. I have tendonitis in my right wrist (dont know how I got it) and now what I think is the tendons in my left elbow are stuffed! (arm wrestling and then the next day the pain was unreal. I didn't even wrestle that hard but this pain always comes after arm wrestling)

I'm about to go on my first cycle (once injuries subside) and I'm worried that with the additional strength I might injur myself again.

Do tendons increase in size and strength as your muscle do with traning?

With your back straight and your head to the front perform the partial deadlifts.

The reason for this is because the danger of the bar not being properly supported is far too great to risk. Stands must be directly below the loaded barbell at all times. With the bar approximately six inches lower than your shoulders, load the bar with considerably more weight than you are accustomed to squatting with for full repetitions. Position yourself under the bar with your back straight and your knees bent. Then, straighten your knees and lift the weight off the rack. Wait for a brief period, bend your knees once again a few inches, and straighten your legs once again.</TD><TD align=middle>5</TD><TD align=middle>5</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

That will help in building the tendons up. There's only so much you can do with building tendon strength, most of it is genetics, but these will help you out a little bit to build up some strength and will make it a little less harmful when you go heavier weights.

Not a problem bro, hopefully things subside for you. It sucks, when I was powerlifting my tendons were always fucked, but I learned to train smarter and really focus on "clean up training" which to me basically meant doing the little things to build stabilizer muscles to handle more weight. Even if it was nothing more than putting a ton of weight on a squat rack and just unracking the weight and standing there with it on my back to get my core and spine stabilizers to be used to handling the weight before I ever attempted it. Ice, icyhot and ibuprofen were my best friends for a while.

Alot of people swear Deca helps tendons joint and ligaments, because of the fact that it is proven to help strengthen bones...I think it is possible, plus the water retention may help certain factors that are involved in such injuries or issues you may be having.

deca, EQ, HGH are great for tendons
