IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) plays a significant role in the repair and maintenance of tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues in the body. Tendons, in particular, can benefit from the presence and actions of IGF-1 during the healing process. 1. **Healing and Repair:** IGF-1...

In bodybuilding, the focus often centers on muscle development, but ensuring the health and strength of tendons and ligaments is equally important to prevent injuries and support overall strength. Some supplements and nutrients can potentially aid in tendon health: 1. **Collagen**: Collagen is...

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is a protein hormone that plays a role in promoting cell growth, including the growth of muscle cells and connective tissues like tendons. In the context of tendon health, IGF can have both positive and negative effects: 1. **Stimulating Tendon Growth:** IGF-1...

Tendon health is crucial in bodybuilding, as strong and healthy tendons are essential for supporting heavy weights and preventing injuries. Here are some tips to help you maintain and promote tendon health in your bodybuilding routine: 1. Gradual Progression: Avoid the temptation to lift heavy...

After doing multiple searches, I also found this. I guess you decide. This is using Anavar. The other study used test and deca and winstrol. There's plenty to consider as your rats get older and they keep studying AAS in their bodies. -- Steroids and Exercise May Improve Recovery of Rotator...

My rats are having rotator cuff pain and elbow (tendinitis) pain, so I did some searching. It's scientific and the tables are a challenge to read, but if you dig science check it out! Full tables can be seen in the link below! Looks like winstrol could be out for my rats' future, maybe...

How do Tendons react to different movements and load ? ⁣ Most people like to talk about the impact that resistance has on muscles.. but what if we take a look at the impact it has on the other tissues ? ⁣ ⁣ In this post, we dive into a little bit of material science and learn more about the...

When we talk about tendon stiffness, we're essentially discussing how well a tendon can transmit force. A less stiff tendon can be thought of as a thin rubber band whereas a stiffer tendon would be a much thicker rubber band. Which one snaps with more force? The thicker one, of course! Adding...

Patellar tendinitis (inflammation) and patellar tendinopathy (disease, abnormal condition) “jumpers knee” is an issue that might make it hard to perform exercises that require more load on the quads from bending at the knee joint. This is the tendon that bring together the thigh muscles over the...

𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐁 . . . 💥 Patellar tendon issues? Achy knee? Right in the front? Well here is how you can begin the process of strengthening the tendon and surrounding structures to help it adapt! Isometrics are commonly used initially for tendons which is when a muscle is being contracted...

I tore my common tendon on inside of elbow in half and broke some of the bone off with it. Had surgery with metal cables and anchors to put it back together. What's your opinions on the best thing to take to help things along?

Lifters often forego isometric training as they feel it won’t have much impact on hypertrophy. While that may have some truth to it, isometric training is incredibly beneficial for joint health. This study found that isometric training significantly increased patella tendon stiffness compared to...

Many people have goal physiques and seek to obtain a level of leanness or muscular development of someone else. There's not much wrong with this, as long as you take into account that how your muscles exactly look when they grow for a large part depends on genetic factors. - For example, where...

Dorian Yates' First & Last Times On the Olympia Stage 1991: Orlando, FL I’d won my first professional contest in May of that year, the Night of Champions. In the eyes of many, I was already a legitimate contender for the Mr. Olympia title based not so much on that win, but on the improvements...

GENE EXPRESSION IN TENDS/COLLAGEN AFTER HEAVY AAS USE Researchers in the European Journal of Applied Physiology examined how heavy use of the anabolic steroid Deca-Durabolin affected collagen strength in rats. The rats were separated into two groups: natural training and training with heavy...

Q: “I’ve read that testosterone usage impairs tendon growth, Deca Durabolin and Equipoise promote it, and Winstrol makes tendons brittle. I really don’t know what to do as rat studies may not tell the whole stories. I love testosterone and am no fan of Deca or Equipoise, and am pretty fond of...

Similar to bridging... what do you guys drop down to... and what drugs do you use say for a period of less intense training? I've gone down as low as 200mg every 10 days of Cyp, but without Deca I lose alot of strength and I get quite a bit of joint and tendon pain. I don't train heavy at all...

I know we all have heard that HGH is good for tendons and other connective tissues, but how many of us have actually looked at studies to prove it? Lets find out! I will break down the studies with tidbits and such as I go along. The tendon study is: Growth hormone stimulates the collagen...

Enhancing Healing with BPC-157 bpc-157 BPC 157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a pentadecapeptide made up of 15 amino acids. The amino acids sequence in BPC 157 is similar to a portion of the human BPC amino acid sequence. Human BPC is found in the gastric juice. Experiments have shown that...
