Approved Log 2026 Tendon Recovery Log

Lifter101

V.I.P.
EVO Logger
What’s going on guys,

Figured I’d start my first proper log and document this whole process. I’ve been lurking for a while, learned a lot from other people’s logs, so thought it’s time to contribute and track my own progress.

Quick background:
I’ve been training properly for about 5 years now, but realistically closer to 8 years total if you count the early days messing around doing pretty average programming with no real diet in place. Things have been dialed in properly the last few years.

Stats:
  • Height: 168cm
  • Weight: ~74kg
  • Body fat: ~11–12%
  • Mid 20s
I was just starting to push into a proper build phase, but that’s been put on hold due to some shoulder issues. Photos attached of current physique which I’m really proud of so far.

Current Situation
Left shoulder is a bit of a mess at the moment:
  • 3 partial tendon tears
  • Bursitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Cyst in the joint
  • Frozen shoulder
Not ideal, but nothing that can’t be worked through with the right approach.

Goal Right Now
Priority has shifted fully to recovery.

Focus is:
  • Healing the shoulder properly
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Maintaining as much size and strength as possible
Once things are stable again, I’ll reassess and move back into a growth phase.

Protocol
I’ve had good success using BPC-157 in the past for tendon issues, so I’ll be bringing that back in.

Looking for a vendors that might want to jump onboard for this log and smash this recovery together.

Current plan:
  • BPC-157
  • TB-500
  • Low dose HGH
  • TRT: 200mg/week Test E
Training Approach
Training isn’t stopping, but it’s being adjusted:
  • Pulling back on heavy pressing and movements that load the shoulder heavily
  • Avoiding anything that aggravates the injury
  • Focusing on controlled, pain-free movement
  • Keeping intensity where possible without compromising recovery
Main goal in the gym right now is simple: maintain as much muscle and strength as I can while the shoulder heals.

I’ll be updating this log with:
  • Recovery progress
  • Adjustments to training
  • How the protocol is working
  • Any setbacks or wins along the way
If anyone’s been through similar shoulder issues or has input, keen to hear it.

Let’s see how this goes and if any vendors are chasing a logger I’d love to see if we can work together on this recovery phase.

Killer stuff brother, and awesome to now have you logging here for us to follow and support too!

Already look like a weapon bruz and crazy to think what you can achieve this year!

Smart play though king, get back as close to 100% as you can first. As much as we wanna send it full time our bodies remind us that we can only throw some much punishment its way. Recover properly and set a much better runway afterwards 🙏

@LevButlerov brother can we get this log on the the cue legend💙

Good start to the log :D @Lifter101 you look big and wide! looking forward to the recovery and updates.

Please share more day to day information with us.

Diet, Training, Cardio
Diet, please share foods and meals and when you eat them, macros would be good
Training, please share actual exercises reps sets and weights, as you go especially get stronger
cardio how much do you do? when etc
If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Or use an app like myfitness pal or cronometer. Very easy.

supplements
Are you taking high doses Vitamin C?
how much creatine do you use ed?
what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?
probiotics?
psyllium husk?

are you listening to our podcast? if not, you should:

Shoutout to @Allupfromhere for some tips and tricks and being the inspiration for my first log. This will be the first of many.

Over the next few weeks and coming months I’ll document my training, peptide dosing and protocol as well as physio and the progress I am making.

Welcome to the logging game brother! Running BPC and TB-500 for shoulder tendons is a solid combo, I'm doing the same for my ankle after a dirt bike accident and the healing has been impressive. The low dose HGH alongside will help a lot too. Looking forward to following the progress 💪

Thanks man, great to hear you found it great too. Will be kicking off next week with the peptides and then starting Physio tomorrow to get the ball rolling.
 
Team War Born is stronger as of today 🙌🙌🙌

Welcome once again @Lifter101 ! Lets get this shoulder sorted!

@CookieBaah had a whole bunch of drama with his knee only a few weeks ago and our BPC/TB combo had him sorted!

Hopefully we can get yours squared away also!

Proud to have you on with us brother! So keen to see where this goes!

@Lifter101 I once read something that 50% of gym rats have some type of tear in their shoulder. I completely believe it. We tend to overtrain our shoulders way too much. When I interviewed Frank Zane years ago on the podcast, that's one of the things he told me. I see a lot of that going on so that would be my advice: you need to back off on pounding your shoulder so much.

Bros, should be a good update for sure. I think we've all been through injuries. The BPC is hopefully going to help you this time around if it worked for you before. @Lifter101

I think the plan looks good. BPC and TB-500 are good peptide options. @Lifter101 also the HGH is looking good as well with the testosterone.
 
Team War Born is stronger as of today 🙌🙌🙌

Yeah I can only imagine, wouldn’t be surprised if that number is even higher. This is part injury from a motorcycle crash and then also just getting put under constant stress at gym as I didn’t back off when it was first injured. Lesson learnt.

@Lifter101 the training approach actually looks pretty good to me. I like the pain-free movement idea; that's important.

i avoid overhead lifting

the plan is sound. i like hgh and test E. 200mgs for trt might be a little high make sure you are donating blood constantly @Lifter101
 
First appointment with the phsyio complete. Lots going on in the shoulder but it was great to hear the strength and muscle from gym is actually helping keep things supported and allowing me to still be able to do a lot of movements with the shoulder in its current state.

Next steps:
- commence BPC-157 and TB-500 sponsored by @War Born Peptides
- commence rotator cuff banded exercises
- potential MRI to be completed with review by a upper limb specialist

Ultimate goal is to of course speed up the recovery and healing stage and see how these peptides can improve the tendons as well as reduce the inflammation.

I will be posting some of the workouts from next week and update with the exact protocol of peptides once they arrive.

lets get some pics and training as you go :D
 
Very excited to see how the tb500 along side the bpc goes. Everything I’ve been told is it’s the perfect combo.
Bros, it definitely is a good stack. Been healing people for years.

Fat is from the biscoff in the morning, meat at dinner and then bits here and there from the other snacks and meals.

As for digestive aids I’m using psyllium husk in my shake in the morning.

TD! Shoutout to @War Born Peptides for jumping onboard as sponsor for this shoulder recovery log!

Sent Friday morning and arrived today (Monday morning). Starting tonight with the dosages mentioned above.
Love to see the TD 😍😍😍 those BPC purple caps look so good!

Really excited to see this healing take place 🙏
 
Push Session

First day running the BPC + TB mix from @War Born Peptides . No pain on injection, using site injections to try and get it as close to the shoulder as possible. I’ll keep updating as I go and hopefully start seeing some improvement in the shoulder.

Below is my upper session with a couple of simple modifications. Switched the incline press to a more natural grip with elbows tucked, which has completely removed shoulder pain, big win. Also pulled the weight back on the machine shoulder press and focusing on lighter, controlled reps and form for now.

Incline Press (Alternate Grip)
  • Set 1: 40kg × 6
  • Set 2: 35kg × 9
Chest Press (Machine)

Crushed it brother its good you use variations. Have you tried pull ups since the injury? How do they go?
 
Week 1 update
Sponsored by @War Born Peptides


Training yesterday:
Run - 5km 4:31km average pace

I tend to do a 5km and 7km each week. Always been into my cardio hence the decent speed. I do find keeping the cardio in all year round allows me to keep the lean at all times.

No real issues with the shoulder whilst running so nothing to report on shoulder pain.

Bpc and Tb is going well. All pins have been pain free.

Pic attached of current physique post run. (Zero pump).

Still some pain on pull-ups at full extension. Just keeping some variations of pull downs that don’t aggravate it in at the moment.
Feels like the main thing is not poking the injury too much bro, every time I’ve tried to push it, I’ve paid for it with a few days’ setback. But I am very impatient sometimes haha

100% agree, been great just changing some of the exercises up to reduce pain. Physio said we don’t want to not train otherwise I’ll get frozen shoulder but I want to be mindful in not making it worse. Very keen for the peptides to start doing their magic.

Hey mate, just got caught up on your log. You've got an awesome looking physique. Quads are massive.

Looks like the shoulder isn't too bad from the point of view that you can still do most exercises? Interested to see the shoulder stability type exercises you are doing for it.

Nice leg workout there. Big weights on the pendulum squat.
 
Week 1 Complete – Recovery Log

Week 1 done, 7 more to go.

No major improvements yet, which is expected this early on. The main positive is that with the changes to my lifts, the shoulder hasn’t been getting irritated, so that’s a good sign.

Keen to move into next week and see how the body starts responding more to the BPC and TB.

Peptides sponsored by @War Born Peptides have been very easy to use, no pain on injection at all. Reconstituted quickly and stayed very clear once mixed, definitely happy with the quality so far.

Thanks! So far the shoulder is feeling better. I’ve actually had a night where I partly slept on the shoulder that injured so I’d say it’s making some improvements so far. I except another week or two and I’ll really start noticing the bpc and tb doing its thing.

Training today:
Run - 5km 4:45km average pace

Treadmill run today as we have been getting some decent rain at home. Much prefer outside but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Bpc and Tb still pinning well. Further updates to come as I believe things are starting to make small improvements.

Week 2 Complete – Recovery Log

Week 2 just about done.

Starting to notice some improvements in the shoulder with the BPC157 and TB500. Range of motion feels slightly better than last week, and there’s a bit less pain when stretching it out.

With the adjustments in the gym, I’ve been able to get back to lifting relatively heavy on chest work again. Hit incline DB press 40kg × 11 reps this week. Keeping elbows tucked in tight has made a huge difference, no pain and able to push weight again.

Sleeping is still not perfect, can’t fully lie on that shoulder with the arm extended, but it’s noticeably less painful when I do end up on that side.

Overall, a productive week and starting to see some positive signs that the peptides are helping.

Peptides sponsored by @War Born Peptides
  • BPC157: 500mcg daily
  • TB500: 500mcg daily
  • Initial TB500 phase (1mg daily for 10 days) now completed

TRT sponsored by @shadow labs

TRT is going well with Shadow Labs now on board for the recovery phase. No PIP and very smooth so far. Will share more thoughts once it’s fully in the system.

Summary

Slow and steady, but progress is being made. Looking forward to another week and continuing the recovery.

Another solid session in the books. Strength on chest movements is continuing to climb, and more importantly, it’s coming with little to no pain in the shoulder. This is the first chest-focused workout where I can really notice a difference pain-wise, which is a big positive.

Shoulder press is still slightly irritated, even using a natural grip, but keeping the weight lighter and controlled is definitely helping manage it.

BPC-157 and TB-500 are starting to feel like they’re doing their job now alongside the exercise adjustments.

Incline Press (Alternate Grip)
  • 40kg x 9
  • 40kg x 7
Chest Press (Machine)
  • 103kg x 9
  • 103kg x 8
Rear Delt Reverse Fly (Dumbbell)
  • 10kg x 14
  • 10kg x 13
  • 10kg x 12
Seated Shoulder Press (Machine)
  • 46kg x 12
  • 52kg x 10
Single Arm Lateral Raise (Cable)
  • 7.5kg x 15
  • 7.5kg x 13
Skullcrusher (Dumbbell)
  • 12.5kg x 13
  • 12.5kg x 12
  • 12.5kg x 9
Triceps Rope Pushdown
  • 32.5kg x 10
  • 32.5kg x 11

Notes:
  • Chest strength trending up with improved movement pattern (elbows tucked).
  • Shoulder still slightly sensitive on pressing, but manageable with lighter loads.
  • Recovery feels like it’s turning a corner—first session where pain reduction is very noticeable.

On to the next one.

Nice workout mate. Pretty much a perfect layout for me in terms of exercises and volume.

You tried manual therapy for the shoulder?

Thanks bro. Yeah I 100% agree, see way too many people go so far backwards because they push too hard too quickly as soon as things start feeling a little better. Plan is slow and steady and I know long term that will do me wonders!

Another awesome leg session in the books. Strength across the board is continuing to move well. Absolutely smashed the pendulum squats again—felt great during, but also completely brutal at the same time haha.

As expected, no issues with the shoulder on this session which is a nice break from thinking about it. Able to just focus on pushing intensity.

Test from Shadow Labs is going in smooth, no issues with pinning and feeling good so far.

Pendulum Squat (Machine)
  • 80kg x 6
  • 80kg x 4
Leg Extension (Machine)
  • 124kg x 11
  • 124kg x 10
Seated Leg Curl (Machine)
  • 96kg x 10
  • 96kg x 9
Hip Adduction (Machine)
  • 63kg x 10
  • 63kg x 9
Seated Calf Raise
  • 30kg x 12
  • 30kg x 14
  • 30kg x 12
Leg Raise (Parallel Bars)
  • 25 reps
  • 21 reps
  • 20 reps

Notes:
  • Strength trending up, especially on compounds.
  • Pendulum squats continue to be a standout (in the best and worst way).
  • No shoulder limitations on leg day = full intensity.
  • Recovery, performance, and overall feel all heading in the right direction.

Would feel good rolling into the gym without stressing bout the shoulder bro. It would be an excited feeling before the leg sesh.

It will happen again soon for all your workouts brother. We'll get it back to full strength even if we have to throw vial after vial into it 🙏

Another solid Upper Day 2 session in the books last night. Pumps were feeling nice and juicy and overall strength is continuing to move in the right direction while still managing the shoulder recovery smartly.

Big positive from this workout was the improvement in the shoulder on pull movements. Both lat pulldowns and single arm pulldown variations felt a lot stronger with far less irritation which has allowed me to get back to pushing some heavier weight again comfortably. Definitely a good sign the shoulder is continuing to improve.

Lat Pulldown
  • 100kg x 12
  • 110kg x 5
Incline Smith Press
  • 100kg x 11
  • 100kg x 8
Straight Arm Lat Pulldown
  • 32.5kg x 16
  • 32.5kg x 12
  • 32.5kg x 10
Single Arm Lat Pulldown
  • 40kg x 12
  • 40kg x 8
DB Curl
  • 22.5kg x 10
  • 20kg x 12
Hammer Curl
  • 20kg x 13
  • 20kg x 11
Leg Raises
  • 16 reps
  • 17 reps
  • 15 reps

Overall just a really productive workout and nice to be moving heavier loads again on back movements without the shoulder complaining.

Test from @shadow labs is continuing to go great so far. One week in now and the oil has been super smooth with absolutely no PIP at all. Feeling really good overall.

@War Born Peptides continue to deliver as always. Nearly finished the first vial of the BPC/TB blend now and ready to mix up the second vial shortly. Definitely starting to notice more positive effects from the peptides week by week.

Little showcase of my morning smoothie that always hits the spot.

Nice workout mate. Some good weights there. You wouldn't be better replacing one of those back movements with a row of some form?
