Npp & Tendons

[gainscity]

Would npp help my recovery of bicep tendonitis? I got it the other week and have been off from the gym for almost a week so far. I'm planning on taking another week off from the gym and get back into things and go light in the beginning until I feel 100% ready to hammer the weights again. I just got done blasting and plan to start up my cruise at 125mg test e and 175mg npp per week.

bro npp wouldn't do much for tendonitis...tried it before...better get some ostarine mk2866 25mgs ed ...and i you want add some light deca dose...

So....uhhhh...npp wouldnt do much for tendinitis-but if you want, add in some light deca dose. What?

Npp is nothing but a short estered deca...

 

[snakeman]

Any kind of anabolic will help with recovery, hence "anabolic". Deca and npp are known for improving joint comfort a little more than most. Best thing you can do is light stretching and massage to help increase bloodflow and tissue healing. We just don't want to go balls to the wall with your massage because your increased blood flow will turn into swelling and further tissue trauma in already compromised areas.

I had a sprained bicep and a related tendon issue that was just barely healed before I started my current cycle of NPP/test. Prior to starting, I had to be super careful not to push that arm too much or the dull ache would start to come back. I swear I can't hurt it no mater how ha r d I go since I started this cycle.
I've read EQ can be just as good for injuries, but that's a long ester and I've read that traces of it can be detected in blood tests months after stopping it. Don't know if that's a concern for you, just another option to look into.

Someone posted a study on AAS and collagen synthesis a while back. I remember it saying that EQ and Deca could improve it when combined with low doses of Test. Higher doses of test increased collagen synthesis rate, but the quality of tissue generated wasn't as good. It was an interesting read and I'd look it up but I'm at work and a bit busy right now.

My thoughts exactly

I cleared up some tendonitis in my elbow and in the tendon behind my knee using some BPC 157 and TB 500. I injected both as close as I could to the tendon and it did wonders. I probably would have used NPP or Deca but I get bad ed sides with them even with caber and prami.

Npp is short estered deca

Didnt see above post i was to busy scratchn my head on that one.

 

[aaron.kennedy.1217]

DECA increases procollegen synthesis by as much as 270% at as little as 200mg administered every two weeks. I'd go for it. I can also vouch for BPC effectiveness in injury healing

 

[phoenix2015]

I read somewhere that anavar also helps with collagen synthesis

many AAS help with collagen synthesis but they are only temporary and what ends up happening is guys cause more damage while on, so long term this is a bad idea.

what you really should do is DELOAD more often, fix your form on certain lifts, avoid if it hurts, and run a joint support and/or Sarm's which were designed to actually repair and cure injuries, not just cover them up

 

[LevButlerov]

Don't overcomplicate the solution to your problem. Just use some MK 2866 (Ostarine) - it was designed specifically for joint and bone healing, and has proven itself as a reliable remedy for this kind of injuries. You could also add an awesome joint supporting supplement called N2Joints Rx for further maintenance. And finally, you will benefit much more from ostarine because it barely has any side effects.

 

[Redam]

Long term NO. All Deca and NPP will do is basically lubricant it for the time being. That's why people run low Deca. It "cushions " their joints

I am very interested in this, but I am a bit confused. I would think that collagen synthesis is a true healing process, not just a cover up of an injury. If everything starts hurting like hell in a month or so when I come off NPP, I guess I'll have my answer, LOL.

 

[gainscity]

I'm taking glucosamine and chondroitin, fish oil is in there to so those may help. Hopefully I'll get my npp from power this week and I'll start that up as soon as I get it. I'm just going to really focus on hitting my legs hard, I had a good leg day today and did 1 set of bicep curls, arm felt a lot better.

you are looking at 1 thing and not thinking of 20 things

guys who run deca to heal injuries end up throwing up heavier weight and putting more pressure on their soft tissues which screws things up more.. that is a lot of pressure on soft tissues that are woefully slow to grow compared to fat and muscle in the body

well you are young and you pretty much improved too much too fast. hence your soft tissues did not have enough time to catch up

now you have to be smart and not make the problem chronic.. taking anti inflammatories/PK's and hammering away more will make your problem permanent

you should also be implementing a lot of DELOAD weeks into your workouts. this means cut your volume and weight 50% .. even if that means you take a step back so be it

you are on a trajectory of improving nonstop and that isn't good.. major red flag when you start getting tendonitis. I went through the same thing when I was an endurance athlete in my mid 20's. I improved my 5K time in 6 months by a crazy amount by dedicating my life to it and was crazy, I wanted to set a new PR every time I ran a race.. and my body got punished in the process. I should have taken more time off and ran less races and been more patient. now you can either learn from my mistake or do the same thing as I did.

you have a lot of potential as a young bodybuilder and I don't want you at 25 having to wrap yourself up like King Tut and take 2 aspirins before the gym cause you ran your body into the ground .. there are A LOT of older dudes I know who do this because they were stupid and wanted to set a new PR every time they set foot in the gym. they haven't had a deload workout in 20 years.

You have a good point of everything you addressed. I'm going hard on leg day still but I'm planning on starting deloads with my upper body starting next wednesday and go from there. Hopefully I'll feel good and not have issues as I don't want to end up as king tut haha... I want to go as far as I possibly can but when a injury comes around I'm going to be smart about it man and thanks for the input, I will remember all of that. What kind of an injury did you suffer from?

I love NPP it made my tendons around my knee specifically for cycling feel very lubed and never over worked. That being said I have heard Dylan say this many time when this question pops up - you CANNOT use NPP to heal tendons - or really any steroid for that matter
