Been extremely to long off the forum

Welcome back Buzz... I'd say diet is the key for you right now and getting the rest of that weight off....

If you are still in the rehab phase - and as you say, YOU are 'back to basics' - why are you cycling?

Rapid increases in strength combined with a decrease in collagen synthesis due to AAS can actually impede joint health

Personally, I'd run nothing but a low/moderate dose of Test and concentrate on VERY slowly working those lifts back to a percentage of original capacity - focusing on range of movement and mobility while you're at it.

If you start running other compounds, you'll be lulled in to a false sense of security and before you know it you'll be back on the operating table.

I struggle to see how you can log a cycle, when you are a long way off being 100%???
AAS strengthen and grow muscle tissue - but your current weakness is your joints.

Not trying to throw a spanner in the works Buzz, you're an intelligent bloke - but I've just come back from a bad one myself - and I was almost a year before I got back to my original level.

Great insight brother. I'm running my trt at 300 instead of 250.. And Deca is at 300 for some kind of joint relief, it actually helps just walking. My knees and back sometimes feel as bad as my shoulder. BUT Ben your advice is always welcomed brother. I'll drop Deca until I'm fully back. Great to hear from you

I think that's a very wise move bro, you really need to be able to feel all those niggles and twinges you are having - for good and bad. And the Deca will sometimes dull those aches and pains, which is fine when you're fully functional, but if you are rehabbing you need that important reminder to ease off before it's too late.

Also, I'd research a peptide called TB500 re: healing - I've read reports that it can speed the reparation process on a number of injuries, whether rotator cuff would benefit or not I don't know. But it would be shrewd on your part to hunt out the research bud.

I've used tb500 for joint issues . I found the loading dose to help but when I backed down to maintenance not so much .

That doesn't make sense Gdawg...?

If the loading dose healed the injury, how did it become unhealed at a lower dose?

Or are you saying it just masked the pain?
