Sup to all, and happy new year.
The overall question here is whether or not I can maintain my mass, or possibly add mass lifting light weights for the majority of my workouts? And if so, is there any specific regiment or routine I should follow?
Background:
My left Infraspinatus has been bothering me for a few months now. I took off a few weeks from training and when I came back I tweaked it during my first back workout. Since then its been getting inflamed during chest(mostly incline presses), back, and shoulder workouts. I don't believe theres a high grade tear but rather bad tendonitis/tendonosis and some microtears. I've been on TRT for 4-5 months now, 200mg every 2 weeks roughly. I've put on some good muscle mass, although I know a lot is water retention. Never the less, I have gone up my lifting weight across the board. I don't use gear though, just test for the moment....I am considering Deca in the future because of the tendon and ligament healing properties.
I have been getting prolotherapy treatments every 4 weeks or so and it was helping but I feel that the shoulder recovery has regressed since the last injection. I think I'm going too heavy and need to revise my workout for a while until my shoulder and r-cuff heal. I also get A.R.T treatments every 1-3 weeks which has really helped a lot in breaking up scar tissue in various areas of my body. I have some nagging injuries which im addressing but the shoulder is a real issue and I want to address and take care of it while I'm still young and before it's too late; I DON'T want surgery.
So with the information I have provided (and if needed I can provide more to help in answering my question properly) can this be accomploshed and is it a good route to take in healing/recovering injured muscles and tendons? I'm knowledgeable enough to know that reducing the load to let the body heal is always a good thing if the body is asking for it but I like to get the input of other guys in the trenches. I prefer less bro-science if possible but I am open to anyone's opinions, so long as they are respectable about it. Of course, there will always be a troll here n' there;
Thanks in advance.
