Fast strength gains...injurys

[Murhf]

Hey everyone. Am just wanting some feed back on how your strength goes up so fast, can this be advantageous to the same tendons/muscles that only 2 weeks ago were lifting around 25% less.

Began test 2 weeks ago at 400mg week for the next 12 weeks, first cycle. Strength has increased in the last few days, which is fantastic. Psychological or not Iam rapt, oh a definite water increase. Weight has gone up 3 kg. From 106kg-109kg.

Am 46. 6ft 3in tall, so not a little guy.

Yeah it can be a worry, as the tendons will not be getting any stronger. In fact they may be getting weaker as abnormally high levels of testosterone has been shown to decrease collagen synthesis. This is why most people stack test with EQ or deca as these compounds increase collagen synthesis. Just as an aside, Winstrol increases collagen synthesis but makes the tendons brittle so that they are more likely to break.

I'm guilty of trying to be the man - happened on leg press just kept going up bout 3 weeks in - previous best was like 400 for 10 and went up to 600 and on the 10th rep popped a fat muscle in my left calve *yawn* definitely made me rethink my hero attitude haha

Interesting guys. Reason being is my deadlift has gone up 30kg I shit you not. So I was doing 160kg deads for 5 reps, then in the last week..easy 180kgx5, 1x190kg. I have been wanting to break the 200 mark for a while so Iam pretty happy, but I also know I wasn.t able to lift 2 weeks ago.

Does the strength plateau out, or do you just have to be super safe...use your head ect?

Oh the strength increase has been noticed at the gym, guess this is something many of you have dealt with before. Iam just gonna say I eating shitloads of protein lol.

I have EQ on me, but so many mixed thoughts on EQ. I decided just to do test. Can add it in later, as Iam 46 the increase in sex drive is "Fuckin Fantastic" Geez every older guy should be on it.

Deca & Eq DON'T increase collagen synthesis (relating to growth & strength of tendons/ligaments) br0

HGH is the only thing that can do that

Hmmm, yeah every other post on the Interwebs seem to bring up the figures of 340% increase for boldenone and 270% increase for nandrolone but then none of them actually cite any research. Might just be broscience.
