Thread: anavar

I used it for tendon repair. too mild of an anabolic for me. it's not very cost effective when you look at the cost to gains ratio.

i have strained a ligament or tendon in my right arm which means i aint beenable to train for almost 4 weeks.only cardio and legs.
any ideas what i could use along with my sus to help it heal quickly?

(hence you could use anavar)

I used 40 mg/ED for 6 weeks. it seemed to help along with the EQ & test that I was taking.

i hear that deca is good for "oiling" the joints,would this help if i took sus,deca and anavar?

deca is hard as hell on your HPTA...

No steroid is going to help you heal quicker. Deca does help alleviate the pain, but the best advise is to let it heal on it's own. After you are 100%, then maybe start a well thought out cycle, with deca as part of the stack.

Deca does have a rep for 'limp dick'. My experience was a test prop, deca, dbol cycle 'exploded' my sex drive, with unbelievable erections . Of course I'm an old fart (49), so mileage may vary.

That's not old.

that's not true at all. why do you think they give steroids to burn victims ?

there are many medical references to the use of oxandrolone and healing here are some:
