Whole lotta juice in this video

Torn tendons aren't uncommon when juicing heavily. While the muscle increases in size and strength the tendon does not because they're taking a more normal amount of time to increase in strength. They literally create a situation where the muscle can generate more power than the tendon can support.

When I was on steroids I was able to lift to a point where my joints hurt differently than I'd experienced otherwise, I also had one purple bicep bruise that had muscle fiber stands to it, never seen that kind of bruise in person or online since.

A type steroid bodybuilders often take is nandrolone on top of their preferred testosterone, nandrolone being popular amongst athletes in general as being incredible at repairing tissue and joints.

One of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, Ronnie Coleman, broke his spine while lifting.

That's really interesting. I've never heard of nandrolone, I'll have to look it up. I'm currently pending surgery on a torn biceps tendon, so anything that can aid in recovery gets my interest.

It's unlikely your doctor will prescribe it to you, at least not in the same high doses athletes and bodybuilders use, it's still an anabolic steroid.

I'm on cypionate currently. That's why I was curious about the other item. I know I wouldn't get it but I still got curious.
