Anavar for healing tendinopathy
ad
Hey there 
I am currently using BPC-157, BP-500 and GKU-CU peptides to increase the speed of healing of elbow tendinopathy. I am wondering if any of you have experience with using Anavar for improving the rate of healing? I am not taking any other steroids or TRT at the moment, and so another question would be if I could potentially take Anavar on its own say 10-15mg daily? Or is it necceseary to have a testosterone base?
I really appreciate your help, thank you in advance!

Healing tendons is a much different process than muscles. Resting it is not the methodology. You have to progressively put the tendon under isometric load. If you just rest it, it gets weaker not stronger, then once the pain goes away a lower level activity than before will re-injure it.
I have dealt with severe jumpers knee and healed it. It’s not collagen synthesis boosting you need. It’s proper rehab techniques.
I’m not sure of the exact isometrics you can use for elbow, as my experience is with my knee. But the concepts are exactly the same. A way to progressively overload the tendon in an isometric fashion. Staying in the 3/10 pain level or lower the entire time.
Yes you are 100% right. I am trying to do tendon healing protocol starting with isometrics as well. So not only resting for sure!
Tendons take a long time to heal due to very poor blood flow and the way they are made up, they are not like muscle. I would be more inclined to use other methods like Collagen Peptides, Vitamin C, Glucosamine and Chondroitin, Creatine etc and simply use them continually everyday for 6 months plus. I just can't seen Anavar or EQ being any more effective at 'promoting' collagen synthesis than all these other things like Vitamin C that have been proven to. Results are much more likely to come if you stay on these things for a long time and use them regularly every single day - than say running an Anavar course for 8 weeks. Thats my take on it anyway.
Appreciate it thank you!
AK80Thank you for that very interesting information on the vitamin C because I take Animal Pak vitamins everyday and drink 16oz of orange juice every day. However, it took close to 3 months until my elbow finally healed itself. Note to others: if whatever you are doing hurts, stop! In my particular case, it was one of those stupid peck deck machines that for the life of me I couldn't get set up properly. Chewed up the inside of my elbow slowly without me noticing. Had to do incline bench flys instead while I waited for it to heal.
AK80Anavar can suppress your natural testosterone, so if you are not already taking exogenous TRT, you should probably not take the Anavar long term. I think you could get away with it for 2 weeks though and take the weekends off and don't drink any alcohol. With what you are already taking this should be plenty of time to heal.
After watching Vigorous Steve on youtube (he goes over the studies) he showed that Anavar doesnt really shut down natural testosterone production, but might have understood wrongly.
AK80I love him, but a quick Google search said it could slightly. I still stand by my 2 weeks of safe usage. If you plan on doing it longer than that, let us know.
Okay thank you! Yeah most likely I would plan on running it for 2-3 months to match it with Peptide protocol
