I've used them all over the years being an old fart and solgar and dr franks are the best gluc chon msm i could find, particularly the solgar with the ester c. Sometimes using a nuetral grip like on dips for all your presses for a few weeks will allow the tendons to heal without taking anytime off. Mike Mentzer told me about this trick in the early 90's when I told him my tendons were killing me but that I was too much of a savage to take more than a day off. It works, especially when combined with the pills. the nuetral grip does not stress the joints / tendons the same way. You can press dumbells that way, avoid bar presses until fully healed and then work back up to max weight.... high dosage ibuprofen can work also but the toxicity of that stuff only makes it workable for a training session every once in a blue moon, do not rely on that, it will hurt you longterm
Chondroitin sulfate is very good for joints, increases synovial fluid within the joints of arthritic and problem areas.
OE2000This MSM is amazing!! Been on about 3 and a half weeks, my shoulder pops are gone and the knees are pain free (so far)..... Get ya some Pupster, I've seen an improvement in strength and reps are way up .....
Dosage is at 2000mgs per day
AnonGot myself some a few weeks back... 1000mg from Vitalife Health Suppliments... Found it to be good... or maybe the deca has taken hold ;o)..
Either way a little more rest, a few light curls and sensible warm ups seem to be have the desired effect... Still strap up tho when lifting heavy....
I was told by my doc that it may well be that after years of training my joints are just feeling the pain more now.... told him I heard Nandrolone PhenylPropionate was good for such problems and could he write a prescription?....he wasn't amused.
OE2000LOL, yeah those docs hate it when you tell them what you need! Glad to hear thats something is working, I've been impressed with the MSM so far..... keep us posted!
Anonwhat brand are you using ?
OE2000Natures Way gurl.... the only con so far is body odor, not that I smelt that great before, but after 30 min on the treadmill, my undershirt smells like straight ammonia! kinda gross! ~~~~~later
Anonhave you tried incorporating some more rest? works wonders sometimes;-)
Legatrin or legatrim with quinine helps aching joints back and its cheap
OE2000Gonna start MSM at 2000mgs per day tomorrow, will keep you guys posted, the glucosamine/chondrotin combo has never worked for me, healthy fats seem to promote some relief.... gimme 2 weeks!
After a bilateral crush of both feet, run over by forklift! My gait changed, for years I've endured foot pain, and knee pain. Now after three knee surgeries, 2 acl replacements & I clean up of arthritis. I am not in pain... Deca has given me movement, no pain free movement that I have missed for decades! I'm doing squats, leg presses, leg ext & curls again. I'm not trying to kill it yet, but enjoying this new freedom. I do elliptical & treadmill & bike for cardio, not sure if I'll ever try running though. This is my first cycle & I wonder what my off cycle pain will be...
Man this sounds like a nightmare, I pray it never returns.... A lot of people would have given up after all that...

Anonabout the same has been my experience although I would rate it on the better side rather then the worst..Be very careful of pushing way too far. I know how GREAT you are feeling right now ;-) I was amazed at the weights I was able to push with my knees needing surgery. Good thing is that even off cycle I haven't lost very much at all.
Thanks hrdbdygrrrrrl, I think we had the discussion about the tortoise & hare thing. I'm very wary of pushing things too far, after many trials & learning the hard way. I'm in this for longevity not all out killing it. I've learned that I listen to my body, but although I'm so excited about being pain free, I believe that it is still too early to see what it will be like later, in off cycle. So I cautiously proceed...
AnonI know exactly how good your legs feel.. but really, the pain comes back when you are off cycle. The interesting thing is that my weights haven't dropped a whole lot off the deca.. granted this is one thing that I get extra conservative with because I can't afford to blow out either of my knees.. ;-)
I suffer from them constantly with my elbows and I'm using Deca.
I use Tiger Balm afterwards.
"Now" brand liquid glucosamine, hGH, Deca and rest.
dansta123well deca is the alternative joint relaxer replenisher..but im not quiet at that stage in my training for that
Anondeca pushes estrogen into the joints.. don't freak out here, it is the kind of estrogen that is also helpful for building muscle and lubing the joints..love me my deca ;-0
dansta123why am i picturing you cuddling a bottle of deca?
Anoncuz I am?
Yeah big fan of the Deca for joint problems, also helped me is this mix of oils (Natures Bounty Flax Fish Borage mix) and Primaforce Cissus. I'm back to my old self and my last cycle was in May!
I had bad elbow problems, and now they are simply a memory.
dansta123suffer from this a great deal..but pain is the business we are all in so must deal with it..talking to a personal trainer last night and i told him about this saying i hit up fish oil liquid he quickly shut me down on that and told me to go source some flaxseed oil and arctic cod liver oil and give that a whirl..yet to have bought these products but soon report back if it makes any difference..may want to look into these products,guy has always been on the ball.
AnonInteresting.. let me know how you get on...
I'm currently on the artic cod liver oil along with MSM.... which seems to be working for any pressing movements... BUT anything involving a curling motion results in severe pain in the centre of the joint (even when strapped) Its when my grip is supinated that problems occur....
Find out biomechnaically whats causing the problem and work out that deficiency. Lots of elbow problems relate to the forearm. A serious google should help. Messing around with various supplements is only really addressing the symptoms not the cause (i.e you're using a sticking plaster)
Bro... I had this thing cAlled tennis elbow when I was like 17...
Elbows hurted like a mofo when I put stress on em I.e bench,curl etc...
What I did was take 3-4 360mg fish oils and essential fatty plus calcium and multis ... Helped alot...
But what helped me out the most was...
Grab something with a counterweight like a broom,small hammer whatever u can find...
I used a broom.. And hold it from the tip with the weight opposite from you, then straighten your arm out and point the broom riggt infront stretching out your forearm elbow joints with the weight of the broom.. Idk if I make sense.. But Ill try and link you to the website I got this from... Worked wonders for me.. (:
also the peck deck might give joints a break and still get you pumped
dude this is not what you want to hear but you probably need rest and time off, hey you can still do sqauts! joint juice is pretty good you can buy it at the grocery store
MSM is great for joints and tendons
....and very light (bar only) reverse curls pre-workout does wonders for ulna nerve pain in the elbows
OE2000I've incorporated these into my workout with great results! Thanks bro!
I meant to hit your helpful button, but hit mine instead, Im an idiot....
Anonthanks for the head up...
