I've cut everything out for sometime now (minus test cruise) and am just going into pure healing mode trying to recover things back as training heavy and age = a lot of overuse injuries and things accruing that just won't fade otherwise.

The biggest thing I'd like to heal up is what I presume to be either an impinged shoulder/rotator cuff issue, it gives a sharp pinch like feeling on bench and overhead press, but also gets aggravated on deadlifts and rows.

So far, I've tried out:

-bpc157/tb500, can't quite tell if that did too much but some strains I occurred did seam to possibly heal faster but that could've been due to placebo

-mk677: almost instantaneous relief in the shoulder where I wake up and there's no pain plus I can press relatively pain-free... however, the caveat/trade-off is the edema seems to find its way directly to my chronic patellar tendonitis and makes it so bad that squatting almost becomes intolerable so it's like trading my shoulder for my knee... then again, maybe it's the insta-bloat factor that alleviates the shoulder so drastically because as soon as I go off and let the edema go away my knee returns to normal and my shoulder goes back to hurting...

-anavar: I have heard people utilize such for healing purposes, was dosing it low but noticed it made my shoulder pain way more pronounced and sharp, almost the exact opposite of what I was hoping for... Trusted source so I wouldn't call it winstrol but I've never had a good run with anything DHT not giving issues...

Up next to bat I'm going to try out cjc no dac and ipamorelin and potentially/eventually just run GH for a while even though I didn't have a good experience years back(this round I'll start off on the low end and assess from there)

I've also got a few new re-strains and really have to learn that I can't just train heavy all the time in the pursuit of max strength, I've really gotta start training in blocks and take time with lessor weight for more reps as obviously the body can only take so much abuse for so long. I am pretty hard headed and stupid in that I know better but something in me just can't resist going for it when I get fired up... so I've really gotta get real with myself and setup a program to halt the brakes and allow me to recover as it'll be near impossible for things to possibly heal if I'm still striving for PR's (which, despite everything, I have managed a few new PR's in the past couple of months which is a first since last winter, but of course when we're in PR land we're also in everything feeling like shit land too).
