Sore today, strong tomorrow!!!
ECA Stack while on Cycle was created by OPTRON
I need some advice please...
I am an endurance athlete who relies a lots on strength, Calisthenics type, with strength to weight ratio very important. I currently have tendon problems with my knee and cant do any running or cycling for the next 6 weeks while having PRP injections.
The thinking is to cycle some Test with ECA Stack, but I am not to sure if it is a great idea.
The thinking is as follows:
- Test for some added strength and to help with the tendon recovery.
- ECA stack to keep my weight in check, as I don't want to gain to much weight, and to help keep my energy levels up for extra high intensity workouts, to help with fitness levels.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Keeping your diet and calories and carbs in check wil keep your weight in check.
Adjusting the weight you train with and the reps and sets will give you the strength increase you are looking for.
What is you age height weight and body fat?

I can't see how Test at any dosage is going to help a tendon heal or recover?

I was wondering the same thing and was hoping someone would say something.
Would HGH help perhaps? Although won't fix it over night.
For some Abs are made with lighting & angles... For others they are made in the kitchen.

Like the guys are saying, test increases brittleness of joints and tendons and the extra strength you get makes a tearing a tendon more likely, and it is far worse if you already have difficulties with your tendons. Terrible idea!

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated. Exactly why I first came and check with you guys before I just continued with the Test.
I don't have any problem with weight or strength control, was just trying to consider all the possibilities to maybe help with the healing process of the tendon, taking into account that I am already off my legs for the following 6 weeks. Thought I might add some strength and decrease the healing time in the meanwhile.
I accept it then as a bad idea and would just continue with my normal prp treatment.
Thanks a lot!!
