Thx guys... thing is I have lots of pain in my right shouldr/pec, and I am goig to compete in may, PL, I thought medrol could be a good choice to reduce the injury without lowering training volume...
You are talking about something completely different there. I understood your first post to be that you were wanting to cycle Medrol like others cycle anabolics. Corticosteroids are not that type of drug.
I've had triamcinalone (a corticosteroid) injections in my shoulders and elbow, done appropriately they are a miracle worker for return of function because they reduce inflammation and as a result increase range of motion and reduce pain. the thing is I wouldn't do any injections 8-10 weeks or less before a meet unless you have severe pain and loss of function. The corticosteroids can predispose to cartilage problems, so if you get one and then are blasting it pushing for a meet, you may end up worse off. I'd be especially cautious about anything involving the pec shoulder tie in. Have you had a pec tear before?
I wouldn't use Medrol systemically for a shoulder problem (ie don't take the pills). Talk with a qualifed sports medicine specialist and have the joint itself injected if its indicated.
Just out of curiosity what meet are you doing in May?
