Hmmm, hard to say , I did get inured doing a really heavy deadlift during the brief stint I had with the juice.
I used moderate amounts of decca, test and winnie V , from 83 -86. I use prescribed Androgel now at age 48 to keep my test levels in the ideal range. I suspect that HGH overuse would cause more joint and tendon issues??????????????  I would think test/roid use would help avoid injuries

I think a lot of muscle tears occur on gear because the people that use the gear did not build a base of muscle or strength and so didn't learn how to train. They get on the gear, think they are superheros, and lift stupid weights that they shouldn't be lifting. So they go from nothing to big weights and the muscle tears. Add to the fact they probably train chest and arms twice a week and never train legs.

You can tear a muscle naturally anyway. I tore my pec at 19, i was natural then it was just from overtraining. Any joint problems i had or worries about tears were from going to heavy too often. When i used gear i wasn't at any further risk IMO.

Hell no. This is bullshit.
Big muscles are like armor for the body. You are less likely to be injured.

Something is being overlooked here. Anabolic steroids induce hypertrophy and cause muscle growth and the androgenic components increase strength, however steroids cannot and do not increase tendon and ligament strength. Thus, whilst muscle strength grows, tendon and ligament strength and durability do not grow concomitantly. Consequently someone using steroids could, given appropriate stress and weight, be more prone to injuries of these sorts.

in moderate amounts i believe that steroids actually help strengthen your body...and help prevent injury. but in big amounts, when the muscle tissue grows to quickly, then the tendons and ligamints are sm,aller and weaker than they should be for the amount of muscle you are carrying, and thus you are more succeptible to becoming injured. another thing that might contribute to an athlete on steroids getting injured is the increeased intensity and aggression while working out.

Do you have a high school diploma or have standards sunk so low in the USA that this is the result?  :o

That would be quite possible given the poster's name. It could also be a new type of oral steroid. ;D

When on dianabol, your body retains so much water. You are able to lift more because the water helps coat (lubricate) the joints. Not only that but dianabol increases your strength as well....

Only downside is if your prone to gynecomastia, you may possibly get it....not to mention making you look smooth and puffy because of the water gain....

 ;) Shhhhhh.....my 2 cents
