Can steroid injections in your knees cause muscle cramps?
Why do you feel that you are going to have to take the steroid shots for a time to come? If something isn't working why would you continue to go down the same road? My dr. wouldn't guarantee his work with them so I told him to shove them, I wasn't going to be a practice dummy for something he had no faith in. If you are having nose bleeds you have to find out what is causing that as well. For cramps I found out digging your fingers into them is the best way to get them to stop the pain and in a few seconds the cramp itself releases and then you can release your fingers. For your knees you more than likely had some trauma to them and that shortens the tendon up on them until it gets released again. When in the shortened stage it pulls the kneecap up on and into your knee binding it up, making it hard to bend your knee and giving you the pain you are having. Here is how to release your knees so you can forget about those shots: Kneecaps: Do while sitting on a chair with no front cross braces. While sitting have your leg resting in a stretched mode. Place both your thumbs, side by side, about 2 inches behind the kneecap and press down into your leg and then redirect the pressure a little towards the kneecap. After 30 seconds, slowly slide your foot back and under your chair as far as it will go, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds. It is important to keep a good pressure on the leg or this won't take. If that happens try it once more.
Can Human Growth Hormone injections increase muscle mass naturally?
I strongly dislike that I have size zero legs. I work them out and eat a lot of protein but I cannot gain weight anywhere but my midsection! If I get HGH injections will that automatically increase the muscle mass in my thighs? Thanks
Should I take HCG injection for muscle building?
HCG is usually taken during PCT ( post cycle therapy) by athletes or bodybuilders to get their natural test to normal levels after a steroid cycle.I would not recommend HCG.You can try some natural test boosters like Animal Test, Animal stak, ZMA, Tribulus etc.Also the reason for test being low can be too much estrogen so turn down on estrogenic foods like soy if you have been taking them & increase your protein intake from lean sources like chicken, beef, fish or fat free cottage cheese if you are a vegetarian & avoid foods containing too much fat.Also training intensity matters. Training will result in androgenic effect as you will improve your test levels with it.Other factor that may be resulting in issue with your test levels may be insufficient sleep. So make sure you are sleeping well.Even after trying all of these for few months, you don’t see any changes consult a doctor and he might advice you with HCG or estrogen blockers to help improve your test levels.
If you use steroids how fast do you notice muscle gains?
For the record, we will be discussing the use of steroids (specifically Anabolic Steroids) which are specific groups of compounds synthesized to enable fast muscle growths in humans.It's not secret that bodybuilders use steroids to pack lots of muscles in a very short period of time. And that's the big advantage that steroids. So as not to bore you with stories, I won't dive into the side effects of steroids use.Now, let's compare Natural Bodybuilding vs Steroid enhanced body buildbuilding. I will use my example here.I have been a bodybuilder for a while, however for the past 1 year, I have not seen much difference in my physique.The two photos (photos of me) above are one year apart. This is one year of serious and consistent workouts, diet, and serious weight training. I bench 105kg, squat 150kg and deadlift 180kg. Yet, I don't look so big. My size has stalled for over 6 months now. And that's the problem with natural bodybuilding.The truth is that our body has limits and it loves stability (homeostasis). Hence, when we reach a certain stage, growth plateaus (stalls).And that's how and where Anabolic Steroids comes in. They help in breaking our genetic limitations.For a natural bodybuilder, you will gain 15 to 20 pounds of muscle in your first year. However, a steroid user will gain that in his first 2 months!Source -Physical health and fitness of an elite bodybuilder during 1 year of self-administration of testosterone and anabolic steroids: a case study.Mind you, the first year is when natural bodybuilders will most likey see great progress. Henceforth, it becomes harder to pack muscles in subsequent years and when we grow older, it's harder. Anabolic Steroids helps to break these genetic constraints.
Can you inject steroids, not workout and still grow muscles?
Yes! You see, steroids work like MAGIC it is your olde magic pill. Even if you wont work out or do it half ass-you’ll start to develop muscles fast and easy. However-steroids are good as long as they are pharma grade gear and this is pretty damn expensive stuff, people who do fitness professionally or just very rich can afford real deal. However-urges to skip so called “Natty” and start using “Gear” is really unhealthy and i’ll be right if i’ll compare it with collage lip injections or breasts and butt implants. People in he bodybuilding scene tend to go into the inhuman stages, unless you are some kind of greek god-this is unachiveable. But if you are simple guy-using pharma is prolly going to screw up your health plain and simple,”Gear” is fairly easy to come by but it’s mostly “Chinese underground labs Co” and it’s not really clean and in most of the cases people taking that stuff don’t consult medical professionals before starting to inject stuff in their butts.

I wanna take decadron 5ml injection for bodybuilding?
Why in the world would anyone take dexamethasone (decadron) for bodybuilding? That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You realize that its effects--increasing fat and decreasing muscle--are the complete opposite of what you are trying to achieve right? Before your let your mimbo friends fool you into poisoning yourself with random drugs, make sure you go on google and learn about them! Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexamethasone
How much testosterone can be injected daily?
Ok first off, and I am telling you this as someone who has injected testosterone for 25 years... it doesn't work like that. I'm certainly no bodybuilder type. By the way, mine is prescribed by an endocrinologist, totally legal and for a medical reason. You don't inject testosterone every day, you do it at most, once a week, but usually no more than once every 2 weeks. This is the thing.. testosterone, if taken in too large a dose, does something called "aromatize". What it aromatizes into is estrogen. And then you get boobs. That is not a joke it is absolutely true. Not to mention it will shrink your testicles up to marbles and make the hair fall right out of your head, even if baldness doesn't run in your family. So most bodybuilders don't use testosterone at all, they use other anabolics. If you use testosterone for muscle growth then you have to take a cocktail of other things to bring down the effect of the aromatization of the estrogen, or you get all the negative effects. Leave T alone if you don't know what you are doing and don't have the funds to pay for everything else you will need to go along with it.
Is it safe to use testosterone injections, administered by a doctor, as a means to increase muscle gains from exersise?
Being prescribed by a doctor has no influence on toxicity or potential for adverse effects. But then, the amounts that any normal doctor would prescribe would very likely be of minimal potential for adversity. If your doc prescribes, say, 75–125 mgs of T per week (by injection), that would be a reasonable starting replacement dose for a hypogonadal guy, and it would indeed have beneficial effects on workout recovery and muscle gains, over time.
