I am planning to run a peptide stack to heal my hamstring i had a grade 2 tear in january end. I still feel some tightness in my hams. So thought should try runni g this stack goint to do bpc157 + tb 500+ cjc 1295 witb DAC
Dosages are
Cjc 1295 Dac 500 mcg for weekly then after 4 week 750 mcg
Tb 500 will do 2.5 mg twice a week for 6 weeks
And for BPC will start at 100 mcg for week 1 then 200 mcg for week 2 and then 250 mcg for 4 weeks.
If anyone has any experience with these peptides especially for healing hams tear do share.
Thank You
There’s no reason why a grade 2 tear shouldn’t have recovered after 9 months…
How old are you and what did you try to rehab the injury?

I have deadlifted my PR of conventional twice after the injury buy whenever i go for sumo dead it feels like its gonna rupture again. It feels like its tight. I had some physio sessions he gave me a program to recover from it. Which included light stretches and great isolation movements around my hams like towel push with legs, single leg stiff hyperextension, glute briges with foot on a bench. And then after some time good mornings.
Generally speaking, there’s more hamstring engagement in a conventional deadlift than a sumo deadlift, which makes me suspect that the issue isn’t really the hamstring.
Two follow-up questions:
- How was the hamstring strain diagnosed? Did your physio ever do an objective strength measurement like a leg curl 1RM or a dynamometer? If an MRI or ultrasound was used, which specific muscle(s) were strained
- Would you say your “feels like it’s gonna rupture” pain is smack-bang on the back of the thigh, or toward midline (i.e back/inner thigh)?
I have a strong suspicion that your symptoms are more likely related to adductor magnus, or the adductor fibres of the medial hamstrings (the ones that work as hip muscles, not knee muscles).
In that case, I would be focussing rehab on graded exposure to sumo position, plus some direct adductor training. This is all in addition to “regular” training
May I suggest that, before you hop on some peptides, you spend the next 4-6 weeks building back to sumo deadlifts with the following
- Sumo-stance good mornings (preferably zercher style): start at 3 sets of 12-15 and progress to 3 sets of 5-8, 2xweekly
- Sumo block pulls: start at 5 x 5 at a very light weight, and slowly build up to 3 x 5 at a heavy weight, 1-2x weekly
- Copenhagen plank: start at 3 sets of (3 x 10s) with a short lever and progress all the way up to 3 x 30s with a long lever, 2-3x weekly
Short lever Copenhagen:
Long lever Copenhagen:

My physio did assesments to determine it is a grade 2 tear i think he did hamstring curl 1 rm Test. The tear was at the knee end thats what my physio told me. I was able to squat after just 2 months at my previous strength i did 202.5 kgs for 10 reps easily. But whenever it comes to sumi deadlifts it just doesnt feel right. I will look into the abductor thing and will try your rehab program and will tell you the results. Thank you so much for your insights.
The pain is at the back of my knee joint where hams are attached on the left side or u could say outer edge.
Just confirming, you’ve got a left hamstring injury that hurts on the left side knee the knee?
Given your site of pain I’m not actually 100% sure what I suggested would help. I assumed your pain was more in the thigh
Do you have any footage of your sumo? Are you toed-in or toed-out? A sumo stance with toes relatively in will stretch the portion of the hamstring you’re describing (distal biceps femoris)
I’m curious what your strength on a seated hamstring curl is like on one leg versus the other. Have you done any heavy single leg hamstring curls recently?

Why so low on the BPC dosing? Most protocols START at 500 mcg/day. I’ve gone as high as 1mg/day, especially when dealing with an acute injury.

Yes i have pain on the left leg and on the left side of it. My physio also said something about distal biceps femoris.
I would say toes out or toes at 45 degree thats what i look out for while doing sumo deads.
For single leg hams curl 30-40 kgs for 8 reps with isometric holds i do it after deadlifts and single leg RDLs. I have fully stacked the lying hamstring curl machine for 6 clear reps.
I was injured in january and can run easily sprint easily without any problem. But whenever i do sumo deadlift it just doesnt feels good. I was going low on bpc coz i heard these dosages were good feom my friends who have already used it and have researched on it. Got both research dosages and practical dosages then came up with this plan.
Is that the same between legs?

Like i can do 1 or 2 reps more with my right one but i push it equally.
In that case, in addition to whichever decision you make with the BPC (unfortunately I’ve got no knowledge in that area), I would fight tooth-and-nail to equalise that hamstring curl between-legs
In particular, try doing 2 legs concentric + 1 leg eccentric when doing the left hamstring curl, and I would prioritise seated over prone leg curls. That method will increase the stress through the sore area versus a regular leg curl

Just started doing seated intead of lying its just been a week. I will be running peps for some extra healing u could say. Will absolutely try your method and tell u results about in a month or so.
