Post Ankle Surgery Cycle Advice

Pharma / TRT
1

Hi guys,

I’ve been lifting for 5 years constantly and have had my first break from the gym due to a Bimalleolar Ankle fracture requiring Open Reduction Internal Fixation surgery.

I have had nearly 2 months out of the gym and will be 6 weeks post op next week and am considering starting my first cycle - was thinking Test E 500mg for 12 weeks and am looking for advice on any possible side effects this may have on the ankle joint?

Imagine sourcing isn’t a problem, what would you ideally run?

Goal: Return normal ankle function but gain lean muscle, not a bulking cycle as I find it easy to put on size and hard to lose fat.

Any information is appreciated! If you need any more info plz let me know

Cheers

interesting you bring this up, as i am currently recovering from 2 surgeries and expecting a 3rd, and planning a “rehab cycle.”

there is some data thrown around the internet that suggest deca increases collagen 270% and EQ 340% or something, and any test dose over 200 mg lowering collagen 80%. anyway, i literally spent several hours earlier today trying to find the actual data, and it apparently does not exist. there are several articles debunking those numbers, though.

however, there are some studies showing that deca increase collagen 50% or so (and it also increases bone density), and test and hGH obviously help recovery and growth in numerous ways.

i would go with a lower dosed cycle than normal, as i wouldn’t want to develop any strength imbalances. lower doses are also important here, as we can’t run an AI on this cycle, as the estrogen/progestins can really help with joint recovery, and we don’t want this going low.

personally, right now i’m leaning towards 10-16 weeks of test e (300 mg), deca (300 mg) and hGH (2-4 IU)…

It might be hard to add lean muscle. Make sure you use tren because it helps get rid of the fatty muscle in a bulk

I know a guy who had 2 broken ankles and a broken elbow from a motorcycle wreck. He ran 200mg deca with 400mg eq and 250mg test a week while recovering from the surgeries. The Dr. said at 10 weeks the bones and soft tissue were fully healed and he’d never seen someone recover so fast.

Thanks for the advice guys! I have also seen the numerous claims about test over 200mg messing with collagen which is what prompted this post. I think I will go for low dose Test/Deca/Eq cycle.
