: I am a first timer, and I have purchased I've purchased Norandren 50 (Mex). I like the idea of shortening the cycle from 10 weeks to 4 as stated in past posts, but I've heard that I have to use a certain gauge needle to inject. If so, then what gauge? Nobody can seem to tell me. Also, any other vital info I need to know before starting? Thanks.
Tendon Damage
Even when they manage to get the genuine juice, steroid users who blindly deny the damage to their hearts, readily accept that steroids put tendons at terrible risk. Studies show tendon damage every time, when animals fed steroids are made to exercise.(9)
We know now how it occurs. Tendons are those white bands, composed mainly of densely-packed, parallel collagen fibers, that join your muscles to bones and other structures. Steroids cause the body to make abnormal collagen, so they weaken tendons more than other body bits. Especially weakened is the muscle-tendon junction.(10)
Pathological effects on collagen is also a big reason why steroid users quickly get lined and wrinkled, because of all the abnormal collagen deposited in their skin. Look at some of the haggard faces of IFBB champions still in their 30's, and you'll see what I mean. (Tip: You have to look at them in person because the mag photos are air-brushed.)
