I had an MRI last year, because I hurt my shoulder badly. The MRI showed the following in very brief detail: MRI reading last year: Severe tendinopathy in the long head distal portion of the biceps; labrum was diffusely torn; superspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis all had mild to moderate tendinopathy with edema. ————————— My shoulder was unbelievably painful. It healed a bit over the next 2 months… but after the two months, it was never really the same. My shoulder would do weird shit in the morning, during the day and at night. I couldn’t bench or overhead press anymore, or at least the way that I wanted to. I was limited to just back work, and very, very limited at tricep work due to the bicep tendon. I had to be very careful on my bicep work, because if I did hammer curls, I would out of commission for like a week, that bicep tendon would be so angry with me. It was bad. And even some of the back work I had to be careful with. My training was very limited upper body wise. My body still looked good despite my size, but I was grossly weak…and I fucking hated it About a year in, I threw in the towel. At this point, I had chronic shoulder pain, and I wanted to do something about it because I was tired of being in pain, and my upper body training being mundane and boring. The following was my protocol: Injections with insulin needle: BPC-157: 1000 mcg/1 mg - 5 weeks TB-500: 1000 mcg/1mg - 5 weeks Cartalax: 1000 mcg/1 mg - 5 weeks Oral: Sigumir: 2 capsules a day: 30 days The Result: My shoulder healed nearly 90%….I still have very mild discomfort every so often… but it is almost unnoticeable. I was finally able to bench again. And as a sidenote, every time I benched either with dumbbells or a barbell my affected side would severely lag towards the last few reps and my bicep tendon would be incredibly inflamed and painful thereafter. Now, I have either zero or very minimal lag when I bench. And zero or very minimal discomfort residual post benching pain. I am approaching a 455 bench hopefully by the end of July.
