BPC-157 Shoulder Log

[Mastodon]

I didn't get to do my rehab workout on Monday as I hoped to, so I did it on Tuesday. Unfortunately it was after 9 pm before I could do it and I was very tired from not getting much sleep Monday night. After the workout I pinned 500mcg of BPC and 2 iu's of growth then went to bed. Today I had an appointment with my physical therapist. My shoulder was feeling very sore so I took 800mg of Ibuprofen and a Percocet tablet then pinned 500mcg of BPC before going. Half way through therapy my shoulder felt great, lol. Anyway, my therapist wants me to back down and go lighter with the weights for the next week.

Tuesday's Workout

DB Floor Press - 10lbs/50reps, 15lbs/50reps, 20lbs/50X35

Friday I pinned 250mcg of BPC in my right bicep near the shoulder and 500mcg BPC in the shoulder for a total of 750mcg. After pinning the BPC I did a lot of mobility work stretching the shoulder and working on range of motion. Then I did my strengthening rehab workout.

Fridays Workout
DB Floor Press - 10lbs/50reps, 15lbs/50X50X50
One Arm DB Row - 30lbs/30X30X30
DB Side Lateral (Thumbs Down) 2lbsX20reps, 3lbs/20X20 (each rep slow and paused at top)
DB Rear Lateral Lying on Side - 3lbs/20X20X20
Steering Wheel- 25lb Bumper Plate/8X8
Lying Camber Bar Tricep Extension - 25lbsX10reps, 35lbsX6reps
Light Band Pushdown - 35X35X35
Standing DB Curl - 7.5lbs/20X20
DB Preacher Curl - 2lbs X 30reps

Shoulder was feeling really good after all this. I forgot to take my 2 iu's of GH last night before going to bed. Didn't sleep well, got less than 4 hrs of sleep before getting up. I certainly get a better nights sleep after taking the GH. Got up this morning and went turkey hunting until 2pm when a storm started moving into the area. Got home, iced the shoulder and took a nap. I have to say my shoulder is feeling much better the last few days. I have a follow up visit with my surgeon this coming Monday. Will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

Awesome log bro , sorry to hear about your injury. It looks like you've got yourself a really effective protocol with all the compunds, would be following... not sure what mobility drills u doing but also could recommend Kelly Starrett on youtube , watch his shoulder mobility videos they are the best on youtube.

Thanks, the mobility work I'm doing is pretty much what my PT has given me to do. I'm very familiar with Kelly Starrett and his web site and his videos and agree they're awesome. I do use a lacrosse ball and also have the voodoo bands for flossing.

Well I saw my physician today and have been given the official go ahead to resume training again. His only restrictions is to not go too heavy, to keep the reps at the very least in the 15-20 rep range, no over head pressing, to not lift my hands above my head on standing lateral raises, to not lower my hands below my chest on any flat back bench exercises, and to take it slow. He said my range of motion is still behind where it should be, but my strength is now pretty much on point. Interestingly, I was also told the pain that I'm still feeling in my front shoulder is actually in the bicep tendon at its insertion. I've decided to up my testosterone dose to 200mg per week. I'm keeping the BPC at 500mcg and the GH dose at 2 iu's per day. I'm going to begin training 4 days a week doing upper body on Mondays and Thursdays and lower on Tuesdays and Fridays. I plan on doing light sled pulls on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Stretching and mobility work will continue to be done every day as regaining full range of motion is my highest priority right now. As before, If my shoulder should start to become too inflamed or sore then I'll take time off until it recovers.

Continuing with 500mcg of BPC and 2iu's of Growth per day. Shoulder is really feeling good this week. Certain movements do still cause pain so I still have to be careful when exercising/rehabbing. I talked to my PT about this and told him it feels like a nerve getting pinched. He told me that this is what he thinks is going on as well. I noticed that when I ice my shoulder I get a burning sensation in my shoulder and in my elbow/tricep tie in area.

Monday I pinned 500mcg BPC along with my 2iu's of GH after working out and right before going to bed. Trying to benefit from the synergistic effects of BPC on Growth. I don't know what the best timing for dosing these two to get the best effects so I just decided to take them together. If any one has any input on how best to time these two compounds I would appreciate hearing it.

Before doing Monday's workout, I did some rehab work using the thera-bands. This consisted of 3 sets each of internal and external rotations. These were done to from both the side and overhead directions each. Also did rear band extension followed by some overhead and then behind back stretching.

Monday's Workout
2 Board Bench Press - 45lbsX50, 65lbsX50, 85lbsX30, 105lbsX20

Face Down Incline DB Curl - 5lbs/30, 12.5lbs/25X25
Standing DB Hammer Curl - 7.5lbs/20X20

After the workout I did external rotations with a 2lb DB lying on my side as well as lying side laterals with no weight for 3 sets each of 15 reps. I then did a lot of static stretching for my shoulder in various planes of rotation using the 2lb DB and gravity to apply tension. Each stretch was held for at least 60 seconds.

On Wednesdays I see a Physical Therapist. This past Wednesday he had me do chair dips for the first time. My shoulder didn't seem to want to go in that direction but this movement forced it to do so. I did one set of ten reps and that was it. My shoulder was very sore after this and I started to not go to the gym on Thursday. In hind sight I wish I'd just stayed home.

Shoulder really started hurting so I went home and iced it. I noticed that I now have a bruise about 2" in diameter on my front delt. On Friday I pretty much kept an ice pack on my shoulder all day. Earlier today I decided to pin 1000mcg of BPC in two 500mcg injections. I also pinned 2iu's of GH with the BPC. I plan on doing two 500mcg injections again tomorrow along with my GH. It will be interesting to see how my shoulder feels come Monday.

After 3 weeks so far of BPC 10iu a day my shoulder is worlds better! MRI said I had slightly torn rotator cuff. It feels so much better now!

Glad to hear BPC is helping your shoulder. I'm assuming 10iu is equal to 500mcg per day?

Sorry I haven't updated this log in over a week. As I noted in my last log post, I upped the BPC daily dose to 1mg split in two 500mcg doses. I dosed the BPC this way for four days straight (Saturday-Tuesday). Starting that Monday I also upped my HGH dose to 3.3iu's per day. After dosing the BPC at 1000mcg for four days my shoulder felt really good; so I dropped the dose back down to 500mcg per day. I spoke with my PT about what might have happened while doing the chair dips that caused the extreme soreness and bruising in my shoulder. He said it was scar tissue breaking apart that caused it. I now have much better range of motion and can do the dips, albeit I have to be very careful when doing that motion.

Yeah I plugged 150iu into one vial and got 15 shots out of it. It feels like I'm 10 years younger in my shoulder man. It's a miracle.
