Your body has been through some serious shock already. Your internals do not function as well as they used to. I am not saying that a normal body can process steroids well, but a body with a SCI is even worse.
How's this for an idea: Lift weights, eat plenty of protein, and get sleep. That is a good recipe for building muscle. If you want to take supplements, how about Protein, amino acids, creatine, vitamins or the like. Why put your body through unneccesary turmoil over a few extra inches of muscle???

We all want to get stronger, but becareful and stay within your limits.
I want to workout more and exercise more, but my body hurts when i over do it. It takes a few days for the pain\hurts to go away ranting2.gif
I am a quad at the c6\7 level 6mos post injury wondering when the pain\hurts will ease up after my workouts. I know about the no pain no gain saying so i'm pushing on.
I have dumb-bells weights i use to workout with for now. I want more exercise equip but it gets expensive uknow.

Anyway check this site out and see if it motivate you more !!! http://www.wheelchair-bodybuilding.com/home.

Hi i am bodybuilding from my chair i have experiance with steroids prior to my injury but i have not as yet used since being in a chair, although it may be of use to gain muscle and strentgh steroids need to be taken in cycles and you need to make sure all the precautions to help prevent toxic effects that most steroids will have on the body.

PM me if you want to know some more about cycles and other stuff needed while on steroids but i am only able to offer advice from my own experiance it is down to you if you decide to take the plunge into using them as said above a good high protein diet good training program and plenty of rest inbetween training will make ya grow.
