BPC-157 experience — Chris D

I’d been dealing with elbow pain for almost a year. It wasn’t bad enough to stop training, but it was always there, especially when I pressed. I tried resting it, changing grips, massage, random rehab exercises — nothing really seemed to stick.

Eventually I kept seeing BPC-157 come up in forums and decided to give it a shot. Around the same time, I also cut my pressing volume way down and finally started doing rehab properly instead of only when my elbow flared up.

For the first week, nothing happened. By the second, it felt a bit better. Then in week three I had my first pain-free pressing session in months, and I was convinced the BPC was working.

A few weeks later I pushed the volume too fast and the pain came back. That made me question the whole thing. I backed off again, kept doing the rehab, and the elbow improved. Even after I stopped BPC-157, the progress didn’t disappear.

So now I’m a lot less certain about what actually helped. Maybe BPC-157 did something. Maybe the biggest difference was that I finally reduced the load and stayed consistent with rehab.

If I did it again, I’d track things properly from the start and change fewer variables at once. The main thing I learned is that it’s very easy to credit the exciting thing and ignore the boring stuff that may be doing most of the work.
