From my experience prednisolone played a role when inflammation not strength or motivation was the real limiter. There were periods where my joints felt swollen tissues stayed irritated N even light movements felt uncomfortable making productive training tough. Once inflammation was brought under control everyday mobility improved n pain stopped dominating my sessions. That meant I could train with better form, move through full ranges of motion n focus on quality work instead of constantly protecting sore areas. Recovery felt more manageable because my body wasn’t stuck in an overactive inflammatory state all the time. It’s not something I associate with gains or performance enhancement but rather with allowing the body to calm down so training could resume safely. Used carefully N under proper medical guidance, it helped prevent downtime n tissue damage when inflammation was the biggest obstacle which for a serious lifter can make the difference between staying consistent and being forced to stop altogether.
I totally get that man " The Inflammation" can wreck your whole game. I’ve had those days where my knees or elbows felt like they were gonna explode prednisolone helped me get past that point where I was just constantly dealing with pain. It’s like you’re not fighting yourself anymore. It’s all about staying healthy n avoiding the long-term damage that comes from pushing through the pain.
When inflammation s the issue it's not about how hard you can push or how much motivated you are. It’s just about getting the body back into a state where you can move without pain. I used pred a few times when I couldn’t even squat without feeling like my knees were shott.
Brother predd is smthg more to me when my shoulders flared up or when my back was out of whack it was most required. Once that swelling and irritation were under controlled I could actually train with decent form and keep the gains rolling without worrying about wrecking my joints every time.
