As I've mentioned before, athletes that are using gear to help in a sport don't need to dose quite as high as bodybuilders, to get the effect they're looking for. Before I talk about whats cheaper, I'm going to say that GH would be great for connective tissues and fat loss, as well as increase recovery and overall athletic health. Even 2-3IU a day would make a decent differecne over the long run. 

Steroids are less benefical for connective tissues, as they focus more on muscle. I would start with a low dose of test as your base. 1cc of test e EW for 10 wks will help support your muscle's hormonal needs, while you reduce cals and increase your cardio. You'll want to use a low dose of an AI to keey your drier and keep your test higher. From there, I would use a DHT based steroid, as they won't make you add additional fluid retention. The issue with some of them can be dry joints, which isnt going to help you, shoulder issue or not! I think that anavar would be good. You mentioned "cheap". anavar itself, itsn't cheap, but you aren't going to need much else besides 1 bottle of test, your anavar and an AI to control fluid from the test. Plus, as I mentioned, for athletic needs, you won't have to take as much var, as if you were a competitive BBer. For fat loss, you can also consider using clen or ECA stack. I find that clen doesn't help my cardio in any way, but ECA increases my enduance. You may find that helpful in the gym

1-10

test e 250mg EW

adex .5mg 1 to 2x wk

3-12

anavar 30mg ED. You can up the dose, if you like. I wouldn't think you'd need more than 50mg. Give 30mg at least 3 wks though to see how it's helping your performance. I think that will be enough.

As you can see, I have you taking var, 2 wks past the test. This will allow your test to clear while still on the var. PCT will start the day after you take your last dose of var
