    Cool the HGH "look"

    Just want some of the bros to chime in. Do you think the negative side effects of growth make it a poor choice for moderate use (4-6iu/ed;5,2) in order to achieve the lean, glowing skin look that gh use is able to achieve?

    I use that description for lack of a better one, but I think you guys know what I mean when I say the gh "look". I mean, if your goals are not to get jacked or huge, would moderate gh use be safer than messing with test levels by using strong AS?

    don't take into effect the economics of it all yet. purely from a health and look perspective.

    I use hGH. I would not recommend anyone use it unless they are thirty or older unless a medical condition calls for its use at a younger age.

    GH Therapy in adults:

    The usefulness of GH treatment in adults who have completed their statural growth is based on the roles of GH in the following activities:

    Increasing bone density
    Increasing lean tissue
    Decreasing adipose tissue
    Bolstering cardiac contractility
    Improving mood and motivation
    Increasing exercise capacity.

    Serum IGF-1 concentrations are useful indicators of GH adequacy and age adjusted normal ranges.

    Blood glucose levels should be monitored along with thyroid functions.

    I would not recommend the use of hGH without a doctors script.

    I would use test before I started using hGH and see what gains you made if given a choice between the two. Since I am on hrt I do both under a doctors care.

    Good luck goldenfloyd, and if you do use hGH be careful its not something to play around with.

    In a study of hGH therapy for adults here are the side effects:

    115 adults, 6 months applied therapy

    37.4% developed edema (serous fuild in the tissues)
    19.1 % developed arthralgia ( (neuralgic pain in joint)
    15.7 % myalgia ((muscular rheumatism)
    7.8% paresthesias (impaired skin sensation)
    1.7% carpal tunnel.

    These symptoms most commonly occurred at the outset of therapy and most resolved within 1 to 2 months while therapy was continued.

    I have not had these side effects but I am only 5 weeks in to my 6 month therapy. I use 8 iu a week.

    Hope this was helpful.....

    What is the difference between all the different brands of HGH? Do they all do the same thing? I do know that some are mixed differently. Like Humatrope by Eli Lilly has the "MINI QUICK" a pre mixed pin that doesn't require refrigeration.

    Peace,

    thanks for the feedback bros. I'm stickin to the test for now, but i just hate the acne it produces. I feel like i'm big enough to the point where I'm starting to look bulky in my clothes, but I've had great fat loss with test so I will continue to use what works.

    Hgh used for under 30 only to make you take first instead of third on stage thats all...no miracles NOT the drug for newbies .....
    go for diet,training constantly in all circumstancesand test. first then go for GH or whatever to fine tune and complete the work.

    I am in my 20's... one of the few people and have done more GH than I can remember! I have been on it mostly for 2-3 years taking some breaks but I like to stay on year round!

    Only permanent side effect I have is the jaw line under my ear is extended... I am not sure if it has been this way forever or if it is due to GH usage!

    Other than that I have nothing but great things to say about it I stay lean and vascular almost year round while not eating clean all the time and with a slower metabolism!

    Which ones, lol! I do long cycles usually minimum of 4-5 months and about 4 months ago got off of a 3 year cycle! When I cycle long I switch the gear, sometimes using high test and other times low amounts of test and high anabolics and uaully GH year round I stay at around 215lbs lean and go up to right under 240lbs and I am only 5'8" but I really like myself around 210-220 I like being lean and vascular!

    I prefer lower dosages of test and staying on longer I seem to get better keepable gains from it! The highest I will usually go with test is 1gram and that isn't to often!
