Gym Talk.....

[j.r.w.]

One of the stories that is going around in my gym is that HGH keeps your receptors from getting burned out on steroids - that when you plateau on the juice you can take HGH and it opens your receptors back up. Is there any truth to this? Sometimes I cant determine whether gym talk is fact or bull$hit.

new muscle equals more receptors so it is true to a degree

I came across a study a while ago that had found that taking AAS upgraded receptors quite a bit within a week or so, but this effect wore off over 6 months. So for longer cycles, it may take something like HGH to maintain the upregulation.
