First off, even though the miniquicks are the most expensive form of hgh on the market, it is a great product. I can travel with them for up to 90 days without refrideration and the needle is TINY. I mean you can't feel the injection at all. I have had to repeat an injection three times (cause I was sleepy and stuck it in before I mixed it, then didn't turn it all the way...) If it were not for this product/packaging i would not have been able to do this at all...
Anyway,
Week one. Everyone says you are supposed to feel nothing. They are right. Zip.
Week two- skin actually starts looking a little better... less oil, looks tighter round the eyes. No strength increase at all. Unlike other people that have posted, I slept terrible... might have something to do with changing 8 time zones, then going back two and then forward three, but anyway, it is not a cure for jet-lag.
Week three- There are noticeable changes in my abs. The love handles are shrinking- the stuff really does spot reduce! (I have gone from 33" to 32") I look tighter, actually look a little younger--- gettting comments that I look well rested,have I been on vacation, etc. I have plenty of energy in the gym, but no real changes in strength.
Week four- I have gained 5 pounds! Unreal. I am now 220 lbs. My waist is still 32" (think I was tugging a bit to get it down to 32" last week, but, hey, we all want quick results...). I have probably lost 1-2% body fat and gained 5 pounds... Stuff has my attention.
My strength has not really improved empericially, my three rep max on bench is still 130 kgs and I am still squatting 165 kgs for ten, but there is a confidence when I am at heavy weights that I didn't have before. Hard to describe. It is like I know I can push the weight nice and clean before I start the set. Sleeping very well. No joint problems. Skin looking better...
Kind of wondering when or if the strength will kick in....
I'll keep you posted.
