HGH and CrossFit

[ZaLkeN]

Good idea? Bad idea? Does HGH require PCT? Would HGH be beneficial for CrossFit? Would any steroid benefit CrossFit?

[ZaLkeN]

I'm up to 5-6 workouts a day 5 days a week with 5-6 strength sessions a week but I don't want to hurt my work capacity.

[Black]

GH does not require a PCT. I'd research GH more and you'll be able to decide if its beneficial to you. If you are looking for direct improvement in your CrossFit numbers, I'd consider something else.

[Allaaro]

Gh for Crossfit....I'd only do it if I was at a very high competing level in crossfit...but then I'd also be running probably a ton of gear trying to win everything.

I wouldn't recommend you do GH, be a waste of money in my mind for crossfit. Test cycle be a good start though...you have any AAS experience?

[TFf]

Did u mean to say that you work out 5-6 times a day? Can you please elaborate on these workouts?

I am at competition level but I mean cmon, are they serious with the strength numbers they put up with the work capacity they have. I've ran two test e cycles. First was 500mg a week. PCT'd properly. Didnt lose anything actually. Kept ALL STRENGTH and work capacity. Did second cycle. 1000mg 2 shots a week. Started putting up some daddy numbers but my work capacity was taking a hit. Needed something to up the anti on my capacity. PCT'd properly and kept all strength again. Haven't lifted in about a month and half due to reasons I wont list here, not medical or injury related. But back to jumping between 2-4 metabolic conditioning WODS a day plus 2-3 strength sessions a day depending on workload for both metcons and strength. Strength is pretty much where I left it. A little weaker but nothing I can't get back in a month. Ready to blow the competition out of the water at regionals though and get my ticket to the games. I don't believe those guys aren't on gear most of the year if not through the games.

It's been at least 6 months since my last cycle and I still have the strength from them. I had my doubts about losing it when you stop. But I no longer have them.

Any advice?

[ZaLkeN]

They do test at the end of regionals. It's only a piss test though. Any way around a piss test. I don't know how invasive it is though =/

[ZaLkeN]

I read the guide on here for HGH and it seems like this is right up my alley. It won't be in my system long enough for test for it but ill be on it 5-8 months at a time. Perfect if I start it at the beginning of the season.

It suggests stacking with test for quicker gains but im in no hurry.

[TFf]

So are you doing 2-3 metcon wods and 2-3 strength wods in one workout session, or are you having 5-6 seperate workouts in one day?

[ZaLkeN]

Separate throughout the day. Here I made this post in the newbie section.

Bio Before 2 Cycles
Age 23
Weight 170
Clean and Jerk - 200
Squat - 250
Front Squat - 185
Snatch - 135...
Bench - 185

After 2 cycles
Age 23
Weight 205ish
Clean and Jerk - 295
Squat - 425
Front Squat - 335
Snatch - 235
Bench - 300
Strict Press - 205

I don't do any sort of bodybuilding.

My work capacity was through the roof and almost everything remains to this day a slight decrease in strength due to relocation but I will resume FULL training in about 5-6 day so I think I can have it back in a week.

For my cycles I Did

250mg Test E for 13 weeks
Did the cycle with a buddy without researching
Did nothing for PCT like an idiot except goat weed...

then immediately jumped on a

1000mg test e for 10 weeks
2 shots a week

Only PCT was HCG
for 2 weeks 1 shot a week i believe 1ml I cant remember much. I truly apologize but I used a total of 10 iu i know for sure.
Cant remember how long because i was a lab rat for my buddy and was consumed with my training..

Ended up keeping everything I gained strength wise and have been off for about 5-6 months now and would like to start learning everything I need to do myself because i feel I could be a lot stronger than i am now. I do strictly CrossFit and am looking to compete. I can make it to regionals as of now but its not hard to tell the top competitors are using something. If not they have got some EXTREME genetics but I dont believe that.

I have been reading a lot on HGH and heard it does tendon and ligament strengthening and stacked with test can be diabolical. i did however notice a slight decline in my work capacity but it could be because i was so gung ho about my strength gains i didnt really care. Well now I do and am looking to make the most out of my future cycles. I want veins popping out of my arms like a spiderweb!! But I seek performance over all else. Aesthetics are not what I am after. Sorry for the short essay and HI

[Sledgehammer1]

For HGH, you need a minimum of 6 months to begin to see results. Taking a minimum of 4iu, which isn't much. That said, its not cheap. Plus most of what out on the market is fake. So its best to go with Pharma, which is hard to find.

[TFf]

Please explain these 6 workouts on a average day, do you have a job?

[ZaLkeN]

I do have a job. I own a gym and have a trainer working with me so it's not difficult to just stay in the gym all day. I have the privilege of training whenever i want.

Example Day

About 8-9AM

1.Three sets, not for time, of:
Bar Muscle-Ups x 3-6 reps
Strict Handstand Push-Ups x 10-12 reps

Rest 10-15 Minutes
Eat

2.Take 15-20 minutes to build to a heavy Split Jerk
3.Take 15-20 minutes to build up to a heavy back squat

Eat

Teach classes

Approx 11-12

4.Every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes:
10 Shoulder to Overhead (135/95 lb)
10 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups

Eat(Rest 10-15 min)

If I have time Ill do the last part, if not ill resume around 2-3 oclock

5.Three sets for max reps:
Stationary Dips x Max Reps @ 1011
(pause at full elbow extension every rep)
Rest 3 minutes

Teach class the rest of the day

I'll eat 3-5 times throughout the day, usually right after I workout with 2-3 protein shakes a day. Fish oil, Amino's, Creatine Monohydrate, Glutamine also included.

[ZaLkeN]

I've been told that in the US you can only get it prescribed if you have dwarfism.

[TFf]

Wow that seems like a long day. Is there a reason you don't incorporate those small groups of sets into only one or two workouts,
As far a GH I would assume that it would not hurt you to use GH long term it would probably help with recovery, and after exercising all day like that recovery would be optimal.
On your previous post you said your first cycle was 250mg/wk and your second cycle was 1000mg/wk? Did your sides increase from 250-1000?

[Chx beach 79]

I've been told that in the US you can only get it prescribed if you have dwarfism.

Not true. You can get HGH from mostgood
HRT specialists. I have the option to get it from mine but am waiting until I am 50. It's not cheap either about $1500-$2000 a months including all blood work, gear and any other tests.

[ZaLkeN]

What about overseas? What kind of availability in India? Anyone know?

I think I meant to type 500mg. I cant remember. I know I'm an idiot. Maybe it was 250 initially and then 500 a week after that.

[ZaLkeN]

I mean at 24, what could I possibly come up with saying that I need HGH for? I don't look unhealthy at all. Not trying to toot my own horn but I look rather healthy and the doc would CLEARLY see I don't have any sort testosterone problems.

[ZaLkeN]

Or hormone problems for that matter. Can I just lie and say I never feel like having sex?

[ScotchGuard02]

You're young, I'd stay away from HGH for the next few years. If you can manage your workouts without gear, that's the best. Once you start on gear it's a long term commitment and there will be sides. It's just a matter of how severe they will become. Stay natural for as long as you can.

[marcus300]

I really don't think hgh will be of any benefit to you at this stage

[Chx beach 79]

Yeah it would be fishy unless there was injuries that were involved and they were using HGH to help the healing.

If you made it to regionals I would say you are doing well in Crossfit but the dilemma posed with HGH is the fact that you need to be on for 6 months to reap any results or benefits. Thats the problem....

[chi]

Another thing I'd like to add is that high amounts of test have caused me to become lethargic at times and maybe thats why your work capacity has been reduced? Caffeine is definitely your friend in times like this!

[ZaLkeN]

I realize just how young I am but some of the numbers the big boys are putting up are outrageous. 370 pound clean and jerk. Soon someone is going to break 400. My buddy has jerked 390. I don't know for sure if hes on roids but I mean cmon. 390? ON TOP of all the capacity and gymnastic stuff hes doing. There is no way they aren't on gear. My test cycles made me STUPID STRONG but my capacity did suffer BUT I also was doing more strength. Perhaps just do strength with twice as much capacity WODS.

I mean is it possible to get that strong without roids? I wouldn't mind saving a few hundred bucks from not having to buy gear and just slamming natty food and a lot of shakes.

I was thinking for my next cycle once I get AI and SERMS figured out along with proper PCT I would run

Test Ethanate
Anavar <--Ive heard and read it is the cardio steroid . Is this possible? I thought if something makes you produce more red blood cells that benefits cardio. But maybe I'm a total idiot. Hence why I'm a newb

I suppose Nolva for PCT and HCG during cycle? I just don't know what the proper timing of all this stuff should be. I suppose my first task is blood work which is cheap where I live.

Any recommendations for another cycle? I'm beginning to look into it and need advice. I've ran test before and LOVED IT but I needed something more now because my strength is getting high its affecting capacity.

Anything else I haven't heard of any lasting success. Any suggestions?

same program as tested athletes: under the radar amount of test, hGH, insulin and oxandrolone. But you need less worries about getting busted since oxandrolone clears out rather quickly, insulin can not be tested and hGH requires a blood test within 12 hours of the last injection to be detected. but maybe longer if you are using insulin along with it.

if you want to spend your money on something other than drugs i recommend that you see a weightlifting coach, technique is everything.

and btw, what country are you from?

I am a weightlifting coach :P My country isn't important.

Oxandrolone helps work capacity? What would be an undetectable amount of test? What would be the purpose of insulin?

Insulin will put size and strength on you in a fast amount of time. But from you listing your previous cycles, i don't suggest you using it. It's extremely dangerous and there is a huge difference between 10 ui and 50ui. You said you don't remember exactly how much test you ran, which will be problematic when you run insulin. Takes a lot of dedication and commitment id you want to pin slin. Doses have to be perfect, meals have to be perfect and most of all, carbs have to be tracked down to each gram. If you do decide to run it, the guides and info out there suggest using it after workouts. Imo, it's better to pin 15-30 minutes before workouts, chug a shake before going into the gym with appropriate carbs/protein, then sip on another shake during the workouts. Possibly even drink another one after. Having said that, slin is more of a size drug though. It will build muscle more than it will give you strength.

Idk much about crossfit but from what i've see , it requires a lot of cardio and strength at the same time. So If I were you, i'd run a 12-16 week cycle with 500mg/week test, 500-600mg/ week eq, and 60-80mg of anavar . That should increase your endurance, lean you up (if your diet is on point), and increase your strength. If you think you can handle it and need more endurance, look into EPO. But be warned, epo costs a lot, very little info on it and extremely dangerous

EPO seems not worth it. I can die from it lol. Im 24 and have a long life ahead of me. Not to mention the possible diseases from blood donors. No way. Not until the process is perfected which I doubt ever will. Something more effective and safer will probably come out before then.


I like the test and wouldn't mind trying anavar , ive read alot of good reviews about the endurance anavar gives you. Do I really need the EQ? It builds muscle but i mean test is enough isn't it? But then again daddy numbers are getting higher and higher. I read and it sounds like it would just make me explode strengthwise. As for SERMs and AI what would be a good thing to run. Ill get back to this post with what I have researched and think I should do.

[ZaLkeN]

12-16 week cycle with
500mg/week test,
500-600mg/ week eq,
60-80mg of anavar

Unless someone thinks I should modify those a little.

Keep in mind I will be doing mostly CrossFit with quite a bit of strength sessions.

I have read and heard from many friends although hearing from a doc would be better which I will be attemping to obtain this time.

I'm wondering if I need to run HCG my entire cycle or towards the end and during PCT? And as for nolva. How much would be ideal for my above cycle for the AI? SERM should be Arimidex im thinking.

As for water retention any ideas?

EPO isn't the same as blood doping. It doesn't require blood transfusion. It's a hormone found in the body naturally, like test. A synthetic varient of it is used. You inject it along with iron to raise red blood cell count. More blood cells, more oxygen, more endurance. The process is def perfected as cyclist have been using it for years now. The only problem is, they don't really share that information. They make money on being the best, if they gice out info, then they are helping their competitors. Unlike steroids , EPO doesn't really interest the general gym goers, so there isn't much public information on it.

Most people on this board dislike EQ as it seems pointless in most cycles. But for you, it will increase endurance. EQ causes an increase in red blood cells just like EPO. It won't increase it to the level that EPO does, but it will def be noticeable and give you an edge. It's not really a muscle building or a strength drug though, hence why people on this site don't really like it.


Strength wise, anavar will help a lot. Right up there with tren . Not really close to tren, but you'll def see an increase in strength, more than you do from test.

As far as serms go, personally I like clomid. But that's up to you. Each one has its pros and cons, won't know which one you prefer until you use them all. You can use both nolva and clomid if you'd like. But be sure to research the compound before buying a certain serm. For example, using nolva after tren cycle, is a huge mistake. AI wise, I like aromasin . Most people prefer arimidex though. Again, both of them have their own pros and cons.

[ZaLkeN]

Maybe have more EQ then...Endurance is what I need in spades.

[ZaLkeN]

How much Arimidex ? And HCG is a def.

So Perhaps

16 week cycle with
500mg/week test,
600-700mg/ week eq,
60-80mg of anavar

HCG should start when?
Arimidex should start when?
Nolva During but how much.

[lolfb]

You can bump up the dose for eq if you'd like. It's relatively mild, side effect wise. Pretty comparable with what you would see with just testosterone , maybe even milder. But i'd start at max of 600mg, run it for 2-3 weeks, then increase the dosage. From what i've seen and read, more than that will not be necessary. It won't help in any additional way to go above that dosage, you'll just be wasting money. Plus the dosage won't really matter for endurance. It increases red blood cells but to a certain degree. I don't think endurance will get any better if you webt from 600mg to 2g. On top of that, too much red blood cells can cause more problems then any steroid . It can clog up arteries and thicken up your blood to the point that your heart can no longer pump blood.

[ZaLkeN]

I need to be clean by May 17 next month. Is this possible? Curios how long they stay in your system because I might be able to run a few if its short enough.

[Back In Black]

It's July next month, not May. Is that what you mean?

[ZaLkeN]

may 2014. haha not sure how I typed that. Maybe auto correct

[Back In Black]

Depending on your test ester, up to 3 months. About 3 weeks for var and 4-5 months for eq.

[ZaLkeN]

Crap. 5 months. Looks like 1 cycle it is haha
