Unless your a pro, or are trying to go pro, HGH is too much $$ to justify using
It's just too expensive to be running unless your trying to get to the top in this sport. It's been a huge hype in the past year or so, but even running at least 4-6iu/day I cannot justify its cost. And 2iu/day is wasting your time period. I cant say that it wont do anything for you as far as leaner gains and all, but you could get the same effects for fat burning w/ clen at a fraction of the cost. I told myself that I would give it a fair chance, it's been almost 4 months now, the only thing its really done for me is given me the opportunity to be bigger and not so fat on more calories/day, and cheat meals dont seem to hurt much either. But I do not look much different than I would have w/out it at all. My freind tells me to stick it out, its just starting to kick now and I wont be dissapointed these next couple months. But for the cost of this stuff, its just not worth it unless you have the kind of money to be dropping thousands like nothing.

Thanks for venting, I like to do that sometimes as well SS. Seems like you're at a mark where you're starting to realize that GH is not a wonder drug. For some reason some think that it will pack lbs. and lbs. of LBM on you. Sure with the addition of AAS its unstoppable. Are you using it synergistically with AAS or alone?????
As far as the topic of GH and it's financial value will vary from person to person. There are some that grab their ankles and pay $5 an IU. Then there are people that get kits for under $200 . So to some its completely worth it.
Many have gotten on my case about the use of GH and my age. But when I"m on GH I feel better, sleep better and have a better overall appearance. Not to mention how it aids in several different ways with training. I"ve been off for a couple of months and am gettign back on next month for 8 months at 4iu 5/2.
to sum up my personal experience I like it and am obviously using it again. No doubt in my mind that AAS will pack on waaaaaaaaaay more LBM then GH. It's all oriented around ones goal(s) and preferences. Hope this helps a little. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhso nice to vent...........

HGH and it`s problem`s, however since there are still some who argue that HGH offers nothing to athletes? There are, by all means, several who have tried HGH and who were sadly disappointed by its results. However, as with many things in life, there is a logical explanation or perhaps even more than one: 1. The athlete simply has not taken a sufficient amount of HGH regularly and over a long enough period of time. HGH is a very expensive compound and an effective dosage is unaffordable by most people. 2. When using HGH the body also needs more thyroid hormones,insulin , corticosteroids, gonadotropins, estrogens and what a surprise androgens and anabolics. This is also the reason why HGH, when taken alone,not saying your taking it alone ,is considerably less effective and can only reach its optimum effect by the additive intake of steroids , thyorid hormones, and insulin, in particular. I must point out in this case that HGH has a predominantly anabolic effect,which I love to abuse,it has helped me produce Fantastic results,as I feel this is the beginning with my discoveries with HGH,I`m in love with it.

I asked this in the longevity forum:
HGH a necesity?
Being as how some here always seem to get GH and test as a HRT/TRT therapy. Are you asking the Dr. if you need GH? I mean we know that men can't really be men with low test. But with GH how is it medically nescesary and do you ask your Dr.? How low is low on a IGF bloodwork. Also if your levels are low do you ever ask why? 2 iu is the standard HGH they say protocol. Why wouldn't a Dr. give you lets say 4iu. I had asked a Dr. this and he wouldn't give me an answer. So he got kicked to the curb. I felt he was being shady. Most of the HRT clinics make their bread off you guys that want HGH, I mean I haen't been through an endocriologist protocols in a while but I know they do more testing and have a better hold of the whole system. Why wouldn't you go to an Endocrinologist for GH testing or consultation?
I had a friend who was told by a Dr. over the phone without even looking at him that his weight gain was from low IGF levels and GH would help him. So the guy is in the system, they never gave him test just HCG . He works out and eats good. The guy hasn't really changed that much in a year. No remarkable LBM or gains in strengh. So he's telling me that GH isn't even needed to live a normal heathy life. Like the Dr. at the clinic claimed. That the snakeoil sales man got him. And got him good.. BTW he was on regulated meals and had a personal trainer for year. I saw him in the gym and he was always tearing it up with his trainer. And also with his son. He competed in Tri-athlons also during the year. I thought he looked good for an older guy. Never knew he was on a therapy plan either, he just confided in me recently. He's like so embarrassed he wasted money on a clinic. Now he's worried he may have actually damaged his natural IGF levels by being on for so long. He's off the GH now btw.
Anybody experince this, know someone like this. Do you ask yourself is GH a life threating drug that I can't live without?
The reason I asked is that I myself feel like Jay on this. I was on for about 6 months on 2 iu then worked up to 4 IU before I ran out of insurance in September. Now I'm trying to get new insurnace to cover the cost.
It's expensive and some just don't react to it. Then you have to ask yourself what excactly are you looking for the GH to do for you. I myself had low levels and was excited I could get a script but then I'm waiting on the insurnace company and I'm saying even though I know I feel better on 4 IU, because at 2 I didnt' feel a thing. I sleep a whole lot better. I actually have better workouts. Even my wife can't irk me In the end do the means justify the cost? Also I'm married to an accountant, so she flipped at the price. But hey if insurace covers it then we will get along just fine again.
So while some are looking to acheive a certain look, I look at it as a necestiy for me. But its not a life threating drug. In the back of my mind I want the LBM more that the sleep and mood. Which could be obtained cheaper and quicker with some tren or clen .
I do know that when I was walking and dieting down the gh made a huge diffrence.
But I don't think its worth the money unless you can get it dirt cheap and its reliable quality.Last edited by kaorialfred; 01-22-2006 at 08:43 PM.

These last 2 comments are completely irrelevant to the topic of discussion. I know what you're saying about money .vs. effectivness b/c the title is touching briefly on that. But overall the worth of GH based on the individual is completely worth it. Like I said, BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL..............

I think the problem is also that people expect to much from GH, they think it is some majic drug that will fix all genetic deficiencies.
I think this stems from the fact that pro bodybuilders where amongst the first to use it as it was expensive and they where the only ones able to afford it, this brought about the belief among amateurs that GH was awonder drug and thats why the pros where so much betterthan they where when in realiity it was down more to genetic gifts and the extreme dedication of the pros.
Bodybulders awways find it hard to admit that there genetics will not allow them to look like someone else, so will convince themselve that that person knows something are is doing something that they know nothing about.
GH is an effective drug when used at a high enough dose for long enough,and combined with other drugs eg AAS, insulin , t3. But it will not work miracles are cure genetic shortcomings.

HGH isn't the holy grail of BBing, you get the best result when it's stacked with slin and the increase of results of from the slin. I've seen more then one person say that for the money slin without the HGH is a better investment.
If you're under 30 or 35 I would waste my money on HGH

i'm 27 nd run several cycles of Test,Deca , Tren , D-bol Anadrol 50, Igh lr3, HGH, SLIN. Fina, and a few more i cant think of o=ff the top off my head and i think that 6-8months on GH defanatly helps u keep your gains and reduce fat.
-Personally i'v done about 700 ius at 5ius a day. I just started 10ius 4on/4off
now when i come off my aas cycle the Gh really helps me keep my gains.
My buddy used d-bols and Test and gain about 25pounds in 8weeks When he come off he lost over 20lbs, I was on a little heavier stack and when I came off about the same time and still used the gh at 5ius a da 5on 2off then. I only lost 8 of my 21pounds gainedin 10 weeks????
- As far as the money if u cant afford at least a year at 5ius for 5on/2off dont bother wasting your time. Personally i plan on runnin Gh for as long as i can, that seems to be a good while.
Good lifting

Another good example is winstrol .Run 50 mgs ED of winny and you'll get very meager results.BUT run 150 mgs ED and you'll see your physique take on a quality look you wouldn't think you'd be able to achieve running a mild androgen like winny.
For you young guys out there.Please don't buy into the over 30 nonsense.You can get wonderful results running HGH,but you need to run the proper dose though.If you are considering running 5-6 iu's then I'd say it's a waste(except for fat loss and a few other things like increased recovery).I know several younger guys(mid 20's) that run higher dose HGH and have taken on a physique they wouldn't have had otherwise without HGH.I see these guys on a daily basis in my gym.I've watched their transformation first hand.IMPRESSIVE!!

Fantastic point about winny,at a decent dose it`s a true muscle builder,a pure anabolic.I've often made that same point, but it's amazing how many people don't "get" it. The weaker drugs, like Winstrol and primo, build the most muscle.Winstrol is a very potent tissue-building drug in the truest sense!
This is why I`m running primo at 3g at the moment,people think it`s weak because it doesn't produce water weight,, when it's actually very strong.People should be using the finer, sophisticated drugs like Primo and Winstrol, not cypionates and the veterinarian products. It's so absurd!

Remember he's not in the states. Certain people have access to compounds that are in their backyard that we pay big bucks after being shipped in.
Back to the subject on hand. I am 25 and have used GH many many of times. As Pinn stated I didnt such much on the end of LBM at doses under 4iu. Thats why this time around I"m going to run 10iu EOD. Both a new method and higher dose in my case.
As Goose stated Primo is amazing at high doses. My reasoning for people not liking it is b/c of either not running a high enough dose or expecting too much as far as scale weight. I HATE scale weight!! All it is is how much gravity is pulling you the center of the earth. WHOOPIE!!!!! BF% referenced to scale weight is what's important. LBM over Fat, not what number is listed on the scale every morning when you weight yourselves.
Sorry guys had to get that out. BUMP for more opinions on GH and it's effectiveness...............Last edited by SPIKE; 01-29-2006 at 02:58 PM.

I use GH for anti-aging/overall feeling good component.
currently running 4iu a day.
I am 40 and the last 5 months has been some of the most stressful time in my business life and I am handling it better then ever. I sleep better for sure and I require less sleep. My hair is fuller too.
For fatloos or lbm I have not seen much at 2 or 4iu.
But for my useage I think its worth every penny.

id be curious to hear about more on this too- and the winny/primo topic certainly got my interests...b/c in my summer cycle i am thinking of adding something different, maybe primo, maybe gh (dont want to do slin though if i dont have too with gh, stuff really worries me, wonder if hgh with just AAS can be very effective without slin on top of it)

I understand wanted to clarify a bit. My curioustity is more or less this:
Has anyone ran simple stacks and obtained those awsome results. Just seems you can get there but you have to have more than 2 compounds to do it. Then I just wonder if the High dose of HGH is dependent upon the others, which I think is what many guys are stuck on. Its one thing that its expensive! But then you have to run it in high amounts and also use some other coupounds with it. Also I respect and read your post, and you give good advice here. I'm still looking for pictures of the so called awsome fat burning effects of HGH. We keep hearing so much about what dose does what 4iu or 15 iu but never any pict to back up the claim of HGH. Now guys are quoted saying High dose but I don't see pics. I just would love to see some of these before and after High dose or long runs of HGH.

I just haven't seen a good photo of a before and after type situation. Now diet and exercise photos their are plenty of those, it just makes me curious why would some non pro newbie would buy into the whole GH stuff. Me, I'm on HRT/TRT and have been for sometime now. I know the GH is helping but I would lean more towards my cardio, but then again I would have to suspect its the gh just by reading post in the GH forum. That's more my own personal concern.Pinn I admire the people you hang with pushing it, and going for it on stage. No doubt I respect their right to privacy too.
