Im looking to use HGH for weight/muscle gains more than anything, fat loss isnt that big an issue, i stay lean all year round... What should i expect in terms of weight gain if i did a 6 month cycle... Was thinking running it at 4iu's... Am i right in thinking your muscles to some extent feel/look pumped all day with HGH ?
Your muscle mass gains will be much better if you add a AAS cycle while you're running your GH.
-Gear
I dont think you will get what you are looking for from 4 IU's dude. All I got was fat loss. You will need much higher doses and that will be expensive. AAS is a much better option
Yes i do AAS cycles... but looking to try HGH, thought i would see some muscle/weight gains from it... how long should i be taking the HGH before i do a AAS cycle to see the full effects of growth with gear... and are gains substancially better with HGH and AAS as a posed to just AAS alone ?
At 4ius you will not see any muscle/weight gain, at that dose fat loss and condition, you will have to run it higher with AAS to see weight gain/muscle
if you plan to incorporate hgh with your aas cycle...IMO start hgh generally about 10-12 weeks prior, run during cycle and pct, and another 10 weeks after if you can afford it.Quote:

Im shocked i thought HGH gave some muscle gains altho i no there not huge, i half expected gains of atleast 4-6 lbs in weight over 6 months with HGH
your first run on igf at 100mcg is high IMO
you might want to read this thread
http://forums.steroid.com/igf-1-lr3-hgh-insulin-questions/281959-just-read-about-igf-1-a.html
along with several other studies that can be found on this board and other sites
i now take less than half of that dose
I don't really see you putting on much wieght... actually you may stay the same weight... most likely though, you will look and feel the best you ever have... so i say do it!
I like the sound of that, what do you mean when you say look and feel the best ? why is that ? do your muscles allways look full or pumped when on HGH?Quote:

GH is very sublte. It gives you a quality look, i.e. leaner while retaining and maybe gaining a LITTLE muscle. If you are looking for nticable gains then either save a lot of cash and run high dose gh or invest in more AS.
GH is considered by many a wonder drug due to its many benefits - slight muscle gain,lower bodyfat, feeling of well being, better sleep, good for tendon repair and injuries.
IMO, i would split up those vials over a 2 day span for 50mcg dosing and see how that goes...Quote:

What would you consider as a high dose of HGH? how long would you run the dose high for and what would the results be ?
When taking GH it depends on (the quality) of Gh. I would start outQuote:

lower dosage.
If you want to run HGH for muscle gains the protocol in the literature is about 0.17IU/kg-d, so if you are 220 pounds (I am always amazed how no one bothers to mention their weight when asking about a weight-dosed substance like HGH) that would be 17IU/day for 28 days. That should be good for about 7-9 pounds LBM with no fat gain.
Vermin are you suggesting that he take 17 IU per day?
For all I know he weighs 20KG so I am not suggesting anything so specific.Quote:

Healy's protocol is 0.067mg/k-d for 28 days, which runs to about 17IU/day for 28 days for a 100KG (220 pound) human. While this is expensive, and sure to be difficult to endure sides-wise I am unaware of any other way to gain an average of 6% LBM in one month, particularly without any reported diet or training changes being required and without any fat gain. And as a bonus, this study was of athletes so it is more likely to hold true for the audience of this forum.
Now that is very interesting....Quote:

and how many IU's is 0.067mg's ?
if 1mg = 2.7iu then...
0.067mg = 0.18 iu
its called math.
- Is this true ? If so does anyone have the study ?Quote:

17IUs a day ... woo hoooo ... betcha you'd get facial changes like needbigguns' avatar, at that dose ... :haha:Quote:

Does anyone have any more info on this in regards to HGH for weight gain ? What about blast cycling say like 24iu's all at once of the week ? does this work for weight gains to some extent or is blast cycling better for cutting ?Quote:

-rodge
I dont think im ready for slin... seams a little TOO hardcore for my liking... the risk of potentially dying or becoming comatosed for a few extra Lbs just dosent seam worth it to me allthough for bodybuilding pourposes i wish i had the balls and knowledge to run it... just my 2 cents... So no Slin is not an option for me... but t3 or t4 i would try... but arnt they used just for cutting ? its mass that i want really (without slin!)
