why does it take so long for hgh to kick in fully?

a good dosage for muscle growth is 5-6 iu, keep in mind that because your younger your going to need more GH to make a bang, your natural levels are higher than say someone who is 40

ok great i wanna do 8 iu a day with a schedule of 5 days on 2 off but i think thats a little excessive for an 18 year old when i probably shouldnt even be taking it in the first place. i appreaciate the input and thanks for not being like everyone else. i dont know why everyones freaking out about what i posted about ronnie it was just a simple joke..i thought it was funny but i guess no one else did..obviously its a bs story but i was just making the point the guy is a poster child for growth and insulin abuse

Well I can understand that, but in 90% of competitve bodybuilders minds, hes a poster child for Mr. Olympia and "Big mother****er" so I'm sure what he did/is doing is worth it to him. 8 iu's is not excessive for an 18 yr old, if your stats really are 275 lbs at 9 % bodyfat

you need to read more about GH, and look at some other threads on here about it. No, you never want to to start at 8iu, you need to ramp up to that and it might take 2 or 3 months to get to that before you can handle the side effects from it, such as lethargy, numb hands, glycemic shifts in your blood, etc etc. 4 iu/day is usually a decent starting point, although some need to start at even 2 or 3iu.

When your using 8 its generally a good idea to split the dosages, yes, anything over 6 I'd split. 5 on/2 off is good, u dont need to run it all 7 days straight. Start reading other threads and not just this one b/ I doubt you'll get all ur answers from this alone

5 is way too young to start bro.
sorry, I couldn't resist. I thought you were a troll till I realized your sense of humor was as dry as mine. I prefer starting at 2iu and ramping up from there, 5 is a bit high to start for my taste. I would also be splitting 5 or above into 2 shots per day.

haha yeah i probably shouldnt have started lower but i havent noticed any sides i dont think except what feels like a very profound tiredness..its weird

I'm 25 and started with 4iu's/day 7 days a week out the gate..... my knuckleds are retaining water and it's making them feel stiff. I get some headaches and my knees are always tired.....

On the plus side..... My muscles feel full all the time. I can't wait to start ramping the dosage up!
