First GH Cycle Log

[XLCanadian]

how bout the body fat--i see ur up 13lbs

any change to diet since starting--how did u get that 13lbs---is it muscle?

I can honestly say I have not been dieting to lean out yet.

My calories are high and especially after starting the AAS I am hungry all the time. Sometimes even an hour after I eat.

As for bodyfat I haven't had it tested in awhile. But I can say that using the "mirror test" I look as lean or leaner than before I started the GH. If anything else is a factor I know my waistline is the same size as it was at 196lbs.

I am not gonna rip the cardio too hard til april and my diet is gradually cleaning up as I go. My goal here was to gain some lean mass after coming back from injury, but I don't want to shock my body and put on this 13lbs only to lose 20lbs if you know what I mean.

Last year I dieted early and was in single digits bf% by May. I'm gonna try and make that June this year.

So hopefully I can put on another 5-10lbs of clean mass before I start dieting down. Dieting down from 214-220 start weight would mean I can probably finish somewhere around 202-205 and be at about 8-10 % bf.

The good thing about the gh and tren -A is I can still be putting on muscle while my fat decreases. So my end result estimations could be way off.

I also plan to cut the Tren after 8 weeks and throw some winny in for 4 weeks at 100mg's ED. So we shall see how that goes for me.

**Plan is to run GH by itself for first 8 weeks. Then jump onto an AAS cycle and continue the GH for a 6 month to 1 year period.

Week 1: 2iu's/day

- Started with some occassional headaches.
- Wake up feeling refreshed.
- Some injection site irritation.
- Minimal joint pain.

Week 2: 3iu's/day
(Weight: 197lbs)

- Decided to ramp up dosage.
- Headaches increased at start of week, but then subsided.
- Wake up feeling refreshed.
- Some injection site irritation. Looks like hives. I believe its when I don't get the pin deep enough and the GH is irritating one of the bottom layers of skin, as the irritation is maybe in 30% of my sub-Q injections.
- Some bloat is occuring.
- Minimal joint pain.

Week 3: 4iu's/day
(Weight: 198.5 lbs)

- Headaches continued. But are less frequent. Dull ache in back of head.
- Always wake up well rested.
- Injection site irritation is subsiding almost completely. Definitely to do with depth of injections.
- More bloat as I retain water.
- Joint pain is restricted to ankles, wrists and elbows.

Week 4: 4iu's/day
(Weight: 200 lbs)

- No more headaches!!!
- Wake up feeling like a champ!
- Injection site irritation is maybe 10% of the time or less.
- Bloat is going away.
- Joint Pain is occuring sporadically. Comes and goes in different places. Ankles, hands, wrist, elbows, knees, shoulders, neck.

Week 5: 4iu's/day
(Weight: 202 lbs)

- headaches and joint pain are about it....no more injection site irritation.
- had to slow up on the gym this week due to knee pain and elbow pain and have a business trip cutting my week off too. come back and hit it hard next week.
- don't know if i'm bloated or just a chubby b*tch....lol


Week 6: 4iu's/day
(Weight 203.5lbs)

- Business trip end of last week / beginning of this week facked things up a bit...but came back strong.
- noticed some numbness in my hands and some joint pain as well. Headaches once in a while but they are short.
- Feeling strong as hell. Getting amazing pumps in the gym.


Week 7: 4iu's/day
(Weight: 203 lbs)

- Weight gain stopped...may have to do with my business trip messing the diet/training up, etc.
- Headaches are few and far between. Just when I get pissed at my broad..lol.

Week 8: 4iu's/day

- Started my AAS cycle as well (100mgs prop EOD, 75 mgs Tren -A EOD)
- Feeling great, other than the AAS injections hurt like a bitch.....damn its been awhile

Week 11: 5iu's/day
(Weight: 209lbs)

- Joint pain still here. Comes and goes but usually in the mornings and on my drive to work is when I feel the joint paint in the wrists and hands most.
- Also, noticing I am looking a bit distended. No fat put on the abdominal area, just that bloated feeling. May have to do with diet, but could also be combo of GH and AAS.

[XLCanadian]

You've been adding a lot of weight. How's the body fat in comparison to the 15% you started with?

I'd say same or less. Havent's had it tested since. But veins are out fully in the arms, chest, shoulders. Any real body fat seems to be almost solely in the "spare tire" area. But now its all diet and cardio thats gonna remove that stuff.

[boxin23]

Hey awesome log. I have been on HGH since feb. and I'm confused about something. I have always had some joint pain here and there from boxing and motorcycle crashes and football and ....life. Anyway the joint pains I had are ALL 100% gone now. I pin 3.3 IU's a day ED. I don't understand the joint pain in your log. I know the stuff I'm on is really high quality. I am prone to male pattern baldness and have the short hair look going on and i actually have hair coming back in places on my head it hasn't been in years! Any way if you could let me know about the joint pain thing that would be awesome. Really good log. Later.
