Upping my hgh dose. Personal experiences pls

**russiandave** · 06-16-2010, 07:25 PM

Hey guys so I have been on hgh for about six months now at 5iu five days a week. So far so good. I have recently been reading up on upping my dosage.

From what I have read 10iu daily is where people start to warn about irreversible sides. at about 8iu people have stated it was ok.

I suppose my question is has anyone gone from 5iu to 8iu and what are your thoughts on it.

Btw at the end of my aas cycle which can be viewed in my other thread. Sorry I'm posting from my iPhone so I'll cut n paste the link later

I've been on 5iu/ed for a couple of years and still getting really good results. I was on 10iu/ed for about 3 months. I got more anabolic but the sides were terrible. As for irreversible sides. You mean the pronounced brow, broad jaw line, fat fingers, and generally looking like "Jaws" in 007? That's due to a disease in the pituitary. 10iu/ed won't make you look like "jaws". Pro BB's are using upto 20iu/ed. In my personal opinion 10iu/ed should be used for a period and drop back down to 5iu/ed for maintenance. HGH is an expensive way to gain muscle. If you take 5iu/ed and combine that with an AAS cycle you'll get great results.

What did you see resultwise when jumping from five iu to ten.

And yup I just finished a test var hgh cycle and love the results.

Aas is way quicker in mass building vs hgh

I think you should always use minimum doses and only increase the dose if something is missing or if gains are beginning to seem unsatisfactory. As you said yourself "so far so good" and if that's the case then I think you should continue doing what you have been without modifying anything. As they say, don't try and fix something that doesn't need fixing

If you would like to up the dose for the sake of experience to see what happens, or to increase gains then I suggest you increase the dose slowly and see where that takes you.

As for irreversible side effects, this all depends on the user so it's something you won't know till you try. But generally the more you take the more chance you have of experiencing serious sides. Also, its not only higher doses that seem to create these nasty side effects, long term use certainly has a lot to do with it as well.

Cycling 5IU daily can be a totally different ball game to cycling 8IU, but once again this can also depend on the user. I know I got much better gains at 8IU than 5IU but the sides were much worse as ScotchGurad mentioned.

As much as I've read about HGH, how it works and how it has effected others, I have always consumed these answers as a guideline. It's difficult to give you an accurate answer because everybody is different. Taking drugs is always about trial and error till you discover what effects certain doses deliver.

What about enlarged heart, tumor growth and your thyroid? Theres other sides to GH besides bone growth.

At five 5ius my hands hurt....sometimes so bad I can't grip the bar when I do bent over rows and some other exercises. I think a 3iu jump is to much.

I basically started w five iu daily. The hand numbness/aches passed about a month ago. I don't mind the sides. I just don't know what to expect as far as results from the iu jump.

I'm just gonna do it and see how my body reacts.

in the diet section I asked about planning a routine to pin twice in the morning and how to eat and pwo during that time

also. Has anyone ever seen before and after pics of someone who used only high doses of hgh?

personally, ive just found out that 3.5iu/day is my limit. i bumped up to 5iu/day awhile ago. i got bursitis in my shoulder so bad, that i couldnt even use it. at the time i didnt know it was the GH, and just thought it was coincidence. but i backed down to 2.5iu/day, and my shoulders cleared up within a week. i ramped back up slowly, and when i got to 4iu/day, my shoulders started getting really sore again after about a week.

i decided to take a week off GH all together, its been 3 days now. my shoulders feel a lot better already, and im not like a walking zombie anymore. at 4iu and above, it took everything i had, to drag my ass out of bed after sleeping for 12 hours. now i can get up after 7 hours sleep, and feel pretty good. after a week off, ill start at 2iu again, and work up to 3.3iu, then stay there.

I am also very happy a 5iu, I have gotten off a long AAS cycle and only lost 2 pounds (Still on HGH). I got off that cycle 7 weeks ago (more or less) and didn't lose any muscle really, I can honestly say that the HGH helped me recover from my cycle very well and I am now gainning size again... I love this stuff and was thinking about climbing up to 8iu like RussianDave but Gear has a point.
