Like the title says, this test I've done to test my bluetops is not very scientific but very empirical. I decided to do this test because there is a general feeling in the forum that ALL generics are crap. Let me give my results and conclusion. I'm trying to state my opinion regarding bluetops but at least provide some data, even through it's not a clinical trial.
PURPOSE:
I have been on HGH (generic bluetops) for 4 years. A year prior to that I was on pharma for a year. In total, I've been on HGH for five years. There has been so much talk about the "crap" HGH coming out of China I wanted to see if my generic Chinese bluetops were crap. I personally think that taking HGH and taking a blood test is only one dot on a data graph. If the affect of HGH is to measured there should be one controlled test with blood drawn at the same time every day for a month without the use of any HGH. Then the exact same test should be done with HGH. I'm not satisfied that taking HGH once and taking blood confirms that the HGH is "good". That one single vial may be good but still does not prove that the HGH kit (100iu) or HGH kits (100+iu) are all good. I wanted to measure the affect of HGH over time. I wanted to measure what most people see which is the outside of the body and bodyfat measured with the calipers.
ASSUMPTIONS:
1. Since I've been on Chinese generic HGH for four years I make the assumption that my body was fully saturated with HGH.
2. My work schedule doesn't allow me to eat perfectly everyday. Therefore, I'm going to control my diet that the average of my eating over 10 weeks prior to the experiment and during the experiment will be somewhat the same.
RESULTS:
Stats at time equal zero weeks
Age: 52
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 205 lbs
Body Fat: 11%
HGH: Generic Bluetops 5iu/ed
HGH duration: Been on consistently for 5 years
Current Cycle: 150mg/wk Test Cyp (TRT)
Diet: Good but not perfect. Diet was consistent throughout the test.
1. Take body measurements prior to the start of the experiment (caliper).
Tricep 4
Bicep 2
Subscapula 6
Waist 2
2. Take strength measurements before start of the experiment.
Flat Bench 225lbs test 35 reps (rep 225 lbs as many times as possible in one set)
Flat Bench 225lbs x 225 reps in 40 minutes
Stats at time equals 10 weeks
Age: 52
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 209 lbs
Body Fat: 16%
HGH: None
Current Cycle: 150mg/wk Test Cyp (TRT)
Diet: Good but not perfect. Diet was consistent throughout the test.
1. Take body measurements 10 weeks into the experiment (caliper) with no HGH.
Tricep 8
Bicep 4
Subscapula 8
Waist 6
2. Take strength measurements before start of the experiment.
Flat Bench 225lbs test 25 reps (rep 225 lbs as many times as possible in one set)
Flat Bench 225lbs x 150 reps in 40 minutes
CONCLUSION:
1. I gained more belly fat. It was a noticeable difference after 4 weeks. I went on Clen at week 8 but the belly fat loss was minimal as compared to clen + HGH.
2. I lost strength. My 1RM was about 400 lbs with HGH. It is currently about 355 lbs with no HGH.
3. I lost endurance. My best one set max 225 lb test was 35 reps. Without HGH it was 25 reps. My 40 minute flat bench went from 225 reps to 150 reps.
4. Subjective comment - I just don't feel as strong and I tire easily as compared to having HGH in the system.
5. I firmly believe that the Chinese bluetop HGH is helping me maintain bodyfat, increase strength, and increase endurance.
Comments welcomed. Thanks
