1. So, my first question: Let's say, for example, I would run HGH for 1 year (I don't want to, for now, run HGH long term, mostly because of the cost). In that 1 year period, let's assume I would run 2 AAS cycles, after which I came off those cycles, I would theoretically maintain almost all of my gains. Now, skip forward to 2 years from now when I'm no longer running HGH......I run another AAS cycle.....would I still be able to maintain all the gains from this cycle even though I'm no longer on HGH? In other words, since my body had a hyperplasia effect from running HGH for that one year, would my body be able to hold on to the newly acquired muscle still even though I'm no longer taking HGH, or would I need to stay on HGH in order to do that? Hope this question makes sense. This question/theory is assuming training/diet stayed in check throughout and proper PCT protocols were utilized after each cycle. It's also assuming that I am beyond my ORIGINAL genetic limit (limit before the use of HGH). What you'll hang onto is more dependent on your diet and training over the HGH usage. After having said that, I have noticed that I've retained more or my gains after cycle. HGH is great at helping maintain gains. I've been on HGH continuously for going on 7 years. It's really terrific stuff.
2. My other question is: Would you only buy pharmaceutical grade HGH even if you had a reputable source with good feedback for generic? Since it's so expensive already, and I'm only planning, for now, to run it for a year at most, I want to do it right. But if the generic serum tests are testing right up there in the pharma grade range, would you consider the generic HGH if it were to save you almost a couple thousand dollars? I'm on the fence with this.
Most of the responses you'll back is that generic is crap and not worth your money. I took pharma and generic and there is a difference. The benefits I get with 2iu or 3iu of the pharma I have to match with 5iu+ with generic. Then again generic is just so much cheaper. I take generic now and am happy with it.
Thanks guys, and let me know if I need to explain the first question better.
