GH for a young one...

[Juicemonkey101]

Okay now, I realize i'm probably setting myself up to get Flamed here, but take into consideration this is a very real possiblity for me..... So be real with me here....

I'm strongly considering, starting June 1st, Running Growth for 4-5 months at 2iu's on Mon, Wends, Fri. The reason for such a low dose is i am only 20 years old. I started in this game way too young, a big mistake, but now, i have done quite the AS in the 3 years i've been jucing. I'm not saying that justifys doing GH, but its something i want to do.

I know the younger you are, the lower your dose can be because of growth plates being fused. Now guys, just honest anwsers and please, dont flame me to death!

why are you going to take growth hormone?

[Juicemonkey101]

I cant readily get it, and for a damn good price too. Its just too tempting to me! That is a vauge question though, you could say that with just about any AS.

That would be CAN. My bad.

[rude]

do you want it to grow taller in height? cuz you said you started young with as?

[Juicemonkey101]

Wouldn't mind it.... I'm 5'9 , most of my family is 6ft+. I imagine i probably stunted my growth by starting so young. honeslty though, i just love the Growth look and have the money to do it.... its tempting as hell!

[rude]

yea, I bet its very tempting, I probably would want to try it and im a newbie I hope you get a lot of posts cuz its an interesting subject

Hey Juice M........ I've been exactly where your training mind set is today. If you do your research (off the bodybuilding boards) and in the library, you should realize it's really not worth it......... If your healthy, your IGF 1 levels should be fine......... Will gh make much of a difference? Probably not. Stick to good, solid training, lots of good eating and an intelligent hormone program and you'll keep progressing.

Juice,

I'll second champ on this.

My basic philosophy on almost everything in life is to first consider the downside. So, what's the downside to you doing this. Best guess, ( because you never really know ) is that doing what you want will not hurt you.

Now to the upside. Like champ said, for your age, and if you did extensive research, at 2 iu's day, probably not much. Yet, again you don't really know until you do it.

Suggestion would be to do research and run it with and androgen for best results if you decide to do it.

Overall might not be the most optimal thing to do, yet, the downside is probably low, so...good luck

Hoped That Helped

I appreciate the replys. Just like you said Trip, 2iu's 3x a week might not do jack shit, but then on the other hand, it might do a lot. thats were i begin to get concerned. I'm leaning more towards just doing 2 iu's Mon-Fri. Thats still not much more, but again with my age, i'm hoping it would be suffcient.

And to Champ, I agree with you, Homework just outside of Boards is whats going to optimaly make the differnce with my decision to use GH. Though i can't imagine it could be any worse doing GH at my age then it is for me to run AS for 7 months straight... Which i have done.... Or is it?

[TheChamp]

Jm........... No, I don't believe using GH would be dangerous or risky, in general, however, I was refering to the benifits of it's use to you. If you're healthy, I don't believe you would benifit much from it at this time. On the other hand, if you use hormones correctly you can benifit greatly depending on your work and commitment.

Juice,

Apologize for a second. Didn't read correctly first time.

Doing it 3 x's a week is not smart IMHO. It needs to be done at least 5-6 days a week. GH needs to be done CONSITENTLY.

The whole theory is to double or triple your GH production and keep it their. The first step, doubling, typically takes 4-8 weeks, and then the key is to keep it their. Which, by the way, at a young age and if you are in the healthy normal to high range is harder than an older man, or GH deficient human.

So, if you do decide to do it, suggestion would be 6-1 or 5-2, otherwise most likely an act of futility and you'd be giving your body very erratic hormnal signals, which the body always fights.
The body craves and desires consistency.

good luck

Thanks for the insight. I realize that was a pretty unorthodox way of running GH.... I had a buddy do it with great success was the only reason i was considering it... The only reason i am planning on doing 2iu's 5x a week is strictly because i am very young and worried about not doing long term damange..... but, the more i begin to read, I'm getting the feeling i might just do the "standard" GH schedule of 4 iu's 5-6x weekly.... Whats your opinon on this?

[trip]

Juice,

The only way to really tell if the plan is working is to get your IGF-1 levels tested. First test takes 2 hours and probably runs 2 to 250. After that it's test standard blood draw.

And seeing how 95% of BB'rs don't go this route, almost all info is opinion not fact based.

I ran 7 months at 2 iu a day, with testing.

So, even for you IMHO 2 iu should be fine. Over time you should start to notice it working. You should recover quicker, have more energy longer throughout the day, sleep a little better.

If you don't start to see some of these results in 6 weeks, then up it to 4iu.

Beware, some folks don't react well to GH. Two worst sides are lethargy, which has to do with insulin sensitivity, which a low dose of T-3 handles, and then the other side is some folks have a negative reaction to it. Their bodies reject the invasion and they get sick. Which can happen with any med. Note, this is rare and happens to few folks, yet if it does, it's hell.

Surpising to hear about your buddy. And good for him. Could you "describe" his success?

It possibly could be true. If you take into account that IGF-1 levels run 100 to 400. 100 low, 400 high. Perhaps with his dosing schedule if his natural GH was a 400 and he got it up to 600 that could be reason for great results. Which even though it's a 50% bump, it's still a big jump for the body.

I remeber reading somewhere Dave Palumbo stating hes seen the best results on GH in those whose growth plates havent closed. Run it at least 5 days a week. I would think 2ius 5 days a week is the least amount you should run to see much of anything.
