GH for competition

[monster_mass]

Ive been told not to use GH 3 weeks out to competition because it causes water retention. But ive also heard that GH can be used until day before competition to minimize muscle loss from dieting.

Which is correct?

I've only heard of water retention with high doses, so if your dose is reasonable there shouldn't be a problem.

Any thing over that is getting up there.

i believe i read that palumbo recomended dropping gh 2-3 weeks out from the day of the show but jumping back on 2-3 days before to prevent any catabolism and to help "fill back up"
he also advocates low doses 2-4 iu /day and even lower doses for younger folk (1-2iu)
