Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Ali M

Thought i'd start a thread on this, as i think it would be interesting to debate. As most of the regulars on here know that im using HGH and other AAS. Question - are the gains (if any) from GH worth the expense? Do we really know how effective GH is, as we all seem to take it with AAS, Example, i started my stack and im a good stone up, now that is obviously due to the AAS, so it's hard to judge if the GH has been effective and worth the expense. Now im thinking of staying on it for say 6 mths. So when i finnish my stack in 3 weeks ill just carry on with the GH. What are your thoughts on this.

GH is suppose to grow more muscle fibers, true? it's suppose to help you loose fat? but how do we really know this as we all will do lots of running and that to help burn fat so it's hard to monitor the benfit of GH...

LeeB i know your thinking of GH mate and your input here would be benefial mate..

Hi Mate

Personally If i could afford it I would run alongside gear, especially thro cutting phases. Long term usage should be avoided IMO due to joint pain and carpul tunnel syndrome. IMO you would be better using IGF its cheaper and is a metabolite of GH thro the liver, and will stimulate more muscle cell production.
Yes KittyKat it is a banned substance but not detectable as far as i know,

from what i know GH is again one of those things which is kind of suck it and see... some people get amazing results... some the results just arent worth the outlay...

i have used it once before.. for about 3 weeks before my first show... on the advice of someone who didnt really know what he was talking about.... i got slight results but nothing worth the money i had spent and in terms of diet nothing more than a couple of extra weeks dietin wouldnt have achieved!

i personally cant understand why people who dont compete spend so much money on it.. maybe im just a tight ass...

ive heard of people taking massive doses.... and rumours that pros take massive amounts of it... however i have yet to come accross a high level bodybuilder who hasnt surprised me with how little of it they actually use....

the general consensus of people i have spoken to about it feel that the results come after long peroids of use... however i do know people who have had quite fast results...

GH is a prescribed treatment for under developed children... so in the medical world it MUST work!

i think the problem is that many people seem to think that it is some kind of "miracle" drug that many cant afford and this is why people look great and they dont... when in reality if your not training hard and eating right then using GH isnt really going to do much for you anyways!

do they make a big diff to gains then? (just curious, no intention of using it myself!)

Hi KittyKat,

As with most other drugs, Steroids & HGH are controlled substances and I beleive they are only available legally in the UK under prescription for specific debilitating conditions or as part of a clinical trial.

HGH isn't the same as roids (in that ubuprofen and asprin aren't the same drug) but both are used in order to try and make the body builder bigger and stronger (just as both the above analgesics are used for pain relief).

Hope that answers your question.

I'd be interested to see which provides the most value/size for money...

GH is/was used massively back in the 80's in order to quickly bulk up cows - I beleive it was added to their feed.

Sadly the GH they were using wasn't synthesised, and was taken from Cadavers... Which created the whole CJD (Mad Cow Disease) issue...

GH is now synthesised and the CJD causing part has been removed.

Doctors now believe that test produces better and safer results - by and large the underdeveloped children were just late starters.
