\n[sc:masthead-std]
\n[sc:salutation-std]HGH is one of the most controversial and misunderstood compounds in the bodybuilder\u2019s anabolic arsenal.\u00a0\u00a0 It can also be the one with the most potential toward building muscle beyond ones genetic limits.<\/p>\n

HGH in its natural state is produced by the anterior pituitary gland.\u00a0 The most concentrated levels occur during deep sleep but it is also released in short intervals when under intense physical strain. This is why sufficient sleep and heavy compound movements such as squats are so important to overall growth.\u00a0 Increased growth hormone makes EVERYTHING grow.<\/p>\n

Stress or long duration of low-level activity will lower natural HGH output. (Which is why excessive cardio training may suppress optimum muscle growth).\u00a0 It\u2019s highest output takes place during adolescence \u2013 roughly between the ages of 6 and 17 \u2013 the period where most bone growth takes place, after which, it slows down incrementally.<\/p>\n

If HGH release is low, during the years of puberty one may experience stunted growth or in severe cases, dwarfism.\u00a0 In rare cases of excessive output, it will cause gigantism \u2013 a condition where excessive growth is experienced.\u00a0 Though it may sound appealing to be bigger than everyone else, the increased size is usually not particularly aesthetic.\u00a0 (Random body-parts are out of proportion)\u00a0 People who are afflicted with this condition also tend to have shortened lives due either to the excess IGF creating tumors or from the strain on the heart to support the excess size.\u00a0 If nothing else though, it shows the power of HGH.<\/p>\n

\"HGHThe medical use of exogenous HGH to combat dwarfism started in the 1960\u2019s \u2013 using the HGH from cadavers.\u00a0 This early (and ghoulish) form of administration proved effective but carried contraindications including the risk of disease, brain damage and\u00a0 cancer \u2013 thought to possibly be transmitted from the deceased person from where it came.\u00a0\u00a0 It was replaced by a synthetic version, which contained the identical molecular structure and amino acid chain.\u00a0 It soon became the standard for medical purposes and it didn\u2019t take long for the bodybuilding community to take notice.\u00a0 After all, it causes growth.\u00a0 And that\u2019s what bodybuilders what to do \u2013 GROW!<\/p>\n

HGH was originaly used by competitive bodybuilders looking to get any advantage possible. Early chemical renegades and anabolic pioneers such as Dan Duchaine brought HGH to the consciousness of the regular \u201cgym rat\u201d who was equally willing to do whatever it took to improve his muscularity.\u00a0 Concurrent with these events was a media blitz promoting the health benefits of its use for the elderly.\u00a0 After the age of 60 or so, HGH production stops and the ravages of aging increase rapidly.\u00a0 Skin loses its elasticity and functions of the cardiovascular system deteriorate due to a drop in HGH Supplemental HGH seemed like the logical solution.\u00a0 But it didn\u2019t always pan out as quite the miracle drug it was proposed to be \u2013 either as an anti aging agent or a bodybuilding aid.\u00a0\u00a0 But the main reason was in the application.<\/p>\n

We now know that HGH can do amazing things.\u00a0 It greatly increases the effects of steroids as well as having a fat burning effect \u2013 though unlike that of steroids or stimulants.\u00a0 HGH utilizes carbohydrates very effectively and very quickly \u2013 much like that of a child (not surprisingly), which is why so many kids can eat tons of crap and never get fat.\u00a0 It also has the ability to regenerate cartilage \u2013 a significant advantage in regard to healing joint injuries.\u00a0 (Though too much can cause carpel tunnel syndrome).<\/p>\n

\"HGH\"HGH enhances the nitrogen retaining effects of steroids increasing the synthesis of muscle tissue. It \u2018s also believed that growth hormone cannot only increase the size of a muscle cells but may create new muscle cells. (Hyperplasia, not hypertrophy).<\/p>\n

HGH can even establish a more favorable HDL\/LDL ratio. There is also empirical evidence that HGH increases sex drive.<\/p>\n

Many bodybuilders use HGH to maintain muscle in-between cycles. By going off of steroids it allows the HPTA\u00a0 to recover (which also allows for greater gains the next time one cycles), yet the GH supports the muscle that\u2019s already been grown.\u00a0\u00a0 It has become very popular with sports figures due to the increase in endurance it provides.\u00a0 Another attractive quality is that it is\u00a0 undetectable with any drug-screening test.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the down side? Many of the concerns of its safety have been off base.\u00a0 It used to be said that HGH\u00a0 can cause elongated bones and an extended brow or an enlarged jaw, though there is no solid evidence of any of this.\u00a0 If HGH actually did cause bone growth it\u2019d be the most popular drug on the planet since it could give people an extra inch in height.\u00a0 But it does not.\u00a0 The accusation of the extended stomach of pro bodybuilders being the result of HGH is also mostly unfounded.\u00a0 It may have a slight effect, since it can enlarge organs in supra-physiological dosages but the larger stomachs of competing bodybuilders is more likely the result of the excessive calories (and insulin) needed to gain as much size as possible.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest drawbacks of HGH has been the fact that has not been readily available and therefore is very expensive. However, more UG labs are producing quality products equal to what you would get with a prescription.<\/p>\n

Water retention and thus high blood pressure is not uncommon.\u00a0 (Though interestingly, this does not occur in children).<\/p>\n

HGH can cause gyno, but it\u2019s interesting to note that there is no evidence of it increasing estrogen. It was thought the gyno related symptoms were due to the edema (fluid retention) but HGH is classified in a group of three hormones referred to as homologues hormones, made up of HGH, somatomammotropin and prolactin \u2013\u00a0 the later two of which are necessary for the purpose of lactation.\u00a0\u00a0 Why do men have these hormones when it isn\u2019t needed?\u00a0 That\u2019s uncertain. It could be due to the fact that all three hormones are necessary for fetal growth so it\u2019s an inherent part of our biological make up. Nevertheless, as many bodybuilders know, high levels of prolactin can cause what looks like gynocamastia, though technically gyno is a lump\u00a0 and prolactin induced \u201cgyno\u201d is a collection of fat and water (and milk) in the breast area.<\/p>\n

\"HGH\"Elevated HGH has also linked with some cancers \u2013 not that it necessarily causes it, but since it induces growth. There\u2019s a belief that many people keep tumors under control with their own natural immunity. The HGH however may spur the growth of the tumor.<\/p>\n

Since HGH helps burn carbs, hypoglycemic symptoms may occur in sensitive individuals.<\/p>\n

The use of insulin with HGH has become more commonplace.\u00a0 It makes sense \u2013 in theory. The addition of insulin helps to shuttle nutrients and makes the HGH more effective. It also becomes a precarious practice since it can cause severely low blood sugar levels.\u00a0 When using HGH, especially with insulin, sufficient carbs need to be ingested.\u00a0 An overdose of insulin can prove fatal.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s best to avoid.<\/p>\n

HGH is also, curiously, not particularly effective at increasing strength.\u00a0 Though it \u201cshould\u201d by all its indications, the numbers just don\u2019t pan out.\u00a0 Still, the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages but HGH is not something to be treated in a cavalier manner.\u00a0 It\u2019s potent, powerful and potentially dangerous.\u00a0 It is not recommended for beginners and it should be taken by anyone is not completely versed in its proper use.<\/p>\n

\"HGH is dispensed in the form of a lyophilized powder.\u00a0 It is then mixed with bacteriostatic water and injected subcutaneously.\u00a0 Any remaining solution needs to be refrigerated. It maintains potency up to 2 weeks.\u00a0 HGH is administered with an insulin pin.<\/p>\n

There is debate on the timing of HGH.\u00a0 Some like to use it when it would naturally be secreted \u2013 during exercise and at bedtime.\u00a0 Others feel it\u2019s more advantageous to use it when HGH is not normally released in an effort to get \u201cas much as possible.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s also believed that using it in this manner will cause less suppression of natural HGH output,\u00a0 though that is only conjecture.\u00a0 Some split the dosage, going with the presumption it\u2019s more of a steady release, others feel a single bigger shot has a more potent effect since that\u2019s how HGH is released throughout the day.\u00a0 The truth is, the actual timing may not matter much at all.\u00a0 Go with what you find most convenient and comfortable and you can even experiment along the way to find what works for you.\u00a0 There is no \u201cwrong\u201d time to time HGH other than it should never be taken when blood sugar levels are depressed.<\/p>\n

\"HGH\"There\u2019s also some discrepancy as to what is better\u00a0 -- daily or every other day injections.\u00a0 (EOD) For what it\u2019s worth, children experience greater growth on EOD administration. This may be due to the belief that GH has cycle of approximately 48 hours so the EOD route better replicates the natural pulsile frequency of our own GH secretion pattern.<\/p>\n

As with any drug, it\u2019s always best to start with a conservative dose.\u00a0 Beginners should use 2-4 i.u\u2019s every other day, though this will not show dramatic results.\u00a0 (In general, it takes a few weeks for HGH to begin showing its effects)\u00a0\u00a0 After a few weeks that can be taken to 4 i.u\u2019s a day.\u00a0 Men over 220 pounds can go as high as 6-8 i.u\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Though few pro bodybuilders are open about their drug use and consequently, their dosages, no one knows for sure what is typical among today\u2019s competitors though some have admitted to going as high as 15 i.u\u2019s a day, which is not only enormously costly but dangerous as well. At that dosage, the risk of tumor growth is greatly increased as well as the possibility of a stroke or heart attack.<\/p>\n

HGH should be cycled but it does not suppress the HPTA in the way steroids do.\u00a0 It will however, suppress natural HGH release and the longer the duration and the higher the dosages, the more severe the suppression will be.\u00a0\u00a0 HGH is best cycled with breaks of several weeks in-between.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that HGH cannot be absorbed orally, so any of the secretagogues (which aren\u2019t even real GH) sold as promoting GH release should be considered worthless.\u00a0 To support or supplement HGH,\u00a0 the use of Arginine or\u00a0 L alpha glycerylphosphorycholine \u2013 also known as Alpha GPC is a far more logical choice and recommended since Arginine is needed for GH output and additional amounts have been shown to heighten levels of both endogenous (natural) and exogenous (administered) HGH.<\/p>\n

HGH is the final step in the quest for the ultimate body.\u00a0 It obviously must be approached with caution and respect, but properly implemented it can make the difference between looking good and looking great.
