5 days on/2 days off GH necessary?

[TexasBB]

I read somewhere recently that the 5 on 2 off isn't necessary. i'm running 2iu's of soma a day. should i just run it continuously or take the 2 day break?

 

[a creed]

It's used to save $$$$, nothing else.

 

[solidspine]

Yes you can run it 7 days a week, like posted above , guys simply do 5 and 2 to save cash.

 

[drrman]

above guys are correct

ED is better

Taking 2 days off will let your own GH production resume more quickly tho. It's considered a "mini cycle". Also, don't shoot it right before bed. Ideally, if you wake-up early in the morning to take a leak shoot it, then go right back to bed.

I don't think there are studies in atheletes or BB's, but the doctors at the Anti Againg Group (the HRT doctors I use) swear by 5 on and 2 off and I know price is no object. They will let me do two (2) of the 2.8 IU shots a day using Genotropin Mini-Quicks for 5 out of 7 days a week (5 on / 2 off). But they won't let me do even half that 7 days a week.

There was as study looking at natural GH restoration in children who were GH-deficient and given exogenous GH. The EoD group resumed their own production as adults, the 5 on / 2 off group recovered second-quickest and the ED group had the most problems. Again, I know that's not atheletes/BB's tho. I'll look for the study.

We need more clinical studies from old farts like me to figure out how hard exogenous GH shuts you down if you discontinue it.

You can run it strait. It just costs more. I have read its actually better due to more stable IGF-1 Levels. Not sure if thats true.

Good post! How old are you bro?

I'm 38. I contacted the Anti-Aging Group around Sept of 2004 and started a combo of GH and Test around October of 2004. I pretty much do GH year round and cycle as needed.

Its funny, but these guys will dial you in based on what you want, depending on goals. They have cycled me on test, test/deca/win, test, test. They've offered me anavar too but at the time I was shedding (maybe from stress) so I didn't jump on it at the time.

I have to look "normal" in a suit now, so i'm thinking about asking for my next cycle to be something like 450 mg/week of propionate (2x injects) and try to get hard and lean.

EOD seems to be the best way, from both anecdotal BB reports and scientific studies.

The idea is to prevent your natural production from shutting down.
Shutting down this body function could be a disaster.
I'm a chicken and do mine eod.

Lots of HGH info in the Life Extension area because it is a component of HRT.

If I am not mistaken this is your first run with rHGH - You started at 4iu ED and then switched to 8iu EOD. You could be getting better results becuase you are further into taking the HGH.

You cant really judge which is better if you have not run 2 different cycles two different ways.

If you are younger than 30, do you do you suggest 6iu EOD? This I was told if you are younger you have to use more to really see some effects in those 6 months... that just seems like too much but Idk
