Interesting....

Don't know much about GH (Growth Hormone) but i sat in on a presentation last nite at my university. There were looking into whether GH supplementation actually builds new muscle or if it possibly just makes more ligaments, tendons, etc. Some theorize that because strength usually does not see a significant change when using GH but muscle weight does this is where the logic comes into play. The reason for the gain in body weight may be due to heavier organs from organ growth, tendons and ligament growth, etc. Pretty interesting stuff which i am looking forward in seeing more of the studies in the future!!! ~JT~

Any1....

Have any thoughts on this???

 

[c3ntrifug3]

I'm confused

I thought GH makes strength go up significantly, though...

I thought it was common knowldge that GH is not exactly "anabolic." Sure, muscle growth is a result, but nothing like an anabolic. Sometimes doctors are so far behind those that actually test this stuff through trial and error. Next thing you know they'll be announcing that anavar is good for muscle growth.

 

[TheDarkSideNinja]

Yea but....

Just because it's not anabolic wouldn't have much to do with the strength anyways...correct??? Since it seems there is enough muscle growth and such a low level of strength gained wouldn't this theory possibly make some sense??? Scientists should run an experiment and see what GH will do if you take it for a certain period of time and then go inside the body and look at how the structures changed thats about the only way of really finding out!!! Before the process takes off they would take pix before and compare....

Just go to pubmed...there are studys like that in existence.

I don't know why people would do GH. To me that sounds even more dangerous with more potentially permanent effect than, gee, upping the steroid doses?

ever seen a GH gut? thats some enlarged stomach and intestines for ya. yummy

 

[gmanlax7]

i would like the couple inches it can make ya grow though

You won't get taller from GH supplementation. Once your growth plates are closed, they're closed.

If your plates haven't closed because you are a late developer (that rare guy that grows 4 inches from 19-25 years old), then it may help...but you aren't done growing yet anyway...so you'd grow with or without GH.

From experience I gained about 1-1.5lbs per day while on GH for a month. Though my strength didn't go up much then. Within a couple of months after that my strength skyrocketed. So I think that you gain a lot of muscle mass but need time to get it working in sync with the rest of your body. Also made my joints feel much much better.

[gmanlax7]

scotsman that sounds like it worked well for ya. I wouldnt mind gaining 30 pounds. did you put on a lot of fat ?

isn't GH a long fucking needle that you have to do through your stomach to your spine or something like that ?

 

[Scotsman]

Actually I got leaner while on that is a great side effect of gh. NO you use insulin needles as it is a subcutaneous injection. Also at about $750 for 4 weeks worth it is pretty expensive stuff. Warning you will also be very tired all the time.

[gmanlax7]

get any taller, bigger head, jaw or anything else notable ?

how bout GH gut

 

[Scotsman]

gman- No I didn't get any weird growth issues. At 23 when I took it my growth plates were done so no height increase. I also was taking a pretty low does of 4 units per day for 28 days. No gh gut, like I said I actually got leaner and tighter. The only risk of gh gut is taking massive amounts with other substances. Also each person will react in their own way so a dose that doesn't produce negative side effects for me could for you. So be careful and do as much research as you can on anything you take.
