Urgent advice for client!

[Figo7]

Hi guys,

I have a 44 year old woman as one of my clients. She used to compete so she has always been in great shape. In the summer she asked about using HGH and I advised against it until we saw how her progress was going. Anyhow, she ended up telling me she was busy with life and would have to take some time off training.

Today, she came to see me to start back up again and she was almost in tears. She went behind my back and decided to take 2iu of GH for 5 days ON and 2 days OFF. She has also been taking 1/2 of a T3 pill every day. She started all of this on Sept-11-2011 and she has noticed:

1. Looks very thick
2. Midsection is extended (like an extreme bloat)
3. Hips/Buttocks have increased in size dramatically
4. Has gained 15lbs

To be honest, she looks terrible, and she knows it. She said she has been following my lean diet plan that I gave her (very lean so as to stay lean and tight). She has also been following my training routine that I made for her (5 days in the gym - 4 weight and cardio days and 1 core/cardio day)

Her questions are:
1. Is this normal?
2. I was told that by the 3 month point, things start to tighten up and fat comes off. Is this true?


My questions:
1. I have no experience with HGH, so does she stop it? Decrease dose? Continue longer? Is there something she can take to counter-act everything?

2IU of GH daily isnt much at all and I honestly think the distended stomach idea being caused by GH is a lot of hooey unless you on for ong periods and super high doses. PRO BBers often have distended stomachs because they have to eat massive amounts of food to support their frame.

Dramatic size increase is likely due to the added 15lbs. The key questions is what does that 15lbs made up of? Fat or muscle? My guess would be she likely isnt following your diet plan at all OR she is downing some var and not telling you.

Seriously?......

I've known this lady for a long time and she's always looked good. She had a surgery on her knee and was basically making a comeback which for her wouldn't normally be a problem. I think she experimented and now has gained wait. I saw her today and it's composed of fat and, yes, a little bit of water weight.......

I'm not sure what to tell her, because although I'm familiar with anabolics...GH I haven't personally been into, nor have any of my clients.....so I'm not sure if I tell her to continue until this supposed "3 month timeframe", or tell her to stop with it and just stick to a fat burner or ECA?.....

Anyone?

tell her to go to the doctor and have a panel ran to make sure she is ok on all her hormone levels

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much!

When it comes to Anabolics I'm pretty well versed, but havent even thought of GH even for myself!
Geesh!

I'm going to have her decrease the dose by 25% for 2 weeks and watch salt. If the problem persists, I'll have her go to a doctor an get a hormone panel taken....

Thanks again all of you, and I'll post back with the solution once we reach one.

it could be fake GH , sometimes some UG labs replace it with insuline or cortisone, make sure if the source is legit.
and btw for a woman and for her first time at her age i suggest starting at 1 iu/eod to 1 iu/ed later on when her gains stalls.
