From what i've read, GH abuse can cause the organs to enlarge.

Wether this is true or not, i don't know.
Never been too interested in GH personally.
 
I'm still not "sold" on it being JUST hGH. I've taken a LOT of hGH, for years... I don't have any distention, whatsoever. But, if I stick in over 30ius a day, or so, of insulin, my belly does get a bit swollen. Now, it goes away after about a day... But, I imagine with prolonged usage, it could be a more permanent thing. Remember, it's not actually GH that stimulates the growth, anyway. The GI tract has more IGF-1 receptors in it than anywhere else on your body. So, hGH -> Liver -> IGF-1 pulse -> binding to areas with most receptors, right? Seems logical to me. Now, why does the insulin seem to make it WAY worse? I wish I knew more.
 
HGH, insulin, and peptides all cause intestinal growth. They have little to no bodyfat, but their organs are inlarged which causes a distended gut.
 
Damn. So Sylvester Stallone, who is a known user of HGH, he still looks kind of normal. Is it dose related, and like someone else stated insulin related?

By the way, 2iu's a day, waste of money? Does your body naturally start producing growth again after, or does natural production really never stop?

Without large doses of HGH, coupled with high dose insulin use, it's unlikely you would notice any intestinal growth, or distended gut. Also 2iu HGH per day is considered a replacement dose, like taking 200mg test a week for TRT.
 
Moderate bolus dosages of GH dosed daily probably isn't going to cause this.

Not sure if that changes when several dosages are being administered multiple times throughout the day as is sometimes done when large amounts of GH is being used. I'm not a fan of this approach at all, it seems like it's just asking for trouble for a number of reasons.

Anyway, I don't think GH is the primary culprit.

At 2iu's he'll still get the maximum benefits when it comes to lipolysis tho, so it's still worth using if that's his goal.
 
The mass amounts of food hafta add a little bit to the gut problem.

i would think so, but only to a small degree.

Has anyone correlated the mass availability of GH and the changes (if any) in the professional bodybuilders around that time?

i should do a little research on that.
Could have some interesting findings.
 
Now let's talk a little more about recovery. If I used HGH say for a year of two, woukd my body start naturally producing once use cease?

And 2iu would be for quality human grade, I imagine 4iu for generic?

Skin conditioning, and fat loss would be goals. What other benefits would one get from mild usage?

At the moment I just pin TestE 125mg/NPP 50mg E3D. I have been feeling pretty damn good. About to switch to 125TestE/100Primo E3D.

Like wuderpus said I think it's more the abuse of high insulin doses combined with gh.
 
Its the food more than the gh in my opinion. They eat massive amounts of food to maintain their size.
 
HGH use in high amounts and insulin, #1 sign is the ambilical hernia since belly button is the weakest area to give out when organs grow. You can also see the larger gap between the abs which is the tearing from the organ growth seperating the abs. It's not normal to have a 3" gap between abs

I was wondering why Bostin Loyds abs look different over the years.

Honestly, it isn't going to end well for that kid is it?

No, but I like his style lol he's definitely different. And he he definitely experiments out lout so we know what NOT to do.
 
But his shit loooked fucked up on the enhanced athlete video


What's your thoughts on Lee Preist's "small amounts" he has taken?

In one of his videos he was talking about the surgery he went through, he had a shot in what I recall was his delt, that got infected.

In another video he made it sound as if he only pins about every 5 days....

Now if you don't pin often, what are you doing pinning Winstrol suspension? This is not something that will benefit you during contest prep occasionally getting a shot.

None the less, his videos are very entertaining. The only ones I can hardly stomach are Pianas. But there is definitely something to be learned on occasion, rather it's what not to do, or the occasional tip that helps the types like me whom or not that hardcore.
