HGH 40 +

[Ghoul]

Set it and forget it. You're not going to "feel" it unless you get sides. Low dose GH does it's work discreetly. You'll get leaner over time and your skin may improve but you're talking 6 months to a year down the road.

Also, if you're using it as a fat burner pre-cardio, you need to take it like 3 hours pre-cardio. The fat mobilization isn't instant.

Exactly what he said. Settle in for the long haul. It's coming, but you must be patient and consistent. There's not a whole hell of a lot out there that comes close to what consistant use of a GLP, rHGH, and ultimately what TRT will do.

If you have the urge to "get higher" in this newfound relatively benign drug habit of yours, focus on the basic. In your BP <120/80, the current ideal? How are your lipids? Choose the correct drugs to bring those into maximal longevity territory and you'll get a performance boost and no sides.

Got it, thank you both! Completely understand consistency is key to success. BP was nominal before GH, will be on my to-do when I'm back @ work (hospital) also not sure about lipids, been a while since I did blood work will have to check-in with GP.

I start my day pretty early, pin at 6am fasting 18/6 so don't eat until 12-1pm

Awesome post man! Exactly what I needed to read..

Just curious, how many of us 40 + y/o are running HGH.
If so, at what dose and for how long ?

51 yo have been on Tirzepitide for 10 months and TRT for about 5 months. I added HGH about 2 months ago at 2iu in the morning before a fasted workout. I recently added 1iu before bed. The results have been incredible for accelerated fat loss.
Since January I am down 55 lbs, added 15 lbs of muscle and BF% went from 37% to 16.5%.

I started 2iu of HGH this morning while fasted but then i had to wait an hour for my morning coffee.

If i took my dose before bed will it affect my sleep?

Or should i take 1iu in the morning and 1iu before bed?

Everybody is different. I started on a nightly 2iu dose. I wouldn’t say it was rough per se, but the first week it was like clock work.. at 230 I was up to piss, racing, but I was able to go back to sleep.

It seems like after that first week, the sides subsided.. Still have to piss crazy when I get up, but I’m sleeping later. Many people split dose, but I’m choosing to ride it out and stick with nightly bolus.

I took my first dose 3 hours ago and now i have a bit of a headache behind my right eye....its a coming side effect apparently

I'll just have to ride it out

It used to mess with my sleep. What I did that I think helped is my last meal about 2 hours or so before bed and injection had healthy fats in it.

Never seen that as a side. Could be blood pressure

I am very happy with the 2iu bolus in the AM before fasted cardio. I have been trying to add another 1iu mid day or at night, but the hand tingling and numbness isn’t subsiding, and it interrupts my sleep. My IGF-1 level is at 158 on 2iu.

Yeah I think I'll stick to AM for now....I dont want to mess with my sleep

Oof, that's scary. It's probably Ebola.

Black coffee does not break fast. Drink your coffee like a man.

69, and have been running 2IU morning and before bed the last 3 months. Tried running 4IU but had swelling and numbness in my hands and fingers. 2IU seems to be the sweet spot for me. Seeing some results and sleep has improved.

63 YOA, been running 2-4 ius before bed each night for the last 5 months. Have seen tremendous changes both in body fat and muscle growth, mainly because I'm not nearly as sore after workouts.

I'm currently running 2iu in the morning for a few weeks but I don't feel any different

I'll run it for a month then up to 2iu in the morning and 2iu before bed see how I feel after that

Just remember GH is a slow burn, and you won't 'feel' anything for the most part. Your recoveries using 4-6 iu's will be much easier, however after a couple of months.
