I always wondered this because back in 1998 when I 1st tried GH at 4iu a day (2iu AM/2iuPM)and weekends off for 3 weeks then I had to stop. Carpal tunnel was bad, pump in gym was painful and then the dreaded abdominal distention.
Now any years later I am trying it again because my diet and training is better and figured I would see how I could do on lower doses.
Day 1 - 2iu (split between AM and afternoon shots)
Day 2 - 2.5iu (split between AM and afternoon shots)
Day 3 - 3.0iu (split between AM and afternoon shots)
Today - Day 4 - 1.0 iu 1st thing in the morning pre-cardio.
Also just came off a 2.5 week slin run because though I LOVED the way I felt in the gym, the bloat in my stomach was too much. Matter of fact, adding in the GH made my problem worse (belly). I am doing PCT right now so no AAS so GH and PCT drugs. (started them a few days ago)
That leads me to my main question about GH responders. Now I know there are lots of IGF receptors I think in the organs in the belly area and already my oblique's are getting thick and bigger (in 3 days wtf?) ab distention too. So maybe I have an abnormal high amount of IGF receptors in that area. So I decided to back it down to just 1iu in the morning and give it a few days to a week then go up a bit if things look better. I also want to "clean out" from this slin and see what happens after a week with no slin. I am taking Metformin now and on no carbs.
I researched for HOURS and no where can I find that GH increases visceral fat, in fact every study, article, forum post etc I came across talks about how GH reduces visceral fat pretty much as a fact.
So what the heck is my issue? am I a hyper-sensitive to gh? good and also bad effects. My hands feel a little stiff but very bearable and after 3 days, this morning I did 45 min of cardio at 6am. I go to take a shower and my delts and chest and what-not look fucking jacked, totally not normal. I don't know what else to blame but the gh...(that side effect I like btw).
But I am thinking since I have always been plagued with visceral fat that maybe I am just insulin resistant or borderline (also maybe why I love ketogenic diets so much and lose fat on them) and the slin and more importantly the GH is making my insulin sensitivity worse, but does that alone equate to distention in a matter of a few days? Never had an issue with blood work where dr said I had any issues, resting blood glucose always normal etc.
So I think gh is changing my physique in both good and bad ways, but honestly how the heck is this possible in only a few days and on a very conservative dose? Any ideas? am I missing something?
