HGH for tendon and cartlidge growth

stinkpelt · May 27, 2009

Hello, I am thinking about adding 4iu/day to my next cycle of 600mg test/wk and 400mg deca/wk.
My knees bother me as well as my shoulders and elbows and I was thinking that the GH will help increase my joint and tendon strength. Will 4iu/day for 4 months (5 days on 2 off) be enough to significantly strengthen my joints? I am 32 years old but have trained hard most of my life and my joints go on strike sometimes.

I had similar problems with the disc cartillage in my neck. The HGH helped and it does take some time before you notice it working. Also try an elevated dose of Cosamine, twice a day, which is available over the counter at most any drug store.

you may want to dose it EOD instead rather than 5 on 2 off, and also may want to start at a smaller dose like 1-2 iu and work your way up to 4 over a few weeks. seems more people experience negative sides jumping in higher. Not like 4 is super high, but still quite a bit higher than natural levels all at once

Correct to start at 2 EOD for the first two weeks then jump to 4 EOD. It will keep your levels steady and have less sides in the long run. This should be done over months( at least six ) not weeks.

i have tennon issues and used 4iu for an 8 month pierod. after three months, i noticed it was helping with a lot. my skin was softer and smoother, i was actualling growing hair, and on cycle i made better gains. but the negative was that my joints and tennons started hurting more and more as time went on. i actually had to stop because it was inhibiting my exercise.
in my opinion if you use hgh, start at a low dose (2to3iu) ed and wait for at least 4 months. if all is good then ramp it up 1 to 2 ius a day more and see what happens but wait for a few months before you do any changes.
do some searchs on the internett about the side effects of hgh and you will see that one of the side effects are joint pains so if you are trying to stop them, dont use.

I will start at 1 to 2 ius EOD and see what happens.
Where do you guys usually pin GH?
I have recently strained a muscle in my forearm and it is taking some time to heal, will pinning gh into a muscle that is in need of repair speed the process up? Hope thats not too dumb a question......

Because there are a shitload of nevers and veins in there. A buddy of mine tried doing igf in his forearm one time and hit a nerve and damaged it. He had severe pain in that forearm for about a month.

what about just subQ in the forearm area and not IM? will site injection affect how HGH works?

GH at 2IU per day has been helping very well with my hurt hip and lower back. Never had joint pain what so ever, even after 16 years of working out hard, but at 34 years old, it started up suddenly. But the GH seems to be fixing it and it's already feeling better in less than a week of being on it.
