HGH question and muscle growth vs Testosterone
ad
okay my understanding is testosterone swells the cells, not create new cells. However, I understand that high creates new cells for muscle growth. Now with testosterone once you quit and slack off the cells shrink if I am right. However, if you take HGH do those new cells that increase muscle stay or do they go away or am I way off base here.

basskiller89Hello brother
That is a grossly over simplified understanding of both compounds
While there is some truth to what you're getting at, it's far more complicated than 1 + 1 = 2
Most are able to keep 90% of our gains off cycle by handling PCT, nutrition and exercise protocols properly
awnoldYeah I agree with this. If u want to build muscle GH is not the way to go. Testosterone would put muscle on anyone but GH is used mainly to potentiate steroids and burn fat. GH alone won't build much if any muscle.
Hello Sir,
The way you put it across sounds a bit confusing.
Are you talking about:
- muscle hypertrophy - AAS effect on it,
- hyperplasia and HGH effect on it ???
yeah my understanding is Testosterone increases muscle hypertrophy and HGH increases hyperplasia. Is that correct?
Yes that seems like what he means. Any info you can share on both?
Stats
Age: 45
Height: 5'6
Weight: 210
BF: 28-30%
What’s your cycle history?
basskiller89At 30% body fat he's carrying roughly 50-60lbs of fat right now
Yes, I know that.
I’m asking what his cycle history is before I give him advice.
As far as cycle history I have taken doctor prescribed Test cyp. 200mg every other week. Not tried HGH. However, would that not cause an increase in the cells at the muscles (hyperplasia) increasing muscle size vs taking test to increase cell size (hypertrophy)?
3 months of testosterone or any other cycle will show better results than a year of hgh. However, the slow and steady games that you make from HGH are permanent. Because you are correct in believing that testosterone will increase the size of your current muscles and HGH are the only thing that will allow you to build new muscles.
seems like running a couple test cycles a year along with hgh over a year would be the way to go, but I am going to have to research this a little more and understand more about running them together. I am preparing ahead of time and doing my research.
That is true, but don’t run cycles until you drop the body fat % down bro. It won’t take long if you work for it.
Feel free to look at my before and after pictures and you’ll know that I’ve done it myself.
I posted a couple and will post a few more tomorrow. You can see how far I have came in my quest.
I’ve not done a cycle of hgh yet, researching it right now.
5’6. Down to about 204 and gained a bit of muscle. Bf is down a lot. Should be somewhere in the low 20’s, around 22-23.
basskiller89You have my full interest brother
I hope he replies
