I have been receiving a few PM's from less experienced members(nothing wrong with that and I like helping you guys out =D) asking me to explain IMO how I compare testosterone to HGH so I decided to post this thread with the best explanation I can come up with, keep in mind I am no GURU like Tread and guys with that level of knowledge but I figured I could come up with something to help explain in a simple way to some of the guys here how these 2 amazing substances are so different in so many ways. Please if I made a mistake on any statement feel free to comment on it as this is something I came up with based on what I "think" I know.

So how does testosterone compare to HGH??

I believe you have to look at HGH and testosterone as 2 total different things, they work and act differently is almost every way. HGH's end result is basically raising our IGF 1 levels, HGH can cause hyperplasia which is the multiplication or creation of new muscle cells therefore enhancing one's genetic capability to add new muscle(this benefit of HGH use is achieved at higher doses IMO 5iu or higher). HGH has it's benefits even at doses as low as 1.5 to 3iu promoting fat loss and will make your body more efficient as far as how it processes the protein you ingest(improved protein synthesis) resulting in a physique with less fat and a good environment to build muscle. HGH has to be run for long periods of time, 6 months MINIMUM to a full year IMO and it does not produce immediate results like Testosterone can, HGH gains can be noticed at least in my case after 2 months or so where my stomach tightens up and waist size decreases.
Now testosterone is a little substance most of us here know very well and will cause rapid muscle growth and strength increase in as little as a few days with the fast ester versions. Usually used in no longer than 16 week cycles often stacked with other anabolics followed by a PCT. HGH does not require any PCT

For example, I use HGH because @ 5'7" 200lb on my very skinny frame and fast metabolism is pretty much as much as I can get even with juice and 4500cals+... That's where the hyperplasia comes in, Testosterone cannot build new muscle cells, it can only grow them. So I am "creating new muscle cells w/ the HGH" and also hitting the Testosterone to grow those new babies therefore boosting my genetic ability to put on muscle beyond what steroids alone could ever do for me. Again, gains aren't as drastic as Testosterone as I already mentioned, slow gains but these new cells are yours for good. Major plus also already mentioned is in the fat loss and protein synthesis aspect, HGH stacks well with Testosterone but I won't get into detail on that. HGH + AAS along with a nice diet is a very nice combo if you are trying to push through harsh plateaus, all about up'in the axis.

I personally do not recommend anyone younger than 27 to use HGH and speacially if you arent close to your genetic max, this post is for the guys that are fit to use it, hope it helped.
