HGH vs peptides on TRT

ad

I’ve ran cycles in the past, (test, deca, npp, eq), nothing overly serious. I’ve trained primarily for strength and conditioning rather than for physical appearance, but at my peak I was 225, 6 ft, and roughly 17% body fat. I suffered a major back injury(2 herniated discs, 2 compressed, and 2 slipped) while in the service and as a result this guy has let himself go and gained 50lbs.

I’m beginning to move around better thanks to physical therapy and have slowly began introducing weightlifting again but just the machines.

Currently on a very mild TRT dose of 100mg/week and am considering running a low dose of HGH 2-4 iu to give the physique a little boost. I’ve also been recommended to consider peptides that stimulate growth hormone however I am extremely ignorant to both compounds.

Can anyone chime in their experience with using both and their personal recommendations? I’d consider running another cycle but it would be wasteful since I can’t fully exert myself just yet and I’d risk frequent spasms that last 2-3 days at a time.

2-3IU on a cruise is perfect for melting away a little bf and helping with recovery, among some other QoL things… I have never and probably will never use a GHRP/IF1-LR3/etc because GH is just better at the job.

HGH > growth hormone releasing peptides. GHRPs rely on your own body's ability to produce the GH to begin with which could be compromised, makes more sense to work around that by just shooting the real deal and getting consistent numbers.

If you can get bloodwork on Test & GH levels that would help you figure out dosing. Maybe 100mg T isn't enough, maybe it's perfect. Maybe you don't produce much natural HGH and a small amount might help, or maybe you do and need a higher dose.

I ran 120mg T with 2.5iU HGH for a 16 week cruise a while back and had no complaints, felt good and kept a lot of gains.

Did you need to suck cock at that dose?

The main peptide I’ve been repeatedly recommended is GLP-1 which I recently found out is ozempic. Any thoughts on running this simultaneously with HGH?

Genuinely my main goal is to cut down to at least 20-30 lbs and see how my body feels. This excess weight has seriously hindered my mobility.

Ah, my bad. Didn’t know it was a banned topic.
