decides2dream

i searched for your thread.
yes, definitely does not sound like something i would be interested in. at all. but again, i appreciate all your information and sharing.

I'd suggest you do 10 times the recommended dose and amplify that with a few horse pills of speed. There has to be a way to obtain Hulk like effects without all that unhealthy gamma radiation.

This is hilarious, good work
...and I agree with the majority, don't start with that shit. Eat a balanced diet, train when possible, and enjoy life..

I took a cycle and the results were horrible.

I documented what happened here:

Well, that link that I posted with the original post has the nutritional part. I've always ate alot and the whole sugar immediately after work-out has been a huge help. That and the multi-vitamin. I've got more out of this workout than any other time I have worked out before and I credit it to the sugar more than anything.

I can go bigger and it still look natural. I've always been strong and fast, even when I was 125lbs. Hell, I went to regionals in powerlifting as 10th grader. I know that steriods are one thing that can make you look unnatural, but from my understanding HGH works on the signal hormone and will have more of the effect of... being 17 again. Don't know how else to put it. Well, bout to go and lift.

If a supplement involves the word "Hormones" you're playing with fire.....

At 145 pounds, you should be concentrating on trying to make yourself gain "real" strength not beach muscles. Face it....You're never gonna look like Ronnie Coleman or Arnold (nobody will without hardcore steroids). Personally, I put on 10 solid pounds (195 now) in 6 months by eating well (protein included) and working hard.

If you don't even understand what you're taking then you might not want to mess around.

Just my 2 cents

PS: It's very obvious when guys are on steriods....

just curious, but i assume the sugars you are referring to are complex carbs? eating simple sugars after the workout is not a good thing. i was assuming your meal would be a good protein and a good quality carb like a brown rice and veggies or something of that nature?

as far as advice on the HGH goes, unleass you are planning to compete professionally as a bodybuilder, i'd say stay safe. i had some friends in university who i used to train with and they had only amatuer aspirations. one guy was fine. one guy had to have a growth removed from his hamstring and his legs are different sizes now. another continued with it and now has a head that looks like a bunch of softballs taped together.

it's a roll of the dice, i guess.

The guys that I know that have taken it have loved it. Anyone here ever done it? What forms do you reccommend? I haven't looked into the different products yet.

I've been lifting and riding my bike consistently for about 3 months and following this

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/topicoftheweek37.htm

, and I've gained 15-20 lbs of muscle. Even though my results are obvious and I like them, I think I'm close to reaching a plateau. I've never taken steriods, but I'm very interested in HGH. I wanted to make sure that it increased bone density before I decided on it, and it does do that. Just wanted to check the pit for additional testimonials.

-you've only been working out for 3 months, you haven't "reached a plateau."
-you still have plenty of room to get in better shape.
-there is more to fitness than how many pounds of muscle you have.
-you probably can't gain much more muscle because anymore isn't what your body needs.
-and seriously...WHY would you want do this again???

It kills me we can discuss using steriods but i make 1 little thread about loving my shower head and POOF..... it gets (and I get) banished.

I guess the mods like muscle men and not clean girls.

If you think you're close to reaching a plateau it sounds like you would be better off changing up your workout and looking at your eating habits. I'm pretty much the same size as you said you were (5'9", 145lbs) and if I eat enough decent quality food and stick to workouts religiously I have no problem packing on a good few solid pounds.

If you're riding your bike a lot, all that cardio could prevent you from putting on muscle, since you need to be in a calorie surplus to put weight on and a deficit to lose it. It sounds more like you need to re-examine your goals. I kind of learnt that the hard way. At the beginning of the year I decided to get fit again, so I really went for it, quit drinking for a couple of months and had a pristine diet. And I did see some really positive changes, I lost a lot of the fat on my abs, and really toned up, but I wasn't putting on much actual muscle. And this was my problem, I wanted (like everyone else!) to put muscle on and get lean at the same time. Unfortunately these things require completely different approaches. For now, I've given up on the ultra-flat abs and decided to concentrate on muscle gain and strength, and I've seen a real increase in both in a fairly short amount of time.

I know you probably know all of the above, and I certainly can't advise you on the hormone supplements, but personally I would be thinking about the other options before I started needlessly looking for quick fixes.

exactly.

however, I will venture to say that just standing in the gym and lifting huge amounts of weight might make you look the way you want to, if the way you want to look is huge

but riding you bike, running, and training in such a way that promotes *lean muscle* may be better for your overall fitness level/health.

a lot of stuff people do in the gym is just an effort to make them look good rather than actually doing anything for them, like just doing millions of crunches.

Lol, I know! I regularly hear people saying about how many different abs exercises they are doing to 'get a six pack' - little do they know that no amount of crunches are going to give you a six-pack if your stomach is covered in a layer of lard!

It's funny, because even before I endeavoured on my exercise regime, I knew that I wasn't going to make big gains when I was also trying to get lean, but I carried on regardless becasue I was too impatient to build the muscle first then strip off the fat. And so I had to start practically from scratch, albeit with better stamina and strength etc. That's why above all things it is really important to set a goal and set about it in the most effective way.

the main problem is that in our society fitness has gotten all tangled up in the ideals of looking a certain way. there is a big distinction between the two. you might be able to get big arms or flat stomach, but that doesn't mean you're "fit" or vice versa. The same goes for women who are trying to get thin-thin doesn't mean fit, and having some amount of fat on your body doesn't mean you're not fit.

fitness is really about having a certain amount of strength, cardio vascular/lung capacity, and stamina, and how your body uses fuel.

I agree, although I think there is space for a compromise between wanting to be physically fit and wanting to look 'good'. It's all about actually understanding health and fitness and doing some proper research. That being said, there's so much crap on the internet, it's understandable why people get it all so wrong.

well, in the process of becoming more fit, you usually start to improve on how your body looks (of course depending on the standard). but you're also limited by your body's own parameters. You can't change the basic shape of your body. the overall fitest person in the world might not fit the "perfect body" standard.

I guess the term 'fittest' would depend on a number of things and how you measured it, although I'm willing to bet the 'fittest' person wouldn't be over-weight and lacking in muscle.

no, you're right. but if you have a rounder shape to your body you could still look chubbier or I mean whatever.

I can't develop lean muscle for the life of me like most women, I just put on mass immediately like a guy no matter what I do, so that's like a parameter I'm talking about, when the standard we have of a woman that looks good has all cut arms and shoulders and stuff.

Ah I see what you mean. Yeah stuff like bone structure is obviously not going to change, although I guess you can work certain body parts to emphasise them more, although that comes back to looks rather than fitness.
