HGH and RT: the best combination?

[lessthanhalf]

The basic info is exactly what I got from a couple of papers from google scholar on it so the doses for age and iu/mg etc are definitely correct.

How long after starting HGH did you feel effects? I just started so curious as I have read it take 6-12 months to see real progress???

'Feel' effects is a really difficult one.

Its not like I realised one day that I didnt ache as much, or that I could feel any kind of body recomp occuring. Thats why I log all the metrics I possibly can. Its a lot like when you lose weight, to eyeball even a 1kg loss in fat is hard, but it shows up on the scales far quicker to the eye.

I think after week 2, I began to notice things. The ability to push a bit harder in the gym, recover quicker, and I saw some small visual changes in my lower belly fat starting to shift. But, they were so minor that it could have been placebo or 'I know im taking HGH, so it must be that!'. I didnt take any waist measurements to give a reasonable before vs after figure.

I am still very much of the opinion that HGH is a long-game thing. Dont expect to suddenly get effects like a GLP, as an example, but its doing something im absolutely sure of it - the numbers provided to me confirm that.

If it does, indeed, take 6+ months to see progress, I cant wait to see what 'progress' really looks like!

Your post is encouraging. Into my second week of H. I’m playing the long game as well.

This is the real expecation.

Unless if you have a large amount of weight to drop, you will stop using the reta before the hgh kicks in, unless if you are one of those oddballs who just uses reta all year as a crutch to avoid eating a healhty diet

probably about 3 months before the fat loss form hgh is really noticable. most of the time until then you will maybe have higher subq water and might look a little bigger

Spoken by someone who is most likely not in the target market for the drug ( reta ) in the first place, does not have significant obesity , and is expressing some mildly offensive opinions that might be appropriate on meso or a bodybuilding forum, but not on GLP-1 forum. If the person is obese , then most likely they will eventually learn how difficult long term weight loss maintenance really is.

Reta and other GLPs are a literally lifesaving drug for those with severe obesity, and staying on them long term is by far the most effective method of maintaining weight loss. Using it in that context is an appropriate and sensible medical therapy , not a crutch for oddballs, and you are being offensive in stating that.

When being used for its non intended purpose, cosmetic weight loss, the way it is used might be different, but to apply that logic to everyone is not useful.

Well said. Reta literally saved my life. And I dare anyone to eat a unhealthy diet while on Reta - does not end well!
