Ahh...
I'm 205 and 6'2 and just started taking peps back in March. IGF and CJC only about 3 weeks ago.
If you're taking a lower dose than the "beginner" then I need to be even more conservative.
Probably 10mg twice a week, maybe 3 times a week max.
I'll also get DES and PEG if it ever comes through the BST groups. I can't be waiting 2 months for products from CN (still waiting on FURONG).
So anavar, but no HGH.
It's definitely mixed reviews - half are saying hgh is safer and better long term, the other half are saying anavar is faster results than hgh but higher risk profile.
Sheesh.
Okay, this is going to be a long one. So, mea culpa.
Yes you should try Var 3 days a week at 10mg... But before I go on the deep throat on HGH and Ana, you will need context. I will do it in terms of business strategy.
So there are two goals- proximate goals and ultimate goals.
My proximate goal is to lose as much fat as possible while preserving as much muscle and strength as I can. Another proximate goal is to stave off TRT, HRT, and senescence as much as possible. But these are all short term goals meant to serve the ultimate goal which is to NEVER HAVE TO GO ON A FAT LOSS SLASH/CUT journey again.
That said, it makes no sense to me to try and build "muscle mass" when I am going to cut weight. But then, there are three things people can train for with resistance training. Everybody knows about sarcoplasmic hypertrophy aka bodybuilding/volume/mass training. Some know about myofibrillar hypertrophy aka strength training. But there is a 3rd thing you can train for- power! Some think thats like plyometrics, but it is not.
You see, functional strength becomes more and more critical as one ages and the ability to move well is so understated. I am fortunate in the sense that my chosen sport is the one where the athletes preserve their strength the most into old age. Even the phrase, old man strength is most prevalent in my sport. And there is a reason for that. It boils down to the type of training we do.
Now that deals with backdrop. So, about HGH, sure our levels subside with age. But HGH will help us lose weight, put on muscle. Yet, I'm using GLp's already. I don't want to have even the tiniest amount of water retention when I am gonna lose weight. I know I will lose some lean muscle mass, even if it is 10%. But the mass lost is going to be sarcoplasmic fluid aka muscle volume. All the stem cells converted to myonuclei inside the muscle cells will remain. The increased myonuclei means that eventually when I do start to bulk up, they will, in the words of @Mr. Blonde, blast forward. So right now, my aim is to train for power/myofibrillar hypertrophy and tendon hyperplasia. Anavar is great for that. I have prior experience with it.
