hey ive been doing research on hgh and
IGF-1 for about a month or so now and I
want to know if its the right thing for
me. first, let me give you a quick bio...
im 20 yrs old, 6'1", 140 lbs. i know i am
skinny, but i am also pretty healthy and
have never had a problem being athletic. i
just want to get bigger and look better
overall (fit clothes better, not look
ridiculous with my shirt off, better self
confidence, maybe clean up some of the
damage of cigarettes to my skin, etc..).
i want to know if HGH and/or IGF-1 will
help me do this. i'd like to be an average
weight for a guy my height..not quite sure
what that would be but like i said, im not
in bad shape...just really skinny. ive
read a lot about HGH and planned on taking
the releasers for 6 months or so to see
what happens..but i just started reading
about IGF-1 and for some reason its hard
to get an answer i can understand online,
as everything i read has 90% words that
mean nothing to my brain...probably should
have payed attention in school.
anyways..is either worth it or would
either of them work on gaining weight and
overall improving my health. ive heard
good things about HGH releasers and im
just not interested in anything that is as
serious as roids...kind of confused as to
if its even worth it or if it will work
how i think it will. thanks everyone...

I don't quite know about growth hormones
and their side effects, you said you have
done the research for the past month, so
you probably know about that. From my
experience though, that is a tricky path
you are taking, since you would have to
deal with all the bull products out there.
Even more so, what I've gathered over the
years when it comes to attaining a
physical aspect, anything that provides a
faster means of achieving it is never any
good for you long term. Whether it's penis
enlargement, low cal dieting, stacking up
on roids, etc.
It is your choice of course however, but
why not try to get bigger the real way,
working out. There is no real reason for
you to get bigger quicker within a limited
amount of time is there, other then that
you don't want to spend the time and hard
work. If you ever did attempt to work out,
and your response to this last comment of
mine is "I've tried it already, or I've
tried everything, etc", chances are, no,
you have not.
Good luck with your decision. Hope you
don't regret it in the end. I would say it
is not worth it.

yes i have worked out before using high
protein/carb diets, muscle milk, creatine,
etc...i did have muscle growth, however i
guess im wanting to be thicker, not just
ripped. id like my whole body to actually
grow naturally; possibly by produciing
more HGH which is something everyone
produces. it determines our size, what we
look like, etc... based on many factors.
one of these factors (i have heard) is
malnutrition. i was always fed but always
hungry as i grew up pretty poor when i was
in my teens...so im thinking i just didnt
get enough proteins and other things that
would have given me more size in my
growing stage......................however
i could be COMPLETELY wrong but thats why
im here.
thanks for the response!

Well the thing about wanting to get bigger
with HGH...
Wouldn't you potentially get taller too,
along with thickness? So then...
proportionately... you'd still be the
same, just a taller version?

A few thoughts....
You are only 20 years old. Learn how to
eat rigth and workout efficiently first
and foremost. Second only experienced
lifters who have a regimented plan and
diet for atleast 3 years are the only ones
who shoudl even consider steroids or
growth hormones. Third, I doubt any 20 yr
old can afford HGH or IGF-1. You are
looking at about $1300 every 6 weeks and
the fact is HGH doesn't start working to
its peak until after 6 months straight of
use. IGF-1 is a drug that is mainly used
as post cycle therapy for steroid users
when they come off the roids and want to
bring their body back to producing
testosterone efficiently on its own again
all while keep their gains on the cycle.
IGF-1 costs around $600 for 8-10 week
cycle I think.
Overall though you are way to young to
start this and notdoing it the right way
along with the wrong diet and workout
regimine is just stupid in my opinion.
Lets get you some education on nutrition
and workouts first! You may be surpised
what eating the right foods and portions
will do to your body. let me know if you
need or want assistance on that.
