HGH and recovering from muscle injuries (using L-Glutamine)

Well I've never won the lottery ... so I can't say it will improve your luck.

On the other hand it will improve your chances of copping off with a rich old widow. Is that good enough?

I hope this is just my body clearing out all the oil and junk it doesnt want on my skin and in a week or so they'll all have cleared!!!

No - I'm sorry to say that you will stay this way for just about ever.

Next week you start thinking about girls again. And if that wasn't bad enough you begin to panic about your homework the week after that.

Lolz!!!

So if I am 24... dont have any injuries and am trying to help my bulking up progress along.... If I was to get out of bed, stick 5-10 grams of glutamine and a fizzy vit c capsule in half a pint of water and drink it as soon as i got out of bed.... then go and have a shower etc and have breakfast half an hour or more later.... would this definately lead to an increase in my GH?? and this would result in more muscle growth obviously right?

Funnily enough "growth" hormone, isn't particularly anabolic. You could take supra-physiological doses of HGH by injection and not notice any increase in muscle mass for months. However it comes into it's own when it comes to body-composition.

So would doing what i just said be worth while for me to do? I dont have any glutamine at the moment... I dont really like tkaing loads of it but if its substantially worth while I might get some more and do that in the mornings....

**Wotan** · 28-03-2009 08:25 PM

Growth hormone, like sendos said, isn't particularly anabolic. It will partion calories for sure, that's well understood. So, you might ask yourself, what's the point of it then.

Well, two things. First it will increase your test levels by a few percent eventually. This can only help obviously. The second though is the more important.

Although its called Growth Hormone it doesn't make you grow once you've reached adulthood (biologicaaly speaking somewhere between 21 and, say, 25). Its job after that is "repair", and if it were called "Repair Hormone" instead, you would immediately grasp the idea that you could lift until exhaustion and then recover in half the time.

So although its not generally anabolic in itself it does facilitate and reinforce anabolic behaviour patterns, ie lifting weights, uphill sprints, bodyweight exercises etc. In fact without it you would never repair yourself really and things like lifting weights would actually be self-destructive.

been taking this for 3 weeks now and I got to say I've never had a bad day since, I've got to work woth a spring in my step everyday and an even better effect has been any hangover Ive had has not lasted more than 30 mins, even last sat when I was drinking stella till 5 in the morning, I got up at 10 and felt great all day ( and no it wasnt the stella still!!!)

Regards training/fatloss etc I've not noticed any thing but thats cause I've got to the gym twice in this period.

Cheers Wotan!!

What danger Wotan? On other sites users say that low dose long term administration has the best results. The only evidence of cycling that i have seen is that EOD administration is better than ED because your body releases hgh in pulses anyway.

Also, some users (can't remember who) said that the hgh bloat can be reduced by taking your EFAs. I don't know why, sry.
