How far out to take GH from BB show

[iceberg]

I am doing a BB show next September or October. I am currently on a bulking cycle that will take me through February.

will start a cutting cycle in June after 3 months off.

I was going to add GH (trying for first time) for this show.

I know it takes a good 3 months before you even notice anything. I was thinking of starting March first. This will be 7 months before show. I am going to take 4iu 5days/week. I picked March because that is when my bulking cycle ends and I thought it might help me psycologically to start right after I finished.

I'm going to bump this, and add to it a bit: I've heard that GH can cause some water retention, so how far out from a show should someone that's competing stop running it?

a few guys that compete said around 2-3 weeks before the comp to cut it out But I don't have a ton of experience with it.

The other thing that I have read and will implement is start off taking lower doses to minimize the sides of joint pain. I was going to start 7-8 months out at 2iu 5days/week then after 2-3 weeks go to 3 iu then after another 2-3 weeks up to the 4iu that I will stick with.

I am just looking for some advice from anyone who has run GH for a show and the best way to take it.

Good question. I was also wondering that myself.

A question for you iceburg. Why are you only running the GH 5 days a week? Also what else are you running with it and for how long?

I have read 3 different options on taking GH:

1. ED
2. EOD
3. M-F

A variation is to split the injection into 2x a day.

I got the M-F from one of the Rejuvanation treatment places (Oasis). It is a legit perscription, and that is what they recommended.

I still am not sold on this approach which is why I am asking the questions.

As far as contest cycle. My friend is starting a pre-contest cycle for a March show. He is geting advice from a national level bodybuilder out of Delaware so I am waitting to see how my friend does. The cycle that is being recommended is as follows:

Start 12 weeks out:

equipoise: 200 mg's eod
Stanozolo: 100mg's eod
prop:200 mg's eod
masteron:200 mg's eod
hgh: 5 iu's first thing in am
insulin: none because it requires a high sugar protein shake to be
effective.
last 6 weeks: pull the prop, replace with primo and
increase masteron to 400 mg's eod.

I plan on posting this cycle for feedback separately because I have a lot of questions / doubts about it, but the guy helping us definately knows what he is doing.

i dont know about the show part but i can tell you this for sure dont take all 5 ius in the morning split it up 2.5 and 2.5. 5 on 2 off seems to be popular more for a cost factor though not a result factor best results would be to take ED. good luck.
