agree on that, local hero...
ive never run HGH myself (pretty much the only thing i have yet to try, however it does not seem to be worth the cost to me so far), however ive ran peps and i actually think while you will obviously look worse on tons of test/gh (or peps) when you OVEREAT and OVERSPILL, the water retention from both test and GH / gh peptides will all be INTRAMUSCULAR if you keep your carb intake sensible...
in fact the first 1-2 weeks transitioning from a cut into a bulk i ALWAYS look my best, thats the time when all the glycogen and water goes straight INTO the muscle and NONE under the skin yet... it also always takes me about a week to fill out (even with slin) completely, by then overspilling is easy, but i could never carb up in a single day for example
i personally would neither drop GH nor test going into a competetion. in fact i would actually try to be completely show ready 1 or 2 weeks before and then increase carbs again to be full yet still dry come show day. (gotta be very sensible to not overspill yet come in dry, however since nowadays EVERYONE in the IFBB fucks themselves up by overcarbing anyway whats there to lose lol)
this is all from personal experience though and i havent done a contest now. just what i experienced after every single long and heavy cut and this is exactly what i will do when i do my first show.
not sure how to put in diuretics there though, id have to experiment with the conjunction of increasing carbs, water and diuretics beforehand
the more stuff you run the more difficult it is since there are endless possible combinations of AAS, slin, GH, t3, diuretics, food / carb intake, fluid intake, sodium/potassium etc.
while one protocol might work perfectly with AAS alone, adding in another variable such as GH might completely change everything. add diuretics, same thing. add slin, same thing again etc. the combinations become endless
