Thanks for that - when you stopped the GH did you stop everything, or just that and stay on the gear?
I'm just wondering how quickly those great benefits begin to fade away. For example, I presume you had to watch your diet more closely again once the magic wore off?
I only knew of 2 or 3 people taking it way back when I was doing stuff. I don't remember the doses but I'm guessing they were very small compared to nowadays, and more or less just to hold onto muscle while on a starvation diet (we'd read that insane Mentzer diet where he was only eating half a pear and a gimlet of vodka a day or some shit like that!) LOL shame nobody told us about the cheeseburgers ![Grin ;D](http://www.getbig.com/boards/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)
After almost 18 months I tapered down to 4iu (2 iu twice a day) for a few months and then stopped taking GH completely. My job changed and i had to travel a lot for work which makes taking GH almost impossible.
The thing is i did follow a strict diet most of the time, but i remember when i was bulking for 4 months i ate everything in sight and didn't gain any fat at all, it was amazing. But i generally follow a strict diet 8 months out of the year, more for health than to stay lean.
But i did notice after i had been off the GH completely for about 2-3 months i looked softer and gained an inch on my waist. Pants felt tighter and the mirror never lies. I lost 5 pounds or so and gained bodyfat, so there is really no telling how much of the gains i kept.
The AAS came down a little as well, but i believe i was still on about a gram of AAS. Still training hard, just backed it down a bit because i realized this size game is stupid and not for me. Spending nearly a grand on GH per month was very stupid, but i had the money so it was an interesting experiment.
IMO it works like this:
1-4iu = anti-aging / wellness / mild fat loss
4-8iu = good fat loss and mild muscle gain
8-12iu = insane fat loss and muscle gain, very hard to gain fat
