SHORT STORY
Looking if anyone can give me reccomendations on using HGH to speed up and enhance the recovery from the shoulder surgery I am about to undergo. Been lifting and doing mixed martial arts for over 3 years.
Looking for advice on:
-What IU's to start with
-WHEN should I take it? (Directly following operation, or 3 months out when I begin physical therapy, or 6 months out when I can finally lift heavily and do MMA)
-Cant afford much, I'm thinking 3 cycles or around 12-18 weeks worth max. Is this simply a waste of time in that case?
-Is the GH useful for improved healing on its own, or do I need other gear? I'm only looking for improved/faster healing and to increase the number of muscle cells in my shoulder
LONG STORY
I'm a 20 year old college student, I consider myself very active. The one hobby in my life that keeps me from going insane is Mixed Martial Arts, I live to train. Unfortunately, my body constantly screams out against it.
At age 17 I developed rotator cuff problems, which soon turned into recurrent shoulder dislocations (BAD ones). I underwent an arthroscopic Bankarts repair on my shoulder to repair the damage, and since then things have been going great, and the shoulder has held up perfectly.
That is, until, a few days ago, where I 'rolled' (that means wrestled with submissions) against a 310 lb butterball. Stupid decision. He got on top and sprawled his weight on top of me when I was on all fours, and it was so much that it literally made my shoulder collapse and RUINED the surgery I had gotten years previously.
Now, I'm having to go a much more severe surgery, an OPEN bankharts repair (much larger incision, much more invasive), which HOPEFULLY will eventually see me on the mats again (but not against sumo wrestlers anymore).
Anyways, this is the last surgery I can undergo ''healthily''. Anything after this and I'm looking at not having a right arm anymore.
I've read about and am SERIOUSLY considering cycling GH for a few months after my surgery to make sure I get all the recovery I can possibly get. Is this a good idea at such a young age? I have an offer from a professional bodybuilding trainer (friend of mine) for $400 a cycle, is this a good deal? He said I would need around 3 months to get the results I desired.
Just wondering if any of you guys know an optimal cycle length, and whether or not this is a good deal for GH. Was thinking of starting out anywhere from 1 to 2 IU's per day...
ANY help would be appreciated. I'm at a real low point in my life right now, I can barely even lift my arm . I just cant wait to get this surgery behind me and hopefully develop my strength and flexibility back as much as it was.
Personally you are better off using low doses of anabolics. At age 20 and very few studies avalible on the effects on HGH on those younger then 35yrso. It is one thing to shut down your testies it's another to screw with the natural output that your body puts out of HGH. Afterall it would really suck if at the age of 20 you had to use HGH the rest of your life and expensive. I have run it just about everyday for all most 3 yrs (3-4ius) and it has not helped one injury that I have had. At 56 they come up all the time. BTW at 20 just do what the Drs recommend and you will be fine.
