Thread: HGH bloat

What's up brothers looking for some advice/info from experienced GH users.

177lbs
6ft 1in
12 %bf

Currently on:

Test c 200mg weekly

400mg primo e weekly

Ramping up to 4ius daily split morning/ afternoon.

Did a pre blood check up eveything was in order before starting this cycle. Actually the healthiest I've ever been in all catagories.


So I started some somastim a week ago. I've already notice a lot of bloat. I've been running sort of lean lately so it was very noticable. I know this is a side effect. I have a trip to Aruba in about 10 weeks. I want to be a shredded machine obvously.
So my concerns are when does the bloat tend to fade off? Should I still eat like a beast will I be able to stay lean? I attached my diet macros. The carbs are a bit higher after starting the GH.

Thoughts, advice or anything is welcome brothers. Just dont want to be a bloated mess come Aruba time.

Indeed, as a very potent anabolic hormone the GH causes mineral retention which manifest itself in some bloating, I would consider it as a good sign, and it's quite easy to get rid of this extra fluids within a co8ple of days simply by lowering the dosage of the GH to 2iu, and playing the macros (lowering carbs) as well as the micros (sodium why raisng potasium)

I cut completely the GH 10 days before a show with competitive BB by the way

I recommend starting at 1iu and ramp up very slowly over months to avoid water retention. You started too high or increased too fast this is why you're bloated.

Your sweet spot may not be 4ius. You don't choose your HGH dosage it chooses it for you.

What is your current protocol?
Lower your sodium intake, drink Plenty of water.
500mg of dandilion root 2x/day.

& nice work on those delts especially keepn those rear delts balanced with the front & sides!!

I drink plenty of water and my sodium if anything is low. I eat super clean. I actually noticed some bloat go down. But I went from 177 to 182 withing a few days keeping the same diet. And the abs went away so its gotta be water retention. I've noticed carpel tunnel in my thumb and my wrist hurts sometimes. No numbness though.

My protocol call was 1 iu a day for a few days then I upped it to 2. Going to slowly bring it to 4 iu split morning/afternoon.

Ive heard Somastims come with very little water compared to other hgh brands out there almost on par with human grade, so that is somewhat suprising. Dandelion Leaf ( not root ) really helps, it almost makes me piss too much where it becomes a hassle.
