... Please post up your real world experiences ATL, I want to pick your brain and figure this out!
Majutusu pm'd me for info on cycles I have used and GH result, so I will post that response here, as it is of interest to others following this thread. I do believe GH makes a HUGE difference in gains that can be realized when combined with AAS, insulin, and thyroid hormones, but I think alot of lack of positive results guys note is because of improper usage of GH and/or failure to combine with insulin and t3, which work synergistically with the GH at prodcuing IGF1 in th eliver and resulting muscle mass gains.

Re: intro and question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do keep VERY thorough records of my cycles and results, but I prefer not to share those details online with someone I don't know. I hope you understand.
I will tell you that GH was the factor to help me take my goals to "the next level." I've tried anywhere from 4-8iu/d at different times, seeming to cross a threshold when i went from 4 to 6, but not going up again to eight; I would like to up that again to see if I cross another threshold, but cost is always a factor too! Since this was the only new component added to my regime at one time, I could conclude that this was the biggest (only?) factor in enhancning my results.
In a nutshell, it seems that the GH allowed me to eat huge amounts of macronutrients without adding much fat while bulking. When used in cutting, I could not be as conclusive, as there were more variables in the strategy (diet and chemistry,) but I am convinced that GH allows one to retain more lean muscle mass when cutting than if it were not used.
Lean mass growth aside, I think it is important not to overlook that GH will aid in growth and strengthening of supportive tisuues (ligaments and tendons, etc.) which AAS do not. This of course helps to avoid injuries caused by the muscles gaining stregth so quickly that the connective tissues can't "keep up" and fail under the load of heavy training weights.
Does that help?
