When to start GH?

[OnceNatty]

I'm 5 weeks away from the end of my 3rd cycle which is 500mg Test E and now on 20mg/day Var for the last 6 weeks...show on 10/17.
I have some GH coming in and at 2iu per day, will last me 6 months.
Question is, when to start this? I know I'll wait until after this show as I don't want to risk my condition without knowing how my body will respond, so do I start it when I start PCT, wait the 12 weeks off and start with my next cycle?
Next cycle will be 12 weeks after this one ends and will be 500 E/week, NPP at some rate (not sure yet), and this GH...just don't know when to start it.

I'm 57 yrs old btw

I’m assuming you don’t have a coach, so my advice is based on that (if you do, listen to them).

The water GH adds varies but it will come off fast if you pull it, within a few days. So I would add it in when you get it and see if the added fullness will be a plus to your stage physique, or if the water is hurting your detail. GH has a big synergy with testosterone, because in the presence of sufficient estradiol (e2) it will convert at a greater rate to IGF1 (which is how it builds muscle and adds fullness).

Because it’s going to make you more full and burn fat a tad faster, and help sleep a little in prep too. Take it at night, regardless of meal timing, because exogenous GH works regardless of the presence of insulin/food. IM or subq does not matter either; IM just gets it in 20-40 minutes sooner. But you can pin it anywhere convenient.

Or if you’re paranoid to try or getting it too close to the show to even experiment, just start it after. It will help hold your physique in the time off blast.

Also, are you really going to PCT when you’re still cycling? Why not use TRT?

Thank you fo rthe GH info! Good stuff to know. I'll see when it arrive and se if I have enought time to start it and make adjustments if needed.

I have been cycling totally off of test after 12 weeks so I need to go through a proper PCT, yes? I've been doing Nolva @40/40/20/20/

I'm curious, do you get blood work after PCT? I'm wondering what your numbers come back at given that you're in your late 50s.

Also, I don't know how much free time you have and if it's even something you'd be interesting in doing. But I'd love to hear about your training and diet as you go through contest prep in your 50s or how it even used to be in your 40s versus now. I'm currently 41 and I'm still able to eat like a goddamn child when it comes to how it looks visibly on me, but I no longer feel that good when I eat like that lol, I'm also constantly fighting injuries and battling myself from lifting too heavy and I know all the right things I'm supposed to be doing but it's really hard to mentally make that shift. I'd love to hear about how your diet and training have evolved in your 40s and 50s.
