We have a lot of vets on this board. Most of the guys I still see here have been members for over a decade. I say this cause it most likely means you guys have more experience than me and can give some good feedback in this aas realm. I know HGH can cause your body to grow in strange ways even though you've stopped growing in height, similar to acromegaly. I've ran about 7-8 kits and dabbled with CJC and what ever other GH inducing peptides that exist and stopped about 10 years ago. This isn't much, but I did notice some things about my body that changed after the first two kits.
I have no proof on anything I'm about to speculate (other than some measurements and pics), but maybe some of you guys can relate, and these questions have been on my mind for years. So, when I first started bodybuilding (not competing) I was 17.. by 23 I decided to get more serious with a very small amount of aas (2nd cycle), was able to attain 10% bf at 6'1 weighing about 225 with a 33inch waist. That's nothing crazy, but I was extremely aesthetic with a beautiful v-taper. Could have done some damage in physique, if it existed then. ....I wanted to compete on the big show, so shortly after I began bulking for the next 3 years straight (the first 2.5 years completely natural). I ate, breath, slept the life and grew to 280lbs in a lean bulk, still roughly 10% bf. Then, I decided it was time to go nuts. I ran about a gram total per week of test deca, and 2 kits of high grade HGH. I blew up another 35lbs in 4 or so months. My hips began popping getting in and out of cars. I also developed a chronic belching issue that has never gone away to this day. At the time I didn't think much about it. I kept running kits here and there until about 34. So when I was around 35, I attained my peak condition in life. Yet, I noticed my waist was 3 inches bigger and I was in single digit BF, leaner than I was at "23". I still had some belts from all the way back then and they wouldn't begin to fit. I was like wtf and you can see it in the mirror. I'm 240lbs 6 weeks out with a much more developed back and the v-taper is trash. You can literately see me strike the same pose I held when I was 23 and see a massive difference in the taper. It was like the bone structure of my hips grew... My stomach was flat AF, not distended at all but now i have a 36 waist, taped.
Fast forward to mid 40's. Over the summer, I've had a super physical. Had MRI's on my knees, back, shoulders, hips, elbow and every test a cardiologist can order. Well, came back with a surprise in my hips. Was shown that both sides of my hip have cam impingement that require surgery. I spoke with two surgeons and told them about the HGH in the past and how my my waist is now 36 inches at best. I asked if HGH had any correlation with my waist and the impingements. They both said no. I began thinking that these guys probably don't know shit about growth hormone and there aren't exactly any infamous case studies on bodybuilders and growth.
What do you guys think?? Impossible?
