50 year old male interested in adding GH to regimen but wanted to hear from some more experienced people

Some background, been in the game a long time with ups and downs and recently coming out of a phase where I sort of let myself go but I'm back on the wagon and feeling good. In my late 20's/early 30's I had goals of competitive bodybuilding and sat around 270-280lbs off-season and around 220lbs or so in shape (not stage ready but in the ballpark). I was never a heavy gear user with max test dosages of 500mg/wk and rarely ran other compounds. I would sometimes use Var in a cut and used Tren once for a cycle (mind blowing drug and probably the best I ever felt in my life) but those days are behind me now.

My goals now are staying healthy, looking good, and most of all...energetic for my kids (I have a 4 year old and a 6 year and a hot wife!) Now for the questions, currently back on TRT after a several year break (test measured 196 so it was desperately needed) at 120mg/wk which is putting my trough right around 950. E2 was at 59 as of last my last bloods (last week) so I did add in a small dose of 60mg Primo for a little estrogen control as I have been having some symptoms of high E2 (weak erections, loss of sensitivity). I'm not a huge fan of anastrozole so I thought I would try the Primo route first. HCG makes my E2 skyrocket but does generally solve the sensitivity issues so maybe as I get leaner it's something I can consider again. I'm considering adding in a small dose of GH, probably starting at 2 units per day and working up to 4 but I've never used it and at my age I guess I wanted to hear everyones opinions on overall safety? I know the usual potential sides like water retention, insulin resistance, etc., but how real are issues like cancer risks, etc.? I feel good about my diet and training right now but just looking for a little boost to keep up with the family and stay in good shape year round. Thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Can mods remove anti ped comments or users please

The sub is enhanced bodybuilding where you talk about guess what? Enhanced bodybuilding.

Can you get rid of noble natties or their annoying rhetoric please.

I am also a member of a subreddit caller r/horror where people recommend and talk about horror films.

I am yet to see anyone coming there to say how bad horror is and how some other genre is better.

Test E PIP &amp; Flu

Hello, does anybody of you experiences 2-3 days of PIP from Test? Also, during the day and day after, my body feels weak, heavy, and lethargic. The feeling of having a flu but no fever. How do you deal with this?

Test E btw is 500mg/mL, dilluting it with Sterile Oil (GSO) with 1:1 ratio to have 250mg per injection. I do this sunday morning and thurs evening.

First test cycle

Ok so I’m thinking of doing a test cycle for 3 months starting with 150mg the first month and depending on my bloodwork/ side effects upping it to 200mg, but what I wanted to know is should I be on HCG while I’m enhanced to keep my balls/fertility in good shape?

Bisschen Hilfe wäre Super

Hallo, ich M42 habe in den letzten 11 Monaten 38kg abgenommen. Derzeit bei 83.5kg Körperfettanteil liegt bei etwa 12% die Haut am Bauch ist etwas schlaff. Ich habe vor einigen Monaten mit Peptieden begonnen und habe am 25.09. mit Testosteron E begonnen. Folgende Dosierungen gibt es:

Testosteron 90mg alle 2 Tage

Retatrutide 1,5mg alle 4 Tage

CJC-1295 mit Dac 1mg alle 4 Tage

Ipamorelin 0,9 mg jeden Tag in 3 Spritzen aufgeteilt

TB-500 1,5mg alle 2 Tage

BPC-157 1,5mg alle 2 Tage

GHK-Cu 2,5mg jeden Tag

Selank und Semax über Nasenspray bei Bedarf

Ich gehe mindestens 6 Tage ins Gym und Baller richtig gut Gewichte.

Soweit so gut jetzt kommen wir zu meinen Fragen:

  1. HCG sinnvoll während der Testosteron gabe?

  2. Wie lange sollte eine Kur dauern?( wollte 20 Wochen durchführen)

  3. Sollten weitere Peptide vermieden werden? (Überlege HGH und Tesamorelin hinzuzufügen, eventuell auch MOTS-C)

  4. Wie ist es beim beenden der Testosteron gabe, welche Medis sind sinnvoll welche wirklich nötig oder einfach weiter auf TRT fahren?

Vielen Dank für die Infos am liebsten offen und direkt😂😂
