Human Growth Hormone, as previously mentioned, is frequently stacked with anabolic steroids due to its synergistic effect with these hormones. HGH and anabolic steroids assist each other in various direct and indirect pathways in the human body in order to maximize the potential of muscle growth and/or fat loss in any given cycle. Human Growth Hormone cycles also commonly include stacks with other types of compounds as well, such as insulin and T3 (thyroid hormone), which has been covered in the previous section of this profile.
Athletes and bodybuilders considering HGH use should be aware that this is an advanced compound that is best suited to advanced anabolic steroid users, athletes, and bodybuilders. The utmost advanced of athletes and anabolic steroid users will have often reached what is otherwise known as a ‘dead end’ in terms of their athletic progress. With training and nutrition aspects as perfect as they can be, and with all results of other anabolic steroid use grinding to slow halts, the advanced athlete must look to more promising endeavors that will allow him/her to push past this dead-end. This ‘dead-end’ is often caused by the individual’s progress having advanced so far that he/she has reached the limits of their genetic potential (the limits in terms of the maximum amount of muscle mass and strength that the human body will allow according to the person’s genetics). In order to push past this, the use of GH cycles provides an interesting opportunity here where hyperplasia (the growth of new muscle cells as opposed to the enlarging of existing ones) is what should assist a ‘dead-end’ athlete in rising past their limitations. The use of Human Growth Hormone and IGF-1 in conjunction with anabolic steroids is believed to be the number one reason as to why top tier professional bodybuilders suddenly in the late 1980s and early 1990s appeared ‘freakishly’ huge and even more ‘ripped’ than the bodybuilders of the 1980s and prior.
The length of HGH cycles and the manner in which they are run is highly dependent on the goal(s) in question, as well as what other compounds, if any, are being stacked and utilized with Human Growth Hormone. The length of a Growth Hormone cycle in which Human Growth Hormone is utilized on its own, for example, will always be a much longer cycle in duration than cycles involving the use of anabolic steroids alongside it. Just as one cannot pinpoint specific doses attributed to the three tiers of users (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), the same can be said for GH cycles. Therefore, cycles here will be discussed in terms of goals rather than the three user tier types. Every reader must also be under the understanding that Human Growth Hormone is an advanced compound to begin with.

Human Growth Hormone Cycles As Defined By Goals and Types of Use
Human Growth Hormone fat loss cycle (4 – 6 months cycle length)
– Human Growth Hormone at 4 – 6IU per day
This is the utmost basic of GH cycles due to the fact that a moderate dose is utilized, and that HGH itself is run on its own with no other compounds. Therefore, muscle mass gains and strength gains are not generally going to be prominent until at least 3 or 4 months into the cycle. Even once the anabolic effects have slowly begun to manifest, it will still not be as dramatic as an anabolic steroid cycle. Therefore, fat loss is the primary goal here, where a dose of 4 – 6IU per day should provide decent but steady fat loss at the low end of the dose range, and more dramatic (but still steady) fat loss at the higher end of the range.
Human Growth Hormone cycle stack (4 – 6 months cycle length)
Months 1 – 6:
– Human Growth Hormone at 4 – 6IU per day
Months 3 – 6:
– Testosterone Cypionate at 400mg/week
– Trenbolone Enanthate at 400mg/week
This is considered a solid cycle for an individual who wishes to experience every effect with a dramatic result: fat loss, as well as muscle gain. Testosterone Cypionate and Trenbolone Enanthate are both long-estered anabolic steroids and therefore are best suited for longer cycles (in this case, the aim is a 3 month or 12 week cycle of each). One will notice that the anabolic steroids are not inserted into the HGH cycle until a later date (3 months into Human Growth Hormone use). This is because the nature of Human Growth Hormone is that its effects are very slow and steady to build in the human body, and its noticeable effects will not ‘kick-in’ or occur until approximately 3 months of consistent use. Any potential user should ideally be absolutely certain that the effects of Human Growth Hormone have reached full peak and potency before the addition of anabolic steroids, which will serve to provide an absolutely explosive amount of intense muscle growth experienced. The anabolic steroid Trenbolone in particular serves as an excellent addition to Human Growth Hormone, due to its strong nutrient partitioning effects as well as the fact that Trenbolone is known to generate vast increases in IGF-1 levels, which will further serve to work in tandem with Human Growth Hormone’s effects. This stack and cycle in general should prove to be an excellent fat loss as well as muscle-building cycle (especially once the introduction of anabolic steroids is commenced).
Human Growth Hormone cycle stack (4 – 6 months cycle length)
Months 1 – 6:
– Human Growth Hormone at 4 – 6IU per day
Months 3 – 6:
– Testosterone Cypionate at 100mg/week
– Trenbolone Enanthate at 400mg/week
Months 5 – 6
– Anavar at 80mg/day
– T3 at 75mcg/day
This particular GH cycle is almost identical to the one prior, but this specifically a cycle that favors fat loss exclusively. It is also a cycle that can be utilized as a pre-contest stack, as it will provide a very lean and hard physique favorable for a competition. Testosterone has been reduced to a TRT dose of 100mg weekly in order to merely maintain normal physiological function of Testosterone in the absence of endogenous Testosterone levels that have been suppressed by the use of anabolic steroids. This TRT dose of Testosterone also serves to control Estrogen levels so as to eliminate the possibility of Estrogen-related bloating that will provide a soft and puffy look to the physique that is undesirable during periods of fat loss or pre-contest. T3 is added into the cycle during the last month in order to maximize fat loss and bring the individual down to the absolute lowest digits of body fat percentage.
