If like to give it a go at some point but it seems like it's expensive and hard to source. Has anyone had good experience with peptides? Maybe peptides and mk-677? If be interested in running under the righ circumstances. But a couple vials of test and some dbol seem like a much better bang for my buck. Test is so cheap that even with ancillaries and pct it just seems to make more sense. Then again if I can across a reliable and affordable hgh source my opinion might change. But half of the Hgh stories I read are about fakes. Very rarely hear about bunk cypionate.
I agree that GH has a lot of fakes out there, while not too many people feel the need to underdose test, which is, relatively speaking, dirt cheap.
Sounds like your genetics are similar to mine. While I don't consider myself huge, I don't need high doses of gear to put on size, and need extremely little to keep my size. Staying lean, however, is a different story. I prepped for a few natural shows in the old days, so I learned a lot about how my body responds to diet. So I clearly know what to do to get and stay lean, but I have to be very diligent to stay ripped, and that gets old after a while. The GH helps me to stay lean, but it doesn't cause fat to just melt away for me like I've heard some people say. I think those people have pretty strong metabolisms.
You asked about peptides. I'm presently taking 20mg of MK-677 at night before bed, and I think it works. You'll hold a bit of water on it, but I do think it helps with staying lean. You should give that a try. I ran Ipamorelin at 100-200mcg at night before, and I don't think it is as effective as the MK-677. I've also run GHRP-2 at 100mcg in the morning about 15-30min after I pin my GH to use that as a boost, but it made me so hungry, it wasn't worth it. I thought GHRP-6 was bad for hunger pangs, but the GHRP-2 is pretty bad as well.
So right now I'm running 3IU/day in the morning, and 20mg MK-677 at night. I bet if I stopped running both, I'd drop about 5 pounds of water weight in a week. That's just a guess.
