Human growth hormone or steroids which is better for Muscle?

When we talk about making use of body building supplements for a better muscle buildup and better body structure, we have mainly two options. Either people can use HGH or use Steroids for faster results. In order to enjoy faster results, people use both of these to have more masculine body.  However there lies a big difference between their mechanisms of giving intended results on the users. They show their peculiar effects on the users, so which one should  be your choice and the common notion that HGH are better than Steroids is correct or not, we are going to reveal it here.

Human Growth Hormone and Steroids

The Human growth hormones are naturally synthesized by specialized somatropins cells present in the pituitary gland. Chemically they are protein compounds also constituting of 191 amino acids. Responsible for the improved metabolism and other crucial body functions Growth Hormones also help in tissue repair, cell division, and release of other enzymes and hormones in blood.Growth hormone + physical activity increases the muscle cells in size and multiplies them by promoting growth of new ones.

On the other side Steroids are not just one term and they include anabolic steroids and corticosteroids as well. Both of these have a differentiated origin and functionality. While Corticosteroids have the capability of removing swelling and inflammation in a pacified manner and so they are used in treatment of conditions like arthritis. Anabolic steroids is a ergogenic performance enhancing class of steroids that have the capability of protein synthesis, boosting physical energy, improving endurance and building up more stamina.Steroids + physical activity generally increase your muscle cells in size.

 

Human body is a highly adaptive, energy efficient “machine” it is designed to sustain only as much muscle as is needed for each individual’s daily physical strain. A person used to doing heavy physical work (lumberjack, athlete, etc) will have much bigger muscle mass compared to non physically active individuals. Should an active person reduce his daily physcal strain his body will gradually adapt by reducing the excess muscle mass – so as not to feed and carry it around if it’s not needed.

The same works the other way around – if a physically inactive individual starts going to the gym on a regular basis his body will gradually adapt to the new hardship by growing more muscle mass in order cope with the person pysical activity level.

The speed and intensivity of the muscle building process is increased by introducing steroids or human growth hormone. Steroids rapidly inflate the existing muscle cells with protein and water while growth hormone stimulates growth of new muscle cells in addition to inflating the existing ones.

No matter if muscle mass was gained with the help of steroids, human growth hormone or hard work alone, the body will reduce it if it’s no longer needed. In theory HGH users should retain more muscle mass because of the increase in quantity of muscle cells, but don’t count on anyone noticing it:) If your physical activity goes down, so will your muscles – no matter how they were gained.

How do I up my GH?

Well that’s the point everyone was hoping I’d get to. GH concentration is improved through four key facets of bodybuilding: training, rest, nutrition, and supplementation.

Training

The first way to stimulate GH release naturally is training. Intense workouts, energy-consuming events, and long periods of physical exhaustion are keys in releasing more; these catabolic states require extra protein synthesis—and in the case of energy-consumption, fat metabolization to make up for glycogen depletion.

This is no doubt the most potent kind of GH release, as it’s targeted to meet the demands of the bodybuilder. Of course I’m not telling you anything new (I hope) when I say you have to work out to gain muscle mass. Moreover, the production of this GH is a direct reaction to a catabolic state that is not optimal to those looking for gains.

“Intense workouts, energy-consuming events and long periods of physical exhaustion are keys in releasing more Growth Hormone.

I learned in my first year of physiology that GH can be manipulated. The general rule of thumb when working out is never to train longer than 45 minutes, because that’s when GH tapers off and cortisol production sets in. But the half-life of HGH can be influenced.

If you train 40 minutes for a month, then increase it by 2 minutes every month, after 10 months, you could train for an hour without inducing a catabolic state. No one has ever tested how far you can push the envelope, but that much is a proven fact. At this point I see no use for working out longer than an hour. Anyone using moderate to heavy intensity should be able to finish 25 sets in that time.

The highest I use right now, being a competitor myself, is 22 sets for back. Since I’m still growing, I feel that’s enough. And since you have to match recovery to training intensity and vice versa, 25 or more sets would necessitate at least 4500-5000 calories, maybe more. My stomach just isn’t that big.

Rest

75 percent of your total daily HGH output is produced while sleeping, and most of that in REM sleep. This ais yet another reason to get a good night’s sleep, in case that hasn’t quite dawned on you. Though cat naps may help a bit, it’s unlikely that you can induce a deep-enough sleep to start producing GH.

This GH, in any case, is not nearly as potent as the other kinds. It is produced as a response to a need for sleep protection and a need for energy repletion for the next day, rather than in response to a need for extra energy. That said, without the GH produced through proper rest, other sources of GH will not be used as efficiently. Getting at least 8-10 hours of sleep is a sacrifice everyone should consider making if you want to get big in a hurry.

Also, the regularity of your sleeping pattern could promote more REM cycles and result in more hormonal output. So keeping steady hours of rest is beneficial. If you are one to stay out late on weekends, it may be best to still wake up at the same time instead of sleeping in. Otherwise you may disturb your sleeping pattern.

If you are used to sleeping from 10-8, but on weekends you get home at 1, sleep until 8 and add a one-hour nap every afternoon for the next 3 days to make up for the lack of sleep. But if at all possible, maintain steady hours.

Nutrition

Nutrition is probably the most important section of this article for the natural bodybuilder looking to make the most of his GH. Naturally, I have to ask you to take the past two paragraphs into regard before continuing here. You can’t expect gains from nutrition or supplementation if your recovery is not adequately adapted.

The search for natural GH secretagogues (substances that cause other substances to be secreted) begins with the most basic of nutrients. Yup, you guessed it (or you read it in the previous article): amino acids. But for aminos to have optimal effect, you need to make sure that 15-20 percent of your diet consists of clean fats. These induce cholesterol, the storage of the base hormone in the body that leads to the manufacture of most steroidogenic hormones.

“Take your stack, whichever aminos it ends up consisting of, 45 minutes prior to your workout for maximal levels of Growth Hormone.”

The ultimate goal of this paragraph is to give you a complete stack of amino acids that can synergistically produce more GH, but most amino acids should be helpful. In this particular instance, I’ll list the supplements in order of their importance for GH production, not the order of their importance to overall health.

These doses are the best range for maximizing GH in a pre-workout stack. If you have antiaging properties in mind, smaller doses will work as well.

How much muscle if inject hgh ?

How much muscle by injecting Human Growth Hormone?
One of the most frequently asking questions is how much muscle they will get by using growth hormone.
1. Every person’s body responds differently to somatropin and the results depend on many factors. If done in optimal conditions one can put on between 20% – 30% of lean muscle during a 4-5 months long HGH therapy. The results become noticeable 2 months later.
2.The amount of muscle gained by injecting HGH depends on many factors including one’s daily physical strain (workout), genetics, diet, age, quality and quantity of sleep, lifestyle, previous usage of steroids or HGH, etc.
By a very rough estimate an overall healthy first time HGH user who is in good shape, works out 3-5 times per week, sleeps at least 7 hours per night and eats a protein rich diet can expect to gain between 20 – 30 percent of muscle mass within 4-5 months. Or if I put it differently – at the dose of 4IU per day, growth hormone will help an already active individual push past his previous muscle building limit by 20% to 30%.
Results from the first HGH cycle are always the most drastic – no subsequent cycle will match the success of the initial one. This might be because:
In initial cycle the body is surprised by the high levels of HGH (and consequently IGF-1). By the time it develops the ability to control such levels of HGH/IGF, the muscle ceiling has already expanded by 20% – 30%.
After the initial HGH cycle (or steroid use) the muscle growth “ceiling” is already pretty high. The body is designed to retain just enough muscle as is needed for the person’s daily work routines. Excess muscle is gradually removed.
An active individual using growth hormone to build muscle eventually reaches his “muscle ceiling” (his personal best) during every HGH cycle, but to him the result might not feel that impressive after the first time – he has seen it before. Continue reading How much muscle if inject hgh ?
