Distended abs/HGH/IGF use

have used both igf and hgh before but not alot..now my question is did any of you guys notice any ab/stomach distension and if so what amounts and how long were you on it...I have just started using igf at around 40mcgs per day for about 2 weeks and today started HGH today at 5ius and for some reason i feel my abs becomin distended or i am just paranoid about it...what do you guys think

Probably just holding excess water...I would up the water intake and see if that stops it. Plus, knowing you your just paranoid.
Additionally, since it looks like you are posting this late at night then your stomach is probably just full of fluids,food,cum,etc. Have a look first thing im the AM and let us know.

I hope i read that right, Ip your stomach is full of Cum ..wow!! ROFLMAO!!!!:

:thumbsup:

I didn't get that the first time around, mostly because I didn't eat as much as I probably should have. This time, however, has been a different story. I have been using b12 to help get my appetite going, and I've been eating much more than I usually do so my stomach has bulged out enough to make my wife notice. She thought I might be getting fat except for the fact I tested out at 9.6% bf 1 1/2 weeks ago. So your stomach does tend to bulge out a bit to a lot depending on how much you eat.

i get a seriously distended stomach in the offseason and i have never used gh or igf. i think this is just a myth. people wanna bash the pros for having a distended stomach or anyone who is bigger then them. bottom line is were forcing down two to three times more food then we should be so obviously our stomachs are gonna stretch. not to mention the water in take and carb drinks . man im always drinking something. mine goes down for the most part in when dieting for a show.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I've been eating so much, well, it has to go somewhere, right? I've also had the bulging stomach at times before I ever used any AAS or IGF.

Ok, you guys are talking about this coming from stretching from excess eating? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I though what IP was talking about was due to IGF/GH promoting smooth muscle growth (the muscles around your internal organs). Most of the cases I've heard of were due to extended periods of use 1 yr +, so IP you case must have been from the semen buffet from the night before.

IP was originally talking about the promotion of smooth muscle growth, but I take it from his post that he hasn't used either compound for an extended period of time so I would think it was more caused by eating--which is also evident from the fact that some of us have had distended guts on and off before even touching the stuff.

I've heard differing views on whether or not IGF and hGH actually cause the distended bellies. A lot of pros do have large bellies, but they also eat huge quantities of food--like I said earlier--it has to go somewhere. Consider that when we inject IGF IM for example, there are some whole body effects, but it mainly affects the muscle you injected into. I'd think you'd only be in danger of distention of your gut from IGF or hGH first if you used high amounts for an extended period of time and injected subcutaneously, and then high amounts for a very long time if injected IM. It's hard to say since there isn't much data either way.

I agree with DW and Tony, it's most likely the stuff your swallowing, not what your injecting.

I've read the whole intestine and receptor theory and don't feel like the low doses we use and the short periods we are using them are causing that much tissue growth in 2 weeks. I mean IGF is some killer shit, but, not 2 -3 inches in the waist in 2 weeks.

No exageration, I counted eating over 10,000 calories one day on a test, eq, igf cycle. It does not take a genius to figure out why my belly was growing.

i havent done much research on igf or gh cuz i havent planned on using it since i cant afford it lol. but can someone fill me in on the soft tissue growth in the stomach? where exactly is the tissue being affected

Its actually the intestines. There are a shitload of IGF receptors in the intestines. Some feel that if IGF is administered subcutaneously, especially in the abdominal area, it will attach itself to the intestines and cause them to grow, which causes the distended gut. I'm not sure if this is scientifically sound info, just passing on what I've read. If administered IM, it affects the muscle its injected into more so than any other part of the body. However, it will still have an overall effect on total body composition.

EM 10,000 CALORIES HOLY SHIT!!!

Damn EW, that is alot of munching....10,000 cal is insane, but can blame you for that...eat like animal to look like one...

I ate 22 chicken pot pies one day and my belly grew 4 or 5". I also had extreme constipation and explosive vomiting, lol.

Gross, explosive vomiting.... eeekkk!! LOL
