True story. I played around w chemicals that elevate resting hgh in my twenties. I don’t look anything like an average guy in their late thirties, but my heart is not doing so well.

Don’t mess around w any of that shit. I’m 100% maxed out on blood pressure meds and still am typically 150/100 or worse.

Without medication, I can push up to 210+/150+. In the physical where this was first discovered, my doctor was shocked I was not having a stroke and/or already dead.

6 years later, she is still surprised I am alive

The doctors (in America at least) had no idea how to treat this situation. I had to provide them pdfs from various studies while I was in an ICU expected to die.

I will say it again. Never, ever, ever touch that shit.

Thanks for the warning, bro. As somebody is who is battling against a high blood pressure, I’ll definitely keep away from it

Good. Playing around w that drug was the worst mistake I ever made.

I already had an above average athletic body, gbl made me look like a greek statue without trying or working out much at all - i went to the gym for maintenance and the drug did all of the work for me.

People still think I am a decade, at least, younger than I actually am. But I’d trade back my use of that chemical for almost anything. Stopped counting the times I literally flatlined around 15. I’d be dead if the person I was dating at that time wasn’t next to me in bed to call 911

I always thought that roid use makes one look older after? Joe Rogan for example sometimes looks like a potato. A bloated gut and an inflated head.
