Heute ist Veteran's Day in den USA, die Bilder dazu gibt es Morgen. Heute nur so viel: es hat mit bikes zu tun.

Aber lasst uns doch selbst Veteranen spielen. Ich bin Triathlon-Veteran und moechte mit einer Reihe recht interessanter Postings unseren "Sportskameraden" postmortem - oder auch praemortem - gedenken.
Lehnt Euch zurueck...

"hello all,

I have made the decision to take either EPO or hgh. This thread is about which will benefit me more at this point in time.

Background and general info: I am a collegiate long distance runner in cross country season this year. I'm not worried about being tested and don't think I would get caught as I'm almost sure they only urine test. Been running since 8th grade which puts me at 7 years of training. Of those 7, I would say 4.5 are in more of a serious necessary manner. I am going to be 20 in January. I may not have been honest with some of you in the past about my age, as I did not want to hear that I shouldn't be taking it, but this is truth. Either way it is what it is, and I will likely take something soon. I feel that I need to take something to get past a plateau I have been in for a while (8 months or so).

Recent: I ran a 16 mile long run yesterday and today did 5x2000m at 5k pace. If this helps, it felt as though my lungs and breathing were fine on the intervals but that my legs were tired. I realize this could be recovery issues (which hgh would help with) and/or could be not getting enough oxygen to the muscle (which epo would help).

Money: I have enough funds to do one or the other. hgh or EPO, not both at this time. I have enough for about 60,000 IU shanghai biochem rediject (already have hct tester, needles, and iron) which I would make about a 9 week cycle. I have enough for about 100 IU hgh ip blue label 191 amino seq. At 2 IU pd, that's 50 days. I read in a thread here that some don't take hgh every 3rd or 4th day as to not mess with the body's production of hgh. this would make for about a 2 month supply, which I don't know if that is enough..

General: I am however, looking to get a little more lean. When I say a little, I mean a little. I'm at 7% BF 5'9" 150lbs and feel that if I lose 5-10 pounds healthily and stay there I would feel phenomenal. 10lbs on the high end.

I have read much more about EPO than about HGH so excuse any ignorance.

Questions:

-At these cycle lengths (9 weeks for epo, 8 weeks for hgh) which would benefit me more?

-Which drug, at my age, is safer? I don't want to mess up my hgh production for good or something wacky like that.

-What is your general opinion of this thread and what I should do?

I'm sure to have left something out. Feel free to leave all the 2 cents you want. Although I have read a fair amount, I'm new so I deserve it.

Thank you for the time.
