Sharp increase in teen use of HGH

Absolutely an incorrrect estimate. Give HS kids any anonymous survey with some "bad" answers, and they'll fill those in just for the hell of It.

I would bet a lot of money exactly zero girls took off-label HGH in my high school.

Apparently it's not actually that hard to get, what with LRC putting up ads for it themselves...

Do you understand how these ads work? It's triggered by the words in the thread.

Sure, of course. My point is that you'd think they would filter what comes through. It wouldn't be that hard to filter ads for something frequently used as a performance enhancing drug in this sport.

My first thought would be to agree that it would be too expensive, but when I go back to my old high school - the number of kids with tattoos is astounding...tattoos aren't cheap.

Speaking strictly toward the cost - my point is, if you can afford a sleeve of tattoos you can afford HGH.

Still 11% seems high. I knew of probably 10 out of 400 kids in my high school class that took steroids, and only a few of those were on a very regimented cycle.

I graduated a couple years ago from a public HS in a wealthy/upper-middle class white suburb.

According to the annual state drug survey we were forced to take, our school had an extremely high rate of heroin and crack cocaine addiction.

No. HGH is something like $2k a month for a solid program. And you don't see immediate results.

Tattoo sleeves are about 2-4k all together.

You are one of the only person that understands a thing in this thread.

Decent amount of gh costs 2k a month. Plus you're going to have to have it shipped to you and stored in a fridge. Unless the parent is complicit in the doping, there is no way this is happening.

Not only that—rapid-shipped to you in a special refrigerated container, stored in the fridge, AND injected every night with a supply of sterile needles. There might be a handful of kids around the country whose parents know an 'anti-aging' doc and are complicit with it, or some short/skinny kids who go to doctors overprescribing HGH, but it's nowhere near 10%. Nowhere even near 1%.

Reputable studies usually include some bogus questions about non-existent drugs to try to filter out for that, but yes this is probably an issue as well. Not sure if this study took that precaution.

100iu kits cost about $300 on the black market. If you're running 5 days on and 2 days off, 4iu per day (which is supra-physiological levels for damn near anyone), that $300 is going to last roughly 5 weeks. The needles and bacteriostatic water might add a little to the cost, but not much.

That's about $60/week, or $3K PER YEAR.

Y'all don't think a kid can hide a 1 inch tall x 1/2 inch wide vial in the fridge? Hell, some kids probably don't even need to hide it from their parents.

That being said, while I can see some boys using this stuff, the percentages cited are certainly off by a factor of at least 10x.

Yeah, I agree that the stat is bullshlt.

This brings to mind something the geez said about the next doping horizon, doping up kids before the biologic passport is started, or doping them up and keeping them out of a testing pool until they are ready, and then unleashing these monsters on an unsuspecting public. If this kind of stuff is happening in the USA, how much do you think is happening in countries where they really don't care? Wait and see what China produces over the next 10 years, omg

That is Chinese junk you moron. That stuff likely doesn't have any GH in it. Real GH is closer to $1000 for a 100 iu kit. A healthy teenager is producing nearly 2iu/gh a day anyway, so you can calculate how much they'll need to see real benefits beyond their natural production.

Search on eroids.com. there are top sources list and people write their reviews on each shop.

But if you are really worried about quality, you should go to local pharmacy and buy Norditropin, Seizen etc. Or you can travel, for example, to Ukraine and Russia and buy Jintropin, looks like:

,for much lower price in pharmacy.

Ok, where do they get these? I wondered a few years ago and tried to see if it was easy. I had no luck at all. So, wondering how these people get these so easily, and I live where there are several gyms and found no one willing or knowing where to get some.

No way 10% of HS kids use HGH. No way. Period. End of story.

Its a daily injection I believe and will make you hairy as an ape probably. I'm sure a lot of HS girls are lining up to inject that. Get real people.

* 9% of highschool girls have tried HGH*

Bullshite.

That's somebody's propaganda.

Zatopek, you knew guys back in the day.

I'd rather hear some real stories.
