are we just going to completley ignore looxs transformation?Steroids/peptides don't influence height/facial bones significantly/at all
The meta-analysis Finkelstein et al. (2002) puts the final nail in the coffin
It's about GH treatment for growth velocity and adult height in children
Inclusion criteria for studies are:
- Idiopathic short stature (turbo manlet for reason 404) <10th percentile height
- Normal GH levels
- No other illnesses
-> Mostly applicable study design
-> In total data of 1089 patients
GH was used at 0.14 to 0.40 mg/kg per week for a minimum of 6 months:
- Daily dose for a 30kg child: 1.8-5.1IU
-> Translated dose for a 70kg adolescent: 4.2-12IU ed
Growth velocity was increased for the GH group by 1. year: 2.86 ± 0.37 cm/y, 2. year: 2.36 ± 0.36 cm/y > control group
GH group increased adult height by 5-6cm > control group

What this mean nigga? View attachment 4126834
- Increasing adult height as a ~7yo turbo manlet requires megadoses of GH for years
-> You won't grow a molecule with your "stack"
Additional suifuel:
- Generic GH (~$1-1.5/IU) > UGL GH (~$0.3-0.5/IU) in terms of effectivity due to quality (debatable)
-> Even higher dosages above 12IU required, meaning even higher costs
The truth: Height is determined by ~12000 genes.
Because estradiol is important for a ton of tissues/organs. Would you try your luck to become 2-3cm taller in exchange for:
- Stunted brain development, neurotoxicity
- Spinal issues, problems with bones in general
- Nuked lipid profile
- Raped liver and kidneys
- Worse muscle hypertrophy,
- Trash skin quality, worse with exemestane
- Hair loss, even worse with exemestane
- Mental problems
This means keeping E2 on the higher range comes with much better benefits.

and this is such a polarizing thread to like every other looksmaxxers words on hgh theres a lot of people seeming to be getting gains on it, a lot of praise for hgh w whatever sciencecel slop theyre talking about, surely theres decent truth to that side too, i dont think this is conclusive to just make everyone rope
also i just had Chatgpt analyze the entire article you sent the kids were on ~0.9iu/bodyweight kg so 30kg/7 = is like 4 IU daily, and over the course of an year gaining an inch in height is pretty good, thats no where near the danger levels of 12iu/daily that some lab rats talk about
the study also never said anything about the exact brand of the vials, how much IU each patient got per injection daily, it just stuck with mg/kg/week
like you said the study was also done on literal bottom 1-2% shortest turbomanlets for their age, and knowing how complex our body knows who fucking knows what other underlying issues could've been nerfing them, I don't think its fair to say that because these extremely rare group of manlet kids getting put on 4iu injections and gaining 1 inch/yr means HGH is a cope method,
the study wasn't done on normal boys who are like 5'7 - 5'9 for their age, rather it was done on 5'0 to 5'3 turbomanlets, just imagine how much more differently the more normal boys for the age group like 5'7 to 5'9 would've reacted to it compared to the turbomanlet 4'11s, which would've been better since most of us here who want to heightmax fall into the 5'7 to 5'10 territory wanting to get to 6'0+
Also again look at loox the dude just doubled in height and frame i doubt thats genetics
