HEIGHT : 178 cm
dad : 178 cm
mom: 168 cm
GOAL: 185+
Running this for 6–12 months, then getting an X-ray of the wrist/hand to check plate closure.
Main stack
• HGH (Human Growth Hormone):
Dose: 4 IU per day.
Timing: Inject before bed (fasted). Nighttime is generally preferred for height as natural GH peaks during deep sleep.
Why: Directly stimulates bone growth and cartilage expansion while plates are open.
• Testoterone
Dose: 250mg – 300mg per week (split into two injections, e.g., Mon/Thu).
Why: At 16, your natural T is high. This dose boosts levels above baseline to drive muscle and bone density without shutting down your HPTA axis completely. It signals the body to grow faster but requires estrogen control.
• Estrogen Blocker (AI):
Compound: Arimidex (Anastrozole).
Dose: 0.5mg every 4 days (approx. twice a week).
Why: Testosterone converts to Estrogen. High estrogen closes growth plates faster than high testosterone. You need enough estrogen for bone mineralization, but not so much that it fuses the epiphyses. Start low; if you feel joint pain or your mood crashes, lower the dose.
• Basic Supplements:
Vitamin D3 + K2: 5000 IU daily (with a meal). Essential for calcium absorption and bone density.
Calcium Citrate: 1000mg daily. Bones need raw material to grow longer, not just wider.
Zinc Picolinate: 30–50mg daily. Supports testosterone production and overall growth hormone function.
Magnesium Glycinate: 400mg before bed. Improves sleep quality (crucial for GH release).
"Secret Sauce" / Extras:
IGF-1 LR3 (Optional):
Dose: 50mcg per day, subcutaneous.
Timing: Injected at night or post-workout.
Why: HGH stimulates the liver to make IGF-1. Exogenous IGF-1 acts directly on bone tissue for linear growth. This is a "pro" level addition that can push you closer to your 187cm goal, but it increases insulin sensitivity risks.
L-Arginine / L-Citrulline: 5g daily (fasted). Helps with blood flow and natural GH pulse during sleep.
Sleep Optimization: You need 9+ hours of quality sleep. If you sleep 6 hours, the stack is wasted. Use blackout curtains and keep room cool.
Critical Rules for Success:
Blood Work: Get a full panel (Testosterone, Estradiol, IGF-1, Lipids, Glucose) every 3 months. Adjust AI dose based on Estradiol levels (keep E2 between 30–50 pg/mL).
Caloric Surplus: You need to eat more than you burn. If you are in a deficit, your body will prioritize survival over height growth. Eat high protein and healthy fats.
Stretching: Do hanging exercises or yoga daily (15 mins) to decompress the spine while on HGH.
Monitor Joints: High doses of T + AI can dry out joints. If knees/shoulders hurt, increase Omega-3s and slightly lower the AI dose.
