Should I add test to my hgh cycle at 16?

[natqr]

I’m 16.5 (bone age ~16, plates partially open) and currently running a height-focused protocol. My main goal is to push past 6’1” from my current 5’9.5”. I’m already on HGH + armidex and doing everything I can to keep plates open while maximizing IGF-1 and growth. For me, height>everything especially when it comes down to my sport.

my parents are 5'10 and 5'10

Current stack:

• HGH – 6 IU/day split AM + PM
• Arimidex – 0.5 mg every other day (targeting E2 = 15–20 pg/mL)
• Glow stack (GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500) – daily subQ
• Supplements – D3, K2, magnesium, zinc, boron, calcium, etc.
• Mechanical loading (hanging, stretching, sprints, football training)

I've been on this for 5 weeks, and i've seen 1-2cm growth probaly water retention and posture fixes. I'm planning to switching to aromasin and and taking blood in a week to see my e2 and igf1 levels, and also use it as a baseline if i decide to do test.
I know this probally won't be enough for me to reach over 6 foot so this is why im considering adding test. I definitely don't want to run trt for the rest of my life so i'm not sure how long I should run the test long term or short, I've heard adding could give me an extra inch or two on top of hgh and ai which could help me reach 6'1 or 6'2, and of coursre the usual benefits of running test are a huge plus.

What I’m considering:

• Adding Testosterone Enanthate at 125–250 mg/week.(not sure dosage yet)
• Running Aromasin alongside instead of armidex to keep E2 under control.
• Adding HCG to preserve fertility.
• Getting bloodwork (Test, Estradiol, Lipids) baseline + 4 weeks + ongoing every 6–8 weeks.

My concern:

• I’ve read that Test boosts IGF-1 and could synergize with HGH, maybe squeezing out extra height if E2 is perfectly managed.
• But I’m also worried about premature plate closure, aromatization, and the risk of needing TRT for life if I shut down too early, and how long I should run.
• I know Test is mainly for muscle/masculine traits, not height, but my #1 priority is height growth.

Question:
Given my age, open plates, and current stack — do you think adding Testosterone would actually help push me over 6’0”, or is it just unnecessary risk since HGH + AI already covers most of the height potential? and if so could people help me make a cycle?

ur not gonna get anything more than maybe an eight of an inch from test and u have the risk of just shutting ur shit down and ur hpa axis wont develop fully since ur introducing exogenous hormones early

and u might not even reach 5'11, 6'1-6'2 is very unrealistic

so i should just stick to my hgh cycle?

1. Get baseline bloodwork
2. Like the other commenter said, your HPTA axis has not fully developed. You may have a higher chance of never having getting your natural test levels back. You are already running a lot of stuff so it’s probably not a problem for you to be on try permanently, just understand that it could be a lifelong commitment at your age.
3. Why are you running Arimidex instead of Aromasin? That has a much higher chance of permanently impacting estrogen levels
4. If you aren’t at 10-12% bodyfat, get to it first before hopping on. Then the dose range you mentioned will probably not cause any aromatization especially since ur already on an AI unless you are really unlucky.

1. i already have baseline bloodwork before i started my hgh and ai cycle,
2. Ive looked into it more, my plan is going to run test closer to when my plates close, 6 months from now on hgh when i turn 17 and ill check my plates with xray then
3. ive swaped to aromasin 12.5 eod, im going to get bloods in 2 weeks to get my e2 and just cruise for another 6 motnhs until test
4. im 10.4 percent body fat, i'm trying to increase it as im 71 kg at 5 9, i could have much more muscle mass

let me know how this plan is, and if running test 6 motnhs from now is fine, and how much i can expect to grow

Good. You can run test now too if you aren’t fat and have taken your bloodwork. Idk how much you can grow if you can grow at all, would depend on what the bottleneck is

scared of premature closure, even if I manage e2, u think i would lose a lot of height if i delayed taking test waiting until i hit 3 months on hgh or 6 months of hgh, or is it just fractional

Don’t do test yet bro. Wait until ur growth plates are closed.

You are trying a borderline trt dose
You aren’t fat
You are already using an AI

The chance of aromatization is really really low, you wouldn’t lose any height imo

how would would it speed up growth combined with hgh tho?

why not? won't it increse my chances of reaching my goal

 

[ketamin]

No

 

[natqr]

No

could you explain as wouldn't it improve igf1 levels?

If you care that much about the side effect, it has never really started to begin with
