Running GH straight through prep or pulling it 6 weeks out, what does everyone do?

[Mick AU]

10 weeks out from show and trying to decide whether to keep GH running all the way through or pull it early to manage water. Running 3IU fasted AM right now. At 52 I am probably more sensitive to water than a younger competitor. Would like to hear from guys who have done both approaches. Is the fat burning benefit in those final weeks worth the water management headache?

Keep it running. Pull GH early and you lose the fat mobilisation benefit right when you need it most. Manage the water through your carb and sodium protocol instead. Most experienced prep guys I know run GH straight through and deal with water via diet. 3IU fasted AM is already a sensible dose.

At 52 the water management is more important than a younger competitor, you are right about this. But I think the answer is not to pull GH but to be more precise with sodium and carbohydrates in the final weeks. The fat mobilisation in those last 10 weeks is difficult to replace with other compounds.
