Will temporarily dropping HGH help to lean/dry out in waist?

[Bloopetron]

I always have retained my fat in my love handle section, and over the past several years of dieting right, training hard, and the wonderful assistance of first Tesa and then GH, it’s come down substantially, however at 4IU of GH I don’t notice that if I have tighter underwear on, there’s a lil muffin top action going on.

I really don’t think it’s all fat, and if mostly water, would dropping gh for a few days help to reduce it if I say have a beach day coming up?

Only other thing I’m taking is 100mg of TRT, about to finish my first week. Will take any tips to acutely dry out a bit.

If you have a muffin top it's definitely not mostly water.

Do you have a full etched in 6 pack?

Yup along with visible teres too, but yeah it could be fat. It’s always the last thing on my body to go in a steep deficit :/

Then it’s fat. That’s what I find is the best assumption lol

You would most likely be having other signs of heavy water retention (like hands and feet edema, increased BP etc) if you were puffy enough for a muffin top. And you’d have your abs washed out if you were bloated enough for a muffin top.

What’s your current stats and diet?

Very true, I don’t have any other water retention signs really. I actually never have with HGH other than going to Florida and being in 100 degree heat in a sudden fashion, hands swelled up so much I couldn’t make a fist

5 foot 8, float between 158 and 162lbs
High carb, low fat, high protein diet aiming for about 2200-2600 calories per day. Maintaining right now as I start TRT.

Damn :/ may be time to break out the Reta in August

You can always pull the GH for 4 or 5 days. All water retention should flush off by then.

I hold more mass/fat in my love handles and waist then other areas of the body. I am more like a camel i store fat in my humps!. When i used to compete i would get very lean but still have lower back fat. Every pound i lost at that point would take about an inch off my waist.

I hear you man, same. And if I tried getting even leaner to shred off that waist fat I would start to lose strength/muscle, but that was before I started dabbling in PED’s/Glp1’s, so maybe it will be different this time around once I really start cutting calories again

Starving ones body(loosing weight) tends to decrease strength. But that does not have to mean muscle loss if diet and training are good. It does not take much anabolics to support muscle when loosing weight.

love handles we a pain to lose. Even on Reta they didn’t start moving till the end of my cut .
