I have tried to research this and have got different opinions. I would think it does as when I used to train heavy my bones for sure got thicker, and my jaw increased in size? Anyone have any feedback?
One thing I am trying to figure out. Since I am on both growth hormone and testosterone. On testosterone my igf-1 raises so my doc one time lowered my growth hormone dose. It was a little above the normal scale. So am I getting enough growth hormone because my igf-1 is affected by my testosterone replacement. Hope that makes sense. Is this a situation where it would be ok for igf-1 levels to be above normal range?
