Or both....

I have a friend that ordered that stuff online. To make it 'legal', they sent him to some medical lab in our city for a blood test and then said his testosterone levels were 'low'. Their doctor then wrote him prescriptions for HGH and (forget the brand name) Testosterone that he had to inject in his arse or leg... oh yeah - they didnt give him the written prescriptions, he had to have it filled thru their pharmacy. It was around $1400/month for all the drugs they sent him. Even tho he had insurance, they didnt accept insurance. But he now looks like the gentleman in the above photo... after working out for 8 months.

The front and back 'after' photos seem to be differently shaped bodies.

The V from the back is much more pronounced. Same guy?

And the face in the front photo looks photoshopped on.

Look at the protruding abdomen -- that's the steroid jaw of HGH.





And did his eyes change color?

Steroids? I doubt it during the cut.

Marc is a powerlifter who was injured and decided to cut. Looks like he lost some muscle which I wouldn't expect on a guy using.

Or do the same thing you always did with better results.

Most powerlifters in the top tiers are doping anyway. Looks like he mixed in some HGH with his usual cycles and decided to cut. Muscle loss will occur whether doping or not. In a lot of cases, intramuscular triglycerides and glycogen depletion leads to the 'lost muscle' look. Great accomplishment, but don't hold it to the same standard as any natural athlete.

I see, the guy must have exercised and eaten the same in both "before" and "after" pictures.

He may have been a powerlifter - but sorry, powerlifters do not look like him in his cut pics. Also there are plenty of steroids that DO help you lose fat - which is what he did: maintain muscle mass while shedding fat.

I wonder if I can prescribe myself some T and/or HGH?

I obviously know I can't prescribe medication to myself but should be easy enough to work around that. Sweet!

If he can achieve that within a short time and he is not on the juice and you believe it, that confirms my suspicions on your intelligence or lack thereof all along.

Would you like to buy some magic beans I have for sale?
