You dont seem to understand anything about all of this, so i am surprised that you even do cycles.
There is no such thing as biological maintenance. Cells either grow or reduce. Its called anabolism and catabolism. In nature, nothing ever stays the same - it either grows or dies. We begin to die as soon as we are born. Nothing in life just stays the same. Some things die slower, some die faster but my point is that NOTHING maintains cells as such. What we call “maintenance” is growing cells at a rate that masks the fact that the cells are shrinking.
Let me put it this way…
A cycle is a mortgage on a house. You need to have a job and earn money to pay for it every month. So when you take this huge loan and build a house, you need to get the best job possible to “maintain” it, right? But actually its NOT maintaining, its just slowing down the loss of money you already owe. Because you actually have to give real money to the bank. Its not like the debt just disapears - you have to give real money to bank, in exchange for them letting you keep the house(you need to build muscle cells for them to look like they are not shrinking).
In biology all the processes are the same. When you cycle, you took a mortgage, and now when you are off, you dont even have a job.
What you want to do, is to slow down the loss and pay for the mortgage with NO JOB. What im saying is that if GH at 2iu a day doesnt grow muscle cells fast enough as they reduce since you are off cycle, you end up losing the house.
NOTHING in pharma maintains muscle as such. It either grows it or it doesnt, and what changes is the rate at which it grows to the rate of which the cells shrink down.
So basically if low dose GH doesnt have enough ANABOLIC properties, it also cant create the illusion of maintenance, because maintenance still has to be anabolic, OR you turn catabolic and LOSE your gains. Contrary to the name, it actually sucks at growing stuff. I believe we should stop referring to it as a GH, but use the actual name - somatotropic hormone, so people wont get mind fucked with the name. Because now its like we would call Primo a “supermegamusclebuilder steroid” while its actually mild anabolic and it sucks, but in 10 years because of the name all the newbs would be blasting it anyways, haha.
And same goes for fat cells. GH can help reduce fat cells but then you have to be catabolic to begin with. You need a caloric deficit, which speeds up you losing muscle. If you want to burn fat with GH you still have to be in a caloric deficit, therefore you will be catabolic, therefore you will lose muscle.
If you think 3ius of GH will build muscle just as fast as a small dose of actual anabolics(to create your illusion of maintaining muscle) and at the same time burn fat while being in what…caloric surplus to maintain muscle? you are in for a huge waste of money and dissapointment. That is the reason why the biggest monsters in bodybuilding take 10 times more shit while cutting. Cutting cycles are 10 times harsher and more agressive than muscle building ones. Why? Because we need a lot more shit if we want to build muscle while being catabolic(which ends up looking like maintenance). People take 10 times the shit when cutting but dont build muscle - they just lose fat. Because when they lose fat they also lose muscle, and the 10 times harsher shit builds it back up so it looks like they maintained the muscle while losing fat.
3ius of GH is not magic man. It will just put you a bit over the normal range. Unless you already look like you have never taken steroids, those few ius of GH cant do shit for you.
It sort of does everything you mentioned, but combined with other stuff AND combined with correct metabolic enviroment for what you wanna do.
In order for GH to burn fat you would need a base dose of anabolics that grow muscle slow(create the illusion of maintenance) that you can be in a caloric deficit so GH can burn away the fat a bit faster.
But please, understand, that if you are not in a caloric deficit, GH wont burn fat. If it worked like that all the obese people would just get GH prescribed and solve all their problems with 3ius a day. There are studies done on fat people that come to a conclusion that GH does not change shit to a noticable extent.
But now if you want to burn fat, you will be in a deficit, and then you will again lose muscle, because GH alone doesnt grow muscle(create the illusion of maintenance).
