A lot of hate on the guest for no reason. First of all you don’t need a degree to be knowledgeable on a subject. This guy is on the show because he has read and understands the literature on the subject AND has personal experience using it himself. None of y’all bat an eye when popular bodybuilders spew nonsense on their channels based on their opinion. This guy actual read the academic literature. Secondary they stated many times how this particular subject lacks research. This means Peter wouldn’t likely find a researcher on this subject because they don’t really exist. This was a very insightful show.

Great podcast....In my early 30's I was in a near death accident. I broke my C1,2,3 L3,4,5 and had a TBI. I was paralyzed from the neck down for 4 months & was told I would never walk again. At the time I walked around at 185 and was in great shape. I could not eat or drink and went down to 138. Had a 14 hour surgery and thank God was mobile. I had a halo, girdle and neck brace. Docs put me on pharmaceutical grade GH because they wanted the bone to grow very fast over the titanium to prevent any additional setbacks. Could not work out at all afterwards. Once home my weight went up to about 160 just from eating again. Got all of the apparatus off. Went to outside family function for a bbq/pool party. It was a hot day- about 95 degrees. Took off my shirt for the 1st time and I was shredded...lol. Went back to the doc when I went back to the gym and asked him for another dose...lmao. The co-pay was $5 on about a $1,200 script, I believe. I got a resounding never ...lmao. The shit works wonders.

2:41 Tanya Angus was 20 when developing acromegaly. From 5 feet 8 inches tall she growed to nearly 7ft tall. I guess her epiphysis wasn't fully closed at 20, or the humongous amounts of hgh she experienced somehow softened it up again. In any case - one way to create a human with super physiology could be to start with a child of short-backed stature, use large amounts of hgh at a young age, then shorten the limbs when the person becomes an adult. Ethically desirable? No! Possible? Yes. Somehow I am surprised it haven't been done already.

[@angryostrich333]

You should’ve named this video HGH 701 lol I can’t understand anything you’re saying 😂

[@lKILLA]

From what I was told and also prescribed. GH is extremely expensive, like omnitrope. It's 400 dollars for a two week cycle. Peptides like sermoreline will increase grhelin. Oxandrolone is a steroid used specifically to increase igf. The point of increasing igf is to get it to where your igf was as an adolescent/young adult. You ideally want your igf to be like almost 300 ng/ml. Because at that point your susceptibility to DOMS, injury, decreases and your recovery heavily increases. They typically give oxandrolone to patients who have had hard-core surgeries. Same with peptides like bpc-157. My igf is 146 ranging from 96-290. So needs to get a bit higher.

This guy is off his marbles

[@ICanPhixThat]

This dude has a Wikipedia degree. Every statement concluded with “I think” or “I could be wrong” which doesn’t make me think he’s qualified to TEACH others on the matter. Regardless of whether people think it’s mean to “hate” on this guy.

[@ICanPhixThat]

He’s clearly no an expert and knowledgable by Wikipedia which is fine unless you’re going around and attempting to teach others and misinforming. Now if they wanting to ask questions and he verify the answers using research, literature, and documents that back his claim that’s fine. Especially if they provide references but to just say “anyone can be smart with out a degree and teach” is the reason why there’s so much bullshit on the internet. Degree or not, you have to provide VALID information. And the reason there is a preference to degree teachers is because they know how to properly reference their information sources. It’s all about providing the people the answer with evidence. Not providing them with “well bro you dial it back and see if it’s average” lol

[@paulnolan6866]

Where's your degree from?

[@juicebox853]

Listening to these 2 drug dealers tell you everything is safe and great is not smart. Bro science

[@vvc_551]

Just stay away from drugs, period

[@Kevin.Simons]

A man of nuance, I see.

[@joeyclutch1]

Thanks dad.

Unless you have a medical condition and they're prescribed by a doctor. Oh and caffeine in moderation is OK, and the occasional alcoholic drink. Maybe aspirin or paracetamol for a headache too.

[@rickycarfan54]

well.. i find this to be the most useless video/poscast ever! basically you did gave almost no answer on anything… just conjectures, anecdotes, doubs… maybe this, maybe that… 🤷‍♂️ i don’t know: what is the point of making a video on something you don’t really have clear and founded answers??

[@riceexperiment]

Because that's the current level of evidence, very little or no scientific publications, like they mention, it's mainly anecdotal. Plus, it's russian roulette cuz you never know what's actually in the drug from underground labs or from abroad; it's all buyer beware, at your own risk.

[@rossgrant1523]

its called food for thought. It leads to ideas and future studies. They're just spit balling on this episode. Lol

[@soma9029]

so there's thing a lot of humans do nowadays known as "discussion"

[@BrandoTheMando87]

It’s rare in social media these days to have people who aren’t implying everything they say is fact, and that we need to continue to learn more. It’s actually refreshing when someone says “I don’t know,” when the topics aren’t fully elucidated yet.

[@rickycarfan54]

@@BrandoTheMando87yes.. i can appreciate a discussion where the partecipants does not present their theory as absolute truth… but with a grain of doubt. That’s appreciable! but here it’s seems a little bit too high level of doubt: basically it sounds like we have no clue about gh effect!!😄😄

Why does Derek put MPMD. Isn't there an inverseratio between how many letters you have to put after your name and your level of insecurity?

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

Lmao, your insecurities are showing trying to put him down and reaching. He made his channel when he was very young trying to do lifting/dating. Called his channel "More plates, more dates"... MPMD. Get over yourself bud

[@beefplusrice]

Lmao you thought it was a designation???

[@icixie]

Guarantee he's more knowledgeable than any endocrinologist. The guy literally hard core studied the subject in depth for 10 years plus

[@nl3712]

Why, exactly, do you think he there?

[@rookendgame]

The OP is probably someone who thinks that you have to be a scientist to tell the definition of a woman 😂
