Some people think that using human growth hormone injections for improved athletic performance, is just another way of playing god, and that it is morally, wrong in every way. Well, I'm not going to either agree, or disagree with the consensus that it is wrong, but it is a subject that, in my opinion, is worth taking a closer look at.

I have reason to believe that using human growth hormone injections for improving your athletic performance should be held in the same regards as using steroids, or any other kinds of drugs, unless of course it is for use to improve the handicapped, in which case I could see an exception for the rule. Basically I just do not see the need to inject you with anything, considering the caliber of athletes out there who do not need anything to help them in their performance. The vast majority of what the human body can do, I would say at least ninety percent is all mental. While I would not recommend attempting to lift two thousand pounds on your first try, or running across the country with no prior experience, I know it can be done. It is simply all about your level of motivation, and definitely not how much human growth hormone you can inject into your body at a time.

It is also a good idea, that when doing any kind of physical activity, to give a little bit of time for your body to rest. Using human growth hormones may just offset any rest you give your body, and in the long run be harmful to your body, as opposed to helping you achieve greatness. As far as human growth hormone injections go, most are synthetic, and created in a lab, so the risk of side effects is real, and in my opinion, not worth it. Anything you inject into your body can have side effects, especially synthetic drugs such as human growth hormone. The improvement of human growth hormone, or HGH as it is commonly called, on athletic performance is poor if any. The reason it is so popular in this field, and why so many athletes take it, is because of the effect that it has on muscle growth, so while you might look big, and tough, and like the type of athlete who can do just about anything, in the long run it's simply not worth it. It is simply the mental performance of going for it again and again after you fail, that really makes a great athlete.
