  • If you want to see a "poster movie" for the use of HGH and other enhancers, watch the trailer for the upcoming flick "The Expendables" featuring a whole host of 1980's action stars. I havn't been 71, or any other age close to it yet - so its hard for me to be the judge of this man from my perspective in my 20's. Though I might not be quite as chipper as I was at 16 or 18, I have not experieced the natural decline of the aging process. That being said, all these products have a high degree of risk associated with them. The old debate of quality versus quantity of life comes to mind. Does the short term feeling of youth outweigh the risks for a man who is already over 70?
