1000ug IGF-1 twice a day day for a year no effect One year of insulin-like growth factor I treatment does not affect bone density, body composition, or psychological measures in postmenopausal women - PubMed
5iu per day in young athletes, no effect https://www.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1152/ajpendo.1992.262.3.E261
5iu per day in young athletes, no effect Short-term growth hormone treatment does not increase muscle protein synthesis in experienced weight lifters - PubMed
3iu per day, no effect Growth hormone increases muscle mass and strength but does not rejuvenate myofibrillar protein synthesis in healthy subjects over 60 years old - PubMed
2.5iu per day, no effect Effect of growth hormone and resistance exercise on muscle growth and strength in older men - PubMed
2iu per day no effect Lack of effect of recombinant human growth hormone (GH) on muscle morphology and GH-insulin-like growth factor expression in resistance-trained elderly men - PubMed
2iu per day, no effect GH administration changes myosin heavy chain isoforms in skeletal muscle but does not augment muscle strength or hypertrophy, either alone or combined with resistance exercise training in healthy elderly men - PubMed
I suppose this is common sense. If there is an anabolic effect, you'd need a lot more.
Feel free to disagree!
