GH injection time Q

[VTliftVT]

I will be getting into 4iu/day tomorrow and will be moving up to 5iu/day the week after. I normally take my first injection around 6am which has been only 2-3iu once per day up to this point. Once I get above the 3iu per day it's my understanding that I should start splitting injections. I lift around 6-6:30pm so when should I take my second injection once I start splitting them? would it be good to take it around 6pm when I am home from work or 7:30/8pm when I am home from the gym, or would the later injection interfere with my natural GH production at night?

Thanks!

AM and early afternoon would be your best option. Taking HGH around training time can work out quite well but it can also work against you.

thanks gear, that sounds good to me. is there any truth to taking GH post workout helps with muscle growth once you get into a higher IU/day? I plan on working my way up to 8iu E/D over the next 5 months. thanks for all your help!

you just want to mainly avoid shooting late nite because that messes with your natural hgh(unless your over 60).

It helps quite a bit with recovery which leads to muscle growth but as I said it can also work against you. I'll have that part explained in the post below.

If you have a super intense workout session your body may produce its own HGH. So if you have a shot of HGH around training time and your body produces its own HGH while working out you could be interrupting your natural production. This is what you do not want.

so how long should one wait after injection to work out?

[petethemanc]

I leave mine an hour before i hit the gym after my shot, seems to work ok.

If I were to shoot HGH around trainig time then I would do it 1hr pre or PWO.

your the man gear, great info. for mass would you say PWO would be better? woudnt taking it pre workout drop your blood glucose thus being similar to doing cardio on an empty stomach further helping reduce body fat? so pre workout = fat loss and post = muscle gains?

IMO you are best of leaving insulin for PWO as insulin will deliver better recovery gains than HGH will, and greater recovery will lead to muscle mass.

I have taken HGH at all different times in the day and always found my gains to be the same. The only time my gains change is if I change the dose but I can't say I saw any noticable difference in fat loss when I took HGH before training.
