    HGH Pre-Workout or Post-Workout???

    I am unclear when my second shot during the day should be? Whether to have my IGF levels boosted during when I workout or after when I shoot? Thoughts?

    GH in morning at wake up and mid afternoon at latest. Don't want to disrupt your natural GH pulse at night. Not as time critical as say igf-1 lr3.

    I would go with the pre-workout GH shot.

    The main reason has to do with carbs.

    Just before your workout you have not eaten at least for an hour.

    This way the carbs will not conflict with GH.

    If a shot is taken post-workout it will conflict with carbs taken as shake or a fast meal at home.

    Good advice! I can't take mine pre-workout because I go from work. I would avoid my post-workout because I take a protein shake with loads of carbs for an insulin spike.

    that would make sense especially if you want the IGF levels to increase during the workout. I just got my blood drawn and will post results to see what my baseline IGF is at my age.

    Well, if you went with pre-workout instead of doing all pwo, then would you take your Dextrose pre-workout too for the inslin spike? Or just wait till pwo and take the Dex with your protein. I am running 5iu per day ED but dont wanna take inslin yet. What do you think?

    You've got it all backwards in regard to insulin and GH. GH injection causes insulin release to be suppressed. Spiking your insulin by ingesting simple sugar at this time causes the body to go into a state of confusion - GH causing insulin suppression and simple sugar causing insulin release. This can eventually lead to the body being insulin resistant and finally diabetes. Take your GH early AM and don't ingest carbs an hour before or after - forget about spiking your insulin at all. How old are you and what are your stats and goals?

    Edit: Sorry. Need age and stats before anymore advise can be given.
