5 on/2 off protocol

[XXrockstar]

I train Mon thru Fri and take the weekends off from weight training. Could I take two consecutive days off from hgh since I am doing 5 days on 2 days off? Or should they only be one day off. My thinking is doing 2 consecutive days off is it allows the igf receptors to freshen and restart the bodys natural pulse. If any mods could chime in that would be great.

The 5/2 protocol is for financial reasons only. Taking 2 out of 7 days off will have minimal or no effects on your natural GH production. Keeping your IGF-1 levels consistently elevated is much more beneficial - if you want to get the most out of your GH, take it everyday.

5/2 is what a lot of guys do for financial reasons more than anything else......and some do believe it does help prevent the negative feedback loop...so you are FINE!

anything else? stats? goals? how many units are you taking and when?

this too....if you can go ahead and do everyday

Everything I have ever read (never done HGH) agrees with the above opinions. Better to take no days off.

any one ever think that taking two days off every week might contribute to negative side effects? such as, joint pain, numbness and so on. i mean, we would never jump from 0ius to 6ius a day when we are starting HGH, don't you think that going two days with no HGH to going back to 6ius might be hard on your body?

[XXrockstar]

thanks guys! but my question relates to should I take the two days off in a row or spread them out? So between Sat/Sun or like a Wed or a Sun

[Sgt. Hartman]

IMO, I would take the 2 non-training days off.

[XXrockstar]

Okay that is what I was thinking and those days are Sat and Sun, but will it hurt me in the long run if those two days are consecutive days?

nope....a lot of guys do this...and I mean a lot!

in the long run I would be more concerned about taking gh at 29 since you already have a ton of gh and this can contribute to a negative feedback loop....

Thanks,

I am also thinking if I do 12IU a day Mon thru Fri, and take Sat and Sun off, the two consecutive days off will help my body create its own gh again as well.

12 as in twelve units a day? are you kidding?

[XXrockstar]

Yes 12IU a day, 60IU a week.

[Sgt. Hartman]

I hope you know what you're doing bro. Post up your progress and results please.

What kind of GH are you taking?

[slimshady01]

probably fake garbage if he is taking that much

[XXrockstar]

Elitropin. And no I spent well into 4 figures for the amount I got.

[SlimmerMe]

[XXrockstar]

I didn't mention any prices?

Lots of people have tried this, I have read people getting good results with that, eod, ed, 5/2. Just matters on the ius a week. I would build up to 12ius though. Start with 6ius on each of those days then slowly raise it to 12ius.

I know the brand he is talking about gets good feedback on another board. But it is from china and you can never know when it comes from china.
