HGH usage discussion thread

[GearHeaded]

Interesting thread.

I've been running growth the past few years trying to come up with a scenario that is effective with my lifestyle. Being one that I train a lot and am quite active, but I have a hard time dieting.

So far the most effective way (for me) to lose weight and make huge cardio gains has been a combo of intermittent fasting, Low carb diet and 3.3iu HGH 5 days on 2 days off.

I take 3.3 iu arond 9AM, train at lunch (crossfit style training) eat my first meal around 3PM, then eat again around 6 and a small meal (usually ham and cheese omelette) around 9PM. Protein shakes, BCAA's, etc all taken in that window. It's not a very "clean" diet per se, but it's low carb high fat and protein.

Does anyone have any suggestions here? I cannot find ANY literature on the effects of taking growth with this type of meal and training plan. All I know is I lost 20lbs over 3-4 months, have kept it off, and cheat on weekends with all kinds of garbage like chips, pizza, beer, etc. I'm not terribly fat to begin with, (6'1" 200lbs) but people have definitely noticed the recomp.

I just really want to know why it is so effective, or if I can tweak it even further.

whats in bold above is the reason why your having effective fat loss using HGH (of course being in a calorie deficit and training and cardio all being part of that).

by taking HGH fasted and remaining in a fasted state during the majority of its duration in the blood stream as well as training during that time, all BEFORE having your first meal is going to be very lipolytic.

as my biology 101 post refers to. fatty acids need to be liberated from the fat cells, and THEN they become available for energy dependent cells to oxidize as a fuel source. by taking HGH fasted and remaining fasted you allow time for the HGH to help liberate fatty acids from storage, but you also put yourself in a calorie deficit during this time (your fasting) so that no additional energy sources are entering the blood stream,, now whats available to be oxidized and burnt for energy is the fatty acids that were liberated. these fatty acids and stored glycogen are primarily what your then using during your fasted workout.
(on a side note.. if you took your HGH, and it helped liberate fatty acids into the blood stream , but then you binge ate fats and carbs as well did not train and put yourself in a surplus,, you would not then be oxidizing those fatty acids and they would get restored as body fat.. HGH is not a "fat burner" its a "fat liberator" .. big difference)

this protocol your doing will definitely help with fat loss. not ideal for muscle gains though.

of course you'd make better progress without the weekend cheats and binging. but thats a different topic
