Wouldn’t worry to much at that dosage my man. Glad you found my thoughts helpful.

I think that’s a personal decision man, risk vs reward. But if you know your at 80 without the GH and then that’s the only change and it goes up to 100 we’ll we know why. Now you have your “new baseline” for lack of a better term. So make sure that it doesn’t continue creeping up over time.

Simply put if you do this for a month and drop the GH for a week and fasting bg drops right back down again, no harm no foul in my opinion.

There’s ways you can move
Around dosage timing as wel if you are extremely concerned. For example if doing 2iu, potentially taking it pre workout will lead to least insulin resistance due to “burning off” some of the releases fats/carbs. Maybe not the best for growth though. Again, risk reward.

That being said, I haven’t even seen you list the GH dose your using.

I think we give ourselves to much credit thinking we can manage something with so many variables as far as our fluctuations in blood sugar throughout the day.

Remember one of the first actions of GH is to dump energy into the blood (fats,carbs). So an increase is absolutely expected.

I’m not saying just turn a blind eye but if you are training hard, keeping body fat respectable, and not abusing GH, I wouldn’t worry to much. Keep an eye on your HBA1C when doing bloodwork.

As far as the Lantus 8iu Is very minimal, will it take some burden of the pancreas, technically yes, do you need it? I would say depends on carb intake.

What is bloodwork showing? Generally speaking I would raise T4 before T3 assuming conversion is happening to active and not RT3

So I think of as mechanic tension not necessarily as the weight that is moved, but the internal stimulus/tension on the muscle. I’m sure we all agree that moving weight a to b is not progressive overload in the way we are trying to achieve.

You also used the phrase top athletes, who have more control and have a greater ability control and keep that tension on the muscle better than most.

Technically faster eccentrics can lead to higher loads used but not necessarily more internal stimulus on the muscle.

All the fancy stuff aside, imo slower eccentrics generally better, but drastically slow can just create to much damage, especially with some of the loads these big guys are moving.

Debatable , but there is evidence showing the higher importance of overload in the mid/lengthened ranges vs the short l, which could be blown through by dropping and using momentum through these ranges.

Just some ramblings….

Huge fan of prime. Especially the seated ham curl where the pad is below vs above the knee. Also a fan of the leg extension to be able to overload the short position vs needing to band most leg extensions for this effect.

Assuming you are referring to MT2, one side effect that can actually be seen is increased hematocrit which could be of concern.

[ZR]

IGF 1 is a marker that climbs over weeks of consistent use. No special timing needed.

Going to jump back in here. As the above answered for sleep, yes this product would be better.

But you just asked about ZMA in general, and assuming it is the patented formula of ZMA, it is not under dosed, it is a specific formula, as it is patented.

[ZR]

Patented formula that’s been around for a while. If you need to supplement zinc and/or magnesium this is an option. Highly bio available types of these vitamins in this product.

I’m in the US and import a lot of JPs stuff but Some reputable brands: Morphogen Nutrition, Granite, ProjectAD

[ZR]

As above^ and I order this stuff to the states.

Thank you everyone, hopefully this will resolve my next check ins. Looked like I ate a cheesecake in the middle of the night and topped it off with half a gallon of saltwater how washed out everything was

[ZR]

Thanks for the reply. I know my waking reading is good and not a health concern I was meant more along the lines of how dean st.mart showed before and on his Instagram now of how when other healthy individuals that have the same readings as me upon waking, when they take in water it lowers their numbers even further but mine is the opposite the actual reasoning or science behind why [/quote]
What kind of salt are you using? Cheap salt is cut with dextrose (sugar) here in the states

[ZR]

Maple and SC for me. I have to ask, I’ve had all flavors,they’re all excellent except the white chocolate, I can’t even stomach it. Sames as the proteins, the white chocolate taste super bitter to me.

Is white chocolate different in UK vs US, really curious?
