    Both should be done, but if your going to do one, do straight leg

    Hey there. Assuming you execute this the way most people do, this is going to be much more hip dominant vs quad dominant.

    I’m assuming your going to hit maximal hip flexion before knee flexion.

    So this would be more beneficial for glutes/adductors vs quads.

    Sounds like you have been relying on the “bounce” out of the whole from the wraps and are just lacking strength in that range.

    You may just need to lessen the load and start fresh.

    Would you mind posting up the actual diet? I don’t believe you have updated that since the first page of the log where the calories were like in the 4K range.

    Genuinely curious how you manage to get this in. Very impressive!

    Nutrabio makes a good K2/D3 Supp
    Morphogen makes a good kidney supplement + tudca
    Jeff long makes a good all in one health supplement
    Revive is overpriced imo.

    That being said, I import JP supps to US. They simplistic are the best quality for the best value.

    As someone who is familiar with both courses, Jules nailed it. If I had to choose 1 for application I would go N1

    It’s technically the oil that expires. Not worth it in my opinion.

    Not to sound cheesy but when it is anything like adherence issues, I like to think about my “why”.

    What is keeping you on this path, why are you doing it. If that doesn’t allow you to stay on track, maybe it’s not as important as you think, or you need to find a deeper rooted why

    Really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things in my opinion.

    Set things up in way that work best for your performance,digestion, and adherence.

    Agree with a lot of the above for health obviously. Pure meathead answer, enough to not gas out during back off sets, and not gas out in the bedroom ?.

    This is on going conversation.

    Technically you need more on a diet, less in a surplus.

    Technically you need less on gear vs not on gear.

    I don’t understand all the debates though, why would you not just stay on the high side just to be safe? Extra won’t hurt but not having enough certainly will.

    As others here, favor around the 1.5g per pound or 3g/kg approx

    Simply put, IMO benefits out weigh the cons by far.

    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.
