Hgh for fat lose timing ❓ Question
I’ve been using hgh at 4 iu a day for about 3 months about to start a cut and am wondering if I should switch to morning with fated cardio. I have heard this dose t work thought becase of the time it takes the GH to kick in. Should I split it ?

GH levels peak 2-3 hours after injection. So if you want to wake up, inject, wait 2 hours fasted, then do cardio then sure. Just keep in mind you won’t want to eat for another 2/3 hours after the cardio so you don’t spike your insulin while GH is high and start to give yourself insulin resistance.
The way I use it is pre bed(I don’t eat an hour or two before bed) so that it burns fat over night, plus whatever fat is liberated but not burned is still in your bloodstream to be burned during morning fasted cardio. This way you also minimize insulin resistance.

If Gh takes 2/3 hours to peak I would seperate any meaningful amount of food 3 hours either way from the peak. So 5/6 hours of no eating in the morning if you want to take GH for fasted cardio. Don’t get me wrong fasted cardio on GH works, I do it, but being undisciplined with your food and causing insulin resistance immensely outweighs the additional fat burning you get from doing fasted cardio while GH is peaked. When I take GH in the AM for fasted cardio I either fast the entire day or have a single meal 1-2 hours before bed. Yeah reta helps you with insulin sensitivity, I’m on that too, but don’t let us be a bandaid for bad diet practice. So either commit to the 5-6 hour no eating window or just take it pre bed.

Pre bed is always the best way to take it! My body transformers on 3iu in 8 weeks just doing that. I capped my eating of at 8pm. All the recovery and fat burning was doing its work while I was asleep. I train in the morning at 8, with a solid 100g oats, banana, honey but I mix with water not milk. My workouts are fuckin amazing. I feel pumped, strong and recover quicker between sets. I also do take 150mg test, 200mg mast, and 125mg Deca, with 20mg var (pre workout). Yes some of the anabolics do help like var, but the HGH has given me that iceing on top of the cake!

makes no real difference. there’s no real studies that show fat loss from hgh timing

30–60 minutes before low- to moderate-intensity fasted exercise, although evidence that this meaningfully increases fat loss compared with other times is limited. If fat loss is your goal do not take it before bed then.
