Episode notes
Extra GH On Training Days Adds Little
- Do not increase growth hormone doses only on heavy training days; the hosts expect little real-world difference.
- The listener tolerated five IU daily but developed nighttime hand numbness at six IU, signaling a meaningful side-effect threshold.
GH Timing Trends Are Less Absolute Than Claimed
- Growth hormone timing has shifted from morning dosing to bedtime, split pulses, and pre-workout protocols as online narratives change.
- Dave Crosland frames morning use as potentially favoring fat loss and evening use as potentially favoring recovery, while emphasizing overlap.
Consistent GH Use Matters More Than Perfect Timing
- The hosts argue that influencers exaggerate precise GH timing, making flexible use sound pointless.
- Timing may affect fasting cardio or sleep, but Scott McNally expects comparable results between carefully timed and random dosing.
