If ur shooting 2-3iu's a day, I make more GH in a day than you shoot up in maybe even a whole week. Go look at my NIH link then do the math.

Post up a copy of your latest bloodwork showing IGF-1 levels and let's have a look.

2000% more GH a day over baseline. And those were sedentary people. Not people who are also then working out on an empty stomach. It's common knowledge lifting weights release's massive amounts of GH, especially when you get over 80% of 1rep. Hard to put an exact number on things but after a wkt it has to be well over 2000%. What is the test for IGF levels called? That may not be something my general practitioner does but I'm sure the Cleveland Clinic can do it and I'm not far.

HGH production and its corresponding effect on IGF-1 levels has ridiculously-high biological variation. It can be impacted by genes, age, physical stress, emotional stress, sleep (quantity and quality), weighlifting, other hormones and God-knows what else.
I have nine years of lab work from HGH injections, and here's the best I can figure from an N=1 lab experiment:
- You cannot guess or estimate your current HGH levels to even within 50%, even if you have nine years worth of lab work stacked-up. You may be able to sense your blood sugar levels (roughly) or even your testosterone levels, but you can't get even close to guessing your HGH/IGF-1 levels. You have to do bloodwork.
- Don't start believing the HGH/IGF-1 bloodwork until you've done 4-6 labs at 6-8 week intervals.
- HGH is a moving target. The dose that works for you today will almost certainly not be the dose that works a year from now. And that dose can go dramatically up (100%+) or dramatically down (50% less or more).
- Emotional stress, physical stress and poor sleep can suppress HGH levels even if you are supplementing with it. I've required almost five units per day five days a week just to get to 10% below maximum-normal levels.
- Weights help HGH levels in general by a modest amount, but the slightest amount of overtraining begins suppressing HGH (and your response to exogenous HGH) very quickly.
- Even a small amount of testosterone (i.e. 150 mg/week) increases your response to HGH (or your own HGH production). I can get to 10% below max normal on as little as 2 IUs/week.
- I personally don't see any connection between HGH levels and diet from either a quantity or quality perspective. But then again, the base variation is so high that the effect could just be lost in the sea of other changes.
There are several panels that look for IGF-1 -- you'd want the cheapest panel that captured that lab value. Any random practitioner can order you the test and the draw could be done at some local chain like LabCorp.
