Post Workout Insulin Spike

[OldGHGuy]

Dumb Question:

Intense workout causes GH release
Old school advice is to consume a simple carb immediately following workout, to "flood muscles with sugar". Also creates insulin spike.

Along the lines of not eating for at least an hour post rhGH injection, doesn't the above advice to have a simple sugar post workout mean the "cancellation" of the natural GH spike?

No, there won’t be a cancellation if you are injecting the growth hormone.

Waiting to eat an hour after HGH injection seems counterproductive to me. Idk why people advise this advice.
Is it to supposedly avoid insulin resistance ?

Because the insulin resistance peak is from 1-3 hrs or more after injection. So eating an hour after injection is when you would be most resistant ? However, lifting and cardio mostly attenuate the resistance


The cancellation effect I believe you are referring to is regarding growth hormone secreting peptides. With those you must wait to spike insulin

I think insuling with gh only helps with more igf-1 release. just my opinion.
