I think that would depend on your metabolism because some people can eat and feel full the rest of the day and some can eat and be hungry within the next hour. If your feeling the benefits still like better sleep and all it should be good to go. Guess you gotta go a little bit by feel

Cardio sux. It's the necessary evil as ppl say.

 

[Budman7811]

I have been laying off the treadmill for some reason, been doing more frogkicks and supersets to keep the heart rate up. I did much more cardio when I was trying to shed pounds while taking a fat burner. I have been seeing so much change in my body from lifting weights i have been just focusing on that. The Glycobol seems to be a factor in my physique... along with my dedication to making it to the gym.

 

[mkretz]

no i do not have a log over there.....i could start one if ud like....but i need a new product to run ;-)

thank for understanding!

 

[mkretz]

quick rundown, final review while i got alitle time....(im eating) lol..... hghpro def. helped my recovery, no doubt about it. i gained right around 4-5 lbs through the bottle with no noticable bodyfat changes at all...and im pretty lean so thats saying something.

-also its been over a week without it and i got the rundown, need to recover feeling yest so i had to take off....never got that while on hghpro....and i do not feel as rested when i wake up.....hghpro never really helped to fall asleep which is usually a big pblem for me, but it definitely made a difference on my quality of sleep there is no doubting that.

with all that said id give hghpro a 9/10, the only negative was it didnt make me "sleepy" o well right lol i gained about 5 lbs and recovered much better than ever before which is usually my issue! I would love to run again... I plan to take a little time off and then maybe pick up a bottle....how long woudl u suggest to take off, its already been about 1.5 weeks?

thanks for following along and I will def be posting another log soon, jsut deciding what i want to log.....really hoping i could log some glycobol (put in an app in another thread) but oether than taht i may log slin sane which i have around and also CEE which i jsut bought.....interested to see how that cmpares to mono!

one last shoutout to AI....u guys kick A** and appreciate everythign u do for ur costomers, you have a customer for life because or ur generosity and great service!

 

[AaronJP1]

Nice review man.
Glad to see ya gained 5lbs and no fat :bryce:


Either I see you spent some of that college cash and got some CEE huh? Have fun man hopefully you may get to log a GDA.

 

[mkretz]

thanks...yea the CEE was onle like $12 and i was out of mono so i figured is give it a shot

nice review. i'd be curious to hear about how long to wait in between running it as well. I ran it for 4 weeks and would like to run it for 5 weeks since it's been 2 weeks in between. Thoughts?

quick rundown, final review while i got alitle time....(im eating) lol..... hghpro def. helped my recovery, no doubt about it. i gained right around 4-5 lbs through the bottle with no noticable bodyfat changes at all...and im pretty lean so thats saying something.

-also its been over a week without it and i got the rundown, need to recover feeling yest so i had to take off....never got that while on hghpro....and i do not feel as rested when i wake up.....hghpro never really helped to fall asleep which is usually a big pblem for me, but it definitely made a difference on my quality of sleep there is no doubting that.

with all that said id give hghpro a 9/10, the only negative was it didnt make me "sleepy" o well right lol i gained about 5 lbs and recovered much better than ever before which is usually my issue! I would love to run again... I plan to take a little time off and then maybe pick up a bottle....how long woudl u suggest to take off, its already been about 1.5 weeks?

thanks for following along and I will def be posting another log soon, jsut deciding what i want to log.....really hoping i could log some glycobol (put in an app in another thread) but oether than taht i may log slin sane which i have around and also CEE which i jsut bought.....interested to see how that cmpares to mono!

Most run it 8 weeks, though right now we're running a few logs where they are doing 3 bottles straight.
