Training naturally for optimal hormonal response

[Grunt76]

So the million$ question is: do all the good hormones increase concomitantly with cortisol or is there a way to structure the workouts so as to maximize GH & test while minimizing cortisol?

I have read a few studies that show that hGH response is the greatest when training with 60-90s rest between sets during 37-45 minutes total and that cortisol increases more when resistance training is continued beyond the 45-minute mark.

Now I also just read that short-rest (60s) training increases cortisol MORE than 3-minutes rest between sets.

This is kinda puzzling. I've done searches on this board and found little, same on PubMed. I know I had found the hGH study on PubMed but can't seem to find it anymore.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
