mkretz on the comback trail with HGHpro!

[mkretz]

Im about 140, dunno bf, but its low..... I cant say i eally notce anything significant after only 3 days, but i havent been crazy sore which is good cuz I am going pretty hard in the gym.

what is your dry weight and bf% at right now?

We should trade measurements. I'll send you mine later today. It'll be cool to see what you do for your lifts


How are you liking HGHPro so far? Any noticeable sleep differences? Personally, I feel like my growth rate has gone up on it. Repair times are quicker and the repaired muscle seems to be, not sure how to say this quickly, but larger than normal. I've seen some solid growth

[mkretz]

Well with the way my meals tend to go during the week i gotta throw them together in a small window towards the night so i usually have a meal with around 30 g carbs or so, some from veggies aroudn 7-73- then pop the hghpro round 845 ish then eat another meal that will have veggies but thats it, otherwise is protein and fat around wel...right now haha 915-930ish.... uu thinkt hat this will mess up my gains? any suggestions?

PM a Mod and maybe they can fix it for you.

These two supps get confused ALL the time

HGHpro is also supposed to be taken all at once, before bed. You're also not supposed to ingest any carbs at least two hours before taking the HGHpro. I actually only use three caps and still get great sleep this way. I've talked to others that do the same. You'll have to play with the dosing and see what works the best for you, though.

I'm just taking it an hour after my last meal bro. I don't really wait to go to bed unless it's convenient

[mkretz]

Since my weight is a lil low compared to what teh product was probably intended i am going to try and do jsut 3 caps fo a a couple days and see how i feel.....

with that said, last night I took the hgh pro with some ZMA (which i had been forgetting to do) and slept great, I woke up to pee a few tiems like always but the sleep really was excellent, normally i take a lil nyquil before i go to sleep and i didnt miss it at all last night, felt great

What do the pluses indicate in your sets? Do you drop weight and squeeze out a few more reps?

Oh, and I PMd a mod and asked him to correct your title

the uulse reps on my calf raises are just more like bouncing, less ROM not a real squeeze either just burning out the muscle......

thanks alot i noticed the new title and like it alot better haha sorry again about that!

[stxnas]

No worries.

I was just wondering about the pluses. I actually keep track of my reps and use the plus sign as a denotation in the same manner you use it.

[mkretz]

oo usaid pluses i thought u said pulses....the pluses are actuallly like extra reps that werent with great form type of thing ya knwo when ur swining the weight or something like that to get some extra reps in on the calf raises i do pulses after i cant do any more strict reps to really burn it out

[GoHardOrGoHme]

Im Late but IM in!!! Subbed!!! Tear it up!

[emiliozapata]

just a quick question on your math. You state you got "sick" and lost 60 lbs. Then state you are about 140 right now(though your avatar says 150), and then state you want to get back to where you were at 170. So when were you 200 plus? Were you a fat 200?

[mkretz]

yea ive been through a couple different stages.....the most i ever weighed was suring high school football at about 174 id say about 8% bf....then when i graduated and was gonna play college football i was about 165 5% bf, then i got sick, was in teh hospital, dropped down to about 110 ....slowly got back up to about 150 (in my avatar) then was taken off of some meds and lost a little and went back down to about 135, got back up to around 140 and i am now currently sitting at 141.2 as of this morning which is up about 2 lbs as of a weekand a half ago sooo going in the right direction

[mkretz]

11/9 - was supposed to be an arm day but my bis were killin me from back day..... so me and a buddy did chest/tris cuz they were both feelin good. Was a little worried cuz i did shoulders yest. but felt pretty good. My back is pretty sore today and also my traps, im guessing mostly from the back workout 2 days ago, went pretty heavy.....feels good though

then we did a tricep superset for 4 sets which was jsut rope pushdowns supersetted with one arm cable pushdowns. Don't remember the weights, jsut goin for a pump, sets were back to back no rest.

-I felt ok today but for some reason i jsut feel liek my weights werent where tehy should be, i mean i know im weaker from taking a break but I dunno felt liek i shoudlve been a littel stronger Energy was def. up in the beginning but I felt liek i was in the gym forever today, I did have to try to shut my buddy up alilttle more than usual haha.

the sleep last night was very good on only 3 caps of hgh pro as well as some ZMA, I woudl say i didnt fall asleep as quick or feel extrmemly sleepy but my sleep once i was asleep was very good and i woke up with more energy than usual today as well. Leg day tomorrow!!!! Usually my legs are still sore form the previous leg workout at least al ittle but not at all even today so my recovery is def. up, can't wait to see how the worout goes tomrorow!

[mxer657]

Nice job. I'm on 3 a day. Actually had a similar workout experience today

[mkretz]

dosed 3 pills again last ngiht along with ZMA and once agian i didnt get the omg im so sleepy feeling or anythign liek that but i slept great, but for some reason this morning i jsut didnt wanna get out of bed, maybe my body jsut needs more rest, im really only sleepin about 7 hours a night if im lucky. Tooday was a killer leg day and will probably only do some abs tomorrow with saturday being a complete off day. The plan is to do about 2800 cals tomorrow with lower carbs since its only abs and maybe calves and about 2400-2500 on saturday with only carbs coming from veggies

[stxnas]

Have you tried four caps yet? A regular dose is actually four capsules.

[mkretz]

yea i did 4 caps the first two nights....only difference i noticed was got more tired.....actual aleep has been the same with three...i jsut figured that since i am aliltle smaller maybe i could get away with only using 3 at a time to get the bottle to last longer.....no?

[stxnas]

That's not uncommon. I've had a few guys tell me that three works just as well as four.

[mkretz]

killer workout prolly wont be walking normal for a while - before hgh pro a workout like this woudl probably have me sore for a week, so this shoudl be interesting to see how quickly i recover

[mkretz]

yeha im jsut gonna stick with 3 for now then to have it last longer... actualyl i think ill do four tonight because of the hard workout i had so i will porbably do 3 every night except on leg days.
