Reggie's Getting Knocked Out With Finaflex G8

Slept great last night until about 5am. I do remember waking up once to go to the bathroom and was pretty loopy, kinda stumbled into the kitchen table on my way by lol
 
Nothing like a great nights sleep. Feeling much better today and looking forward to hittin it hard at the gym.

One thing to note is I'm having really crazy dreams. I should go to sleep with paper and pen by my bed and when I wake up write them down, some of them would be good movie scripts lol

Lol. If you are remembering then then those are most likely coming during the REM cycle. That's where you wanna be :)
 
Last night was the first night in 3 days that I've taken G8 again. Slept great, and ready to go hang with the family. Have an awesome Thanksgiving guys!!!

Nice nice.

How has sleep been overall so far? Thoughts on doses you have used and everything.

that's where it gets weird lol 1/2-3/4 scoop has been pretty good. I only wake up a couple of times. 1 scoop or more and I tend to wake up more and feel like crap the next day. Bp feels higher, headaches etc

interesting
at the end of the day however, the "less is more" approach is always better anyway, at least financially
 
Couldn't agree more!! It also seems that on nights I don't take it I still sleep better than before G8

Has the same effect on me....slept without G8 tonight and slept better than before I started with G8.

Real life/game changer , G8:)
 
1/2 scoop last night and only woke twice to pee. If I didn't have to go more often than my grandpa I would sleep through the night :Flush:
 
Went to bed too late last night to take G8 and get enough hours of sleep. Slept fairly well but no dreams :(
 
I have been sticking to 3/4 scoop and think I've found the money spot. Slept great once again. I stopped taking one of the "bulking" supps I was taking and my bp has been perfect! Thinking that was the problem the whole time.

Doggone bulking supps. Sometimes they make the body do crazy things. Risk vs reward.

Very true reward was good for awhile but sides started getting too bad.

It's a very fine line to walk with stuff like that. BP headaches, bloody noses, lethargy, and symptoms of that sort are never really fun to deal with. If it results in a 3-5lb gain in LBM, I'm not absolutely sure it's worth it. The hard part is knowing when to stop though, as the "gains" are often times deceiving. Putting on 25lbs in 30 days is awesome and feels very rewarding, but what you actually keep from that once glycogen stores deplete to normal and water is shed is, ultimately, far less. I'm at an age where I'm not sure that I want to go that route again. Joints start to suffer and I don't "heal" as fast as I once did. I can't see my liver, but I'm sure it appreciates my choice to steer clear of "bulking" supps.

Very very good point! I generally put on 10-12 lbs "on" and come away after pct with about 3-5 lbs Haven't had many issues on previous runs but I think I went too long with too strong of doses this time. I'm going to take a nice long break from it and just hit it natty. I'm getting too old myself :)
 
I've been sleeping like a champ the last few days. Started mixing the G8 with some bcaa's for added benefits :)

Sounds solid. I need to get more BCAA's. I have been trying to get a protein shake down at night, but it is difficult with my G8. Maybe it is fine, but it feels like I shouldn't have them too close together.

I hear you on the protein shakes. I've thought about taking the G8 and then half an hour later drinking some casein protein but wasn't sure myself
 
Well.......if you do casein at night then take G8 first. Then thirty minutes later take the casein RIGHT before falling asleep.
 
niners4reggie said:
So my thinking was on point. Thanks Bro Montana

Yes sir.

I would just skip the casein all together if it were me tbh. Last meal of the day for me is usually full of slow digesting protein any way so that keeps me feed for a majority, if not the entire, night.

I suppose if the casein was low carb it wouldn't matter though....the insulin spike is what we are trying to avoid with fasted use of G8.

With no insulin running through the system the body will start to produce gh quicker then if you were to have an insulin spike and delayed the release of gh in turn for igf.

I would actually go the other way around, but whatever trips your trigger
point of fact: all food will cause an elevation of insulation, protein included..
it's just that carbs specifically (simple carbs especially) create more of a spike than other macros

Well yeah.

The insulin spike wasn't my only point of fact here though just s bigger one.

The other point, that I didn't state, was that with casein digesting so slowly, it might slow the absorption of G8 as well.

no
G8 taken 30min post-shake, should be more than ample time to clear
you guys give this "slow-digesting" bit too much credit lol
insulin spike will not be "slow", clears quickly

I just think I'm right :P

no



your best bet?
simply have shake 1hr pre-bed/G8 .. boom, problem solved
another concept that you guys seem to put too much emphasis on, is this belief that you have to have some nutrition as close to bed as possible (or the extreme, waking up in middle of night to down a shake lol)
simply not needed

No no no. This last point had nothing to do with insulin. It had to do with the G8 sitting on top of the casein while it curdles in his stomach.
 
My thinking was more to keep me from waking up in the middle of the night hungry. Which seems to happen if I don't have something an hour or so before bed.
 
Slept great last night. Took G8 and laid in bed with my wife. Turned on a movie and within 10 minutes I was passing out. Haven't experienced any "carry over" effects for some time.
 
Didn't sleep very good the last couple of nights. Its coming up on the anniversary of the death of a very good friend of mine that unfortunately I had a part in the big picture. Weighs heavily on me daily but even more so this time of year. The last couple of nights I've had dreams about him and what happened.

Damn thats heavy reggie. Sorry bout your loss. 2yrs ago today i lost my grandpa, so i get what you mean. Its good to think about them,just not dwell on it you know. There is no sense worrying about things in which you have no control. Stay strong brother.

Thanks bro, I carry a lot of guilt inside for this. It happened 5 years ago but it's something I will have to live with for the rest of my life as ultimately I am a key player in his death. To this day I have trouble facing his mom. She keeps telling my wife that she doesn't blame me at all but that doesn't seem to make a difference to me. I don't talk about it much but it's been pretty overwhelming the last couple of days.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer here guys.

Everyone needs someone to lean on sometime,i dont care how much ya squat. Talking is the best way to help disperse and ease some of the guilt and put things in perspective. You cant change what happened,but living with constant blame is no way to live.
