Keep going! GH release doesn't start dropping until the 6th month! Even after 2 years the gh increase is nearly 40% over baseline. I would plan on at least a 6 month run tbh.

Tapering up does seem to be the best way to keep the gh release as far above baseline as possible.

right now I am at 30 mg per day, what dose would you suggest for a long run ?

Diminishing returns don't occur until 100mg. 25mg was used as the control dose in all the studies and it proved to be effective so I would stick with 30mg for another few months and maybe go up to 40mg.

Yup - maybe drop back to 10mg for 3 months, then bump up to 20mg again. I've started back on 10mg after a break, having finished up at 30mg last time. It's good, I could happily sit at this dose for years...or until an injury comes along...touch wood. 20 - 30mg was great but tiring.

You've only just warmed up on MK Rocket, keep that train rolling! :slaphappy:
 
...or whatever Mr Yates recommends :thumbsup:

Never really looked in to cycling mk, could very well be an effective method for dosing.

Yeah, I wonder about 3 months @ 10mg, 3 months @ 20mg, 3 months @ 30mg, then 3 months off. Repeat. Curious to know how that would look in tests.
 
Don't think i'd like the 3 months off though...

I can never do squats and deads on same day
I almost fell over last time I tried that lol

Its definitely something you have to get used to and sure doesn't make Mondays easy but that is just how my deadlifts work in to my current program. I just throw leg extensions between the squats and deads to give my back at least a few minutes rest before putting it back in action, it seems to be just enough time to let the pump die down a little.

Had to make myself leave the gym this morning, was having a great time lifting. The 30 degree weather provided a little motivation to hang out a little longer too. I wish my company wasn't so cheap, a track hoe with some heat would be fantastic! That's ok, change is coming. I will be leaving my job here pretty soon to be full time in the supplement industry, let's just hope I can be sucessful enough to pay the bills :)
 
Good to hear you are following your passion Yates
Also got my wife to get some yateswifey pants and she can't get enough of them.
