Faster Recovery?
Have you used anything or do you do anything that you feel significantly improves your workout recovery time?
I'm 39 and I'm on 200mg Test C a week and 4iu GH a day and I feel like it takes forever to recover these days... I'm scared to come off the damn GH in case it starts taking even longer lol.

How's your sleep? Do you feel like you are getting a good nights sleep and well rested when you wake up? Are you on any specific type of diet right now?

No, dammit. This is the one area that I have a real hard time with. I just run wide open all the time. I try to get good sleep but I usually don't. If I get 8 hours one night I'll get four hours the next. It's very hard to overcome.
As far as diet, nothing weird. Just balanced macros, super clean (on a good week) and limited calories. Extremely limited salt, sugar, simple carbs etc. I'm shooting for losing about a pound a week or so. Got about 40 lbs. down and about another 40 lbs. to go.

Have u tried any sleep supplements zma is a great one helps sleep and recovery. 5% nutrition has a great sleep aid and night time aminos for improved faster recovery, animal has a PM recovery sleep aid never tried it before but its a great brand. I have a newborn baby so I feel your pain on not getting enough sleep.

what's your training schedule like? are you hitting muscle groups once a week or twice a week? I agree with the sleep part though. I struggle with it as well. If I can get 2 nights of 8 hours plus I feel much better the rest of the week

I try to hit everything twice a week but usually I don't feel fully recovered on the second pass, especially for larger muscle groups.

thats something I've been playing with. I've been just smashing one muscle group a day. It seems to help with recovery for me. I'm a competitive soccer coach so my weekends are shot. I need to get all my workouts in during the week. Then I spend all weekend on my feet trying to recovery... Doesn't always work out for me ha!

As mentioned earlier, getting sufficient sleep is very important. Also, a good diet. Offhand, looking at your reply about training, you might be overtraining? Perhaps back off on the number of times you train muscle groups each week and see if that has any effect?

Sleep should be a priority as mentioned above. Also, make sure that the nutrition you're getting right before and right after your workout are quality meals. That should help. Try to refuel your muscles immediately after training them.
Look into taking melatonin. Do u take your gh at night before bed?
