First post -- I pieced together what I think is a good format for my sermorelin therapy and I'd like to get you guys' input, since I've gotten so much useful info from this forum already.
First off, some background info:
I'm 42 and been on TRT for almost eight weeks (200mg test-cyp / week with HcG and AI)
I do heavy weights and HIIT cardio four times a week and steady-state cardio the other three, just to burn some fat and as an active recovery
I eat about 20 kcal / lb of body weight on a keto-type diet -- 70% calories from fat, 30% from protein and as few carbs as possible
I was interested in HGH therapy for quite some time, but heard some good things about sermorelin as a less-expensive and legal alternative with fewer risks because it stimulates your body to produce HGH, instead of introducing HGH directly.
My primary goal is anti-aging, but I also have the short-term goals of building muscle while getting leaner on my current lean bulk, preserving muscle mass when I go on a more aggressive cut and most importantly preventing injuries like tendonitis from the heavy training.
I bought six, 5mg vials from Blue Sky Peptides and plan on the following:
-- reconstituting each 5mg vial with 2.5ml bac-water
-- injecting 25 units with an insulin syringe sub-cut every evening before bed and 2-hrs after my last meal
-- storing the vials in the freezer before reconstituting them and in the refrigerator after I reconstituted them into liquid form
Here are my questions:
-- reconstituted as such, 25 units should equal 500mcg / 0.5mg per day, right?
-- is 500mcg / day for the first 12-months a decent dosage that I can expect to provide decent results in terms of recovery, injury prevention / healing and lean muscle building or should I do 1mg? -- I do understand that it will be at least four-six months before I experience any noticeable results
-- will the recovery and injury-prevention benefits of sermorelin enable me to workout longer / more often than without it and still stay free of overuse injuries like tendonitis?
-- will my low-carb / high-fat diet have any effect on my sermorelin results? I haven't read anything from someone who was on low-carb and peptides . . .
Here's another question that I haven't seen addressed before -- should I take my sermorelin injection at the same time every night or when I actually go to bed? I am not a very big partier, but there are times when I go out and don't get back until later at night or just stay home and go to bed later. Should I always try to take my injection at, say 9PM, even if I don't go to bed until 1 or 2AM, or should I hold off until 1 or 2AM?
Thanks to everyone for all that I've learned from this forum already and thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer this thread!
