you could look at the studies done on kids with dwarfism. that will give you what a normal base gh and igf guideline is and then what they do to bring it up to normal. of course that's from a clinical pov and we all know they dont always have the best info that translates into bbing and athletics.

on the blasting thought. all you are doing with this approach is trying to mimic the bodies normal growth peaks sort of. you can play around with it a little bit but most try to hit it pretty hard
