TweetNot gonna lie... Working arms sucked today. My hands are constantly numb and I have painful pumps in my forearms. Nice to know the gh is gtg. I was able to knock out a low rep set of dumbbell curls with 60's which is a huge deal for me. Over the years no matter how big my arms have got I have always sucked at curling.

TweetGym is going good. Strength gains are coming and gaining decent weight. I'm not bloating nearly like I expected. Think it's a combo of not eating quite enough the AI and the hgh kicking in concurrently with the dbol. My appetite still isn't what it should be and I think this cycle will turn out to be more of a lean bulker than a huge mass bulker. I'm fine with it though... I'm happy where my strength is going and I feel like I'm looking pretty jacked. Time will tell. Ate quite a few cheat meals over the last week during family events but I'm back on track now.

TweetBattling a cold so took today off

TweetDropped my hgh dose to just under 3 iu/ day in 2 doses. Taking half first thing in the AM and the other half right before bed. I know I've heard 37 y/I may be too young to be doing the right before bed dose but I've been having trouble sleeping and I heard hgh sleep is stellar so I gave it a shot and slept like a baby. I know I may be crushing my freebie pulse at night but I figure good rest equals good growth. If anyone experienced is reading this I'd love to hear your thoughts. The reason I dropped my dose is I've developed carpal tunnel in my right hand and the pain at night was getting rough. I am taking B6 as well.
Strength is creeping up and I am quite bloated according to my friends who haven't seen me in a few weeks.

TweetI think you are making a good choice. Studies have shown that 2 injections split through the day create a higher igf1 level than one bolus injection. I prefer mine am/pm also.

I keep telling myself I am going to do lighter sets of 50 like you suggested but I am a big *****. LOL. I get lactic acid buildup in my legs so quickly that by the 20th rep I'm burning even on light sets.
