The Ultimate Log (peps, hgh, slin, syntherol, pge-1 etc)

I ended up having my slin and fruit smoothie about 2 hours after my previous meal. I had my serving of pre workout and a home made scone and left for the gym. I trained back, calves and hams and finished with 10 mins of intense cardio. I trained for about 2 1/2 hours and pushed it. Probably about 40 sets for back... I was dripping with sweat the entire time. The pump I got from the slin and pre workout was insane. It effected my grip strength as my forearms/bi-ceps (and the rest of me) got so pumped up. I made good use of my lifting wraps tonight.

I had 1 serving of secret sauce post workout in the sauna and that went down well (tastes great). When I got home I shot 150mcg cjc no dac and ghrp-2... 15 mins later 2IU hgh. The pep combo made me go hypo bad... I started cooking my post workout meal after the pep shots. I could feel it so I had a yoghurt whilst I cooked. By the time I done the rice and chicken and plated up I probably left it a few mins too much. The sweat was dripping off me, hands were shaking and my legs felt like jelly. People say peps (ghrh/ghrp) can't make you go hypo and it's the ghrelin release but trust me this was hypo. I started to feel better once I ate my meal... I drizzled honey on top of the chicken to speed up the process.

I have never done too much research on this subject but I know GH has an effect on various bodily systems that can cause hypo and hyperglycemia. This was definitely hypoglycemia though. I have just researched the subject and found these studies:

Mechanisms of disease: metabolic effects of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1.

LeRoith D1, Yakar S.

Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 is a member of a family that is involved in growth, development, cell differentiation, and metabolism. IGF1, IGF2 and insulin act primarily through tyrosine-kinase-linked receptors--the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) and insulin receptor (IR). The IGF1R binds IGF1 and IGF2 with high affinity and the IR binds insulin with high affinity; however, since both receptors share a high degree of structural and functional homology, the IGF1R can bind insulin and the IR can bind the IGFs with reduced affinity. These two receptors can, moreover, form heterodimers, which bind both ligands. Upon binding to the receptors, cascades of tyrosine and serine kinases are stimulated to facilitate growth or metabolism. The IGF2 receptor is a scavenger receptor, and is, therefore, not involved in mediation of growth or metabolic effects of the IGF family and will not be discussed in the current article. IGF1 is a major gene target of growth hormone and its product mediates many of the actions of growth hormone on growth and development; however, IGF1 has actions distinct from those of growth hormone in carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. For example, excess growth hormone causes insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, whereas IGF1 has insulin-like effects that reduce blood glucose levels and has been used experimentally to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Concordant and discordant adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) responses induced by growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and insulin-induced hypoglycemia in patients with hypothalamopituitary disorders: evidence for direct ACTH releasing activity of GHRP-2.


Kimura T1, Shimatsu A, Arimura H, Mori H, Tokitou A, Fukudome M, Nakazaki M, Tei C.

Abstract

The insulin-induced hypoglycemia test (insulin tolerance test: ITT) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) test are used to examine the activities of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2), a potent GH secretagogue, also stimulates adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion. To evaluate the role of GHRP-2 in assessing the HPA axis, we examined 6 patients with various hypothalamo-pituitary disorders, and measured ACTH and cortisol responses during provocative tests (ITT, CRH, and GHRP-2 test). None of the 6 patients showed any significant ACTH or cortisol responses to ITT, but significant ACTH release was observed during CRH and GHRP-2 tests. These findings suggest GHRP-2 may directly stimulate ACTH secretion in patients with hypothalamo-pituitary disorders.

Hypoglycemia stimulates ACTH secretion through a direct effect on the basal hypothalamus.Aizawa T, Yasuda N, Greer MA.

Abstract

The primary site of action of insulin hypoglycemia to induce ACTH secretion was investigated in rats with medial basal hypothalamic ablation (MBHA), medial basal hypothalamic deafferentation (MBHD), and chlorpromazine-morphine-pentobarbital (C-M-P) treatment. Plasma corticosterone (B) concentration was used as an index of ACTH secretion. Hypoglycemia failed to provoke ACTH secretion in MBHA and C-M-P treated animals, while it stimulated ACTH secretion in MBHD animals to the same extent as in controls. The rise in plasma B induced by synthetic lysine-vasopressin injection was not significantly different between MBHA and control animals, indicating pituitary ACTH reserve was not affected by the operation. Our data indicate that hypoglycemia stimulates ACTH secretion through a primary effect in the medial basal hypothalamus and not in the extrahypothalamic CNS or adenohyphophysis.

Profiling of Glucose-Sensing Neurons Reveals that GHRH Neurons Are Activated by Hypoglycemia.


Stanley S1, Domingos AI, Kelly L, Garfield A, Damanpour S, Heisler L, Friedman J.

Abstract

Comprehensive transcriptional profiling of glucose-sensing neurons is challenging because of low expression levels of glucokinase (Gck) and other key proteins that transduce a glucose signal. To overcome this, we generated and validated transgenic mice with a neuronal/endocrine-specific Gck promoter driving cre expression and mated them to mice with cre-dependent expression of an EGFP-tagged ribosomal protein construct (EEF1A1-LSL.EGFPL10) that can be used to map and profile cells. We found significant Gck expression in hypothalamic and limbic regions in cells that are activated following administration of glucose or 2-deoxyglucose. Transcriptional profiling from Gck-cre/EEF1A1-LSL.EGFPL10 mice enriched known and previously unknown glucose-sensing populations including neurons expressing growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Electrophysiological recordings show that hypoglycemia activates GHRH neurons, suggesting a mechanistic link between hypoglycemia and growth hormone release. These studies provide a means for mapping glucose-sensitive neurons and for generating transcriptional profiles from other cell types expressing cre in a cell-specific manner.

I will do more research on the subject when I have time. Regardless I am feeling good and looking forward to training 2moro night. I am thinking shoulders, arms and quads.
 
So when you get this hypo feeling how long to settle it down? And what best to do so?

Couldnt you just keep some life savers or glucose tabs handy for the situation ?

I gets that feeling to often now days and crave sugar or just need to eat something quik ...

Just started happening in my 40's...
 
When I use slin I always take precautions. Firstly I don't take more than 10IU ever. I will usually have a fruit/protein smoothie afterwards so some carbs in that. Then I have an intra shake for the gym (I take it pre workout). In that shake I usually have 75g carbs.
With slin you should try and get the most out of it. I cringe when I see guys saying stuff like I am gonna try and get away with 40g carbs with 10IU because they are scared to get fat. I use it for ultimate fullness and pump in the gym. I have more than enough carbs to cover myself plus I have a bag of sweets in my gym bag incase of an emergency. I am very slin sensitive though so need quite a lot of carbs. I now take GDA's to increase my slin sensitivity when I am off it too. These include things like alpha lipoic acid, chromium, banaba extract and cinnamon.

Hard training will also make you extra slin sensitive so if I ever use it post workout I have to be extra careful. So yes I am covered all the time. The problem with last time though was my peptide combo caused it when I took them post workout. This was after the slin was active (I use short acting slin). I could feel it within 5 mins of injecting my peps. Like with any hypo event the best thing to do is eat carbs. I had made chicken and rice. To help even more I drizzled the chicken with honey. Once you go hypo even if you eat 100g sugar really fast it will take 5 mins to start to feel better. Last time I was back to normal in about 20 mins but started to feel much better within about 10 mins.

The key is to spot it early... actually to not even spot it as if you have a steady supply of carbs it will never come. For guys who ever want to use slin pre workout say you need about 100g carbs to stop you going hypo. I 100% recommend drinking them very slowly throughout your workout. Sip on your intra drink after every set. I know for a fact (it has happened to me) if I drink it fast about 1 hour later I will go hypo (this with even fast acting slin).

Btw chromium picolinate is a good supplement for sugar cravings.

Nice info...I use chromium picolinate and vanadyl sulfate usually on keto or low carb runs
 
Things have been good. I feel like I am getting bigger/thicker. Quite a few things to report over the last few days. I was working more and quite busy so have been feeling tired. I need to get out of the habit of taking a pre workout drink before training. They have less of an effect due to my caffeine tolerance increasing.

I went 2 days without peps/hgh. So I decided to try 4IU with peps pre bed and it was crazy. I woke up and couldn't move my hands. I wish I could take this hgh at 5IU twice daily eod.

Since last night I have had a whole jar of nutella. That is over 2000 cals of pure crap. Gonna clean my diet up and try to avoid high salt too.

I was so tired yesterday after work and little sleep so I just relaxed. I didn't inject anything as I felt like a break from it all.

Tonight I trained back. Pre workout I had chicken with boiled rice with piri piri seasoning. I took 8IU slin and sipped on my intra shake of 20g BCAA's and 75g of HBCD's. I also had 1 scoop of outlift and trained hard. Many people know I have a bad lower back. I am avoiding certain exercises and won't be doing them again. However tonight I was so pumped up and feeling great after 45 mins training I thought I would try light weight t-bar rows. Literally 2 plates so it felt like nothing. Thought I would do 20 reps rest for 10 secs and do another 20... play it safe. On about the 15th rep my back 'cracked.' Nothing too bad but I half expected a spasm to come but fortunately it didn't. It has felt tender ever since so I will have to be extra careful over the next few days to prevent it from going. Looks like I have got away with it and I certainly won't be doing t-bar rows again. Gonna get my back looked at as it's getting ridiculous.

I should note post workout I had 1 serving of secret sauce. Then I had a nap for 30 mins (strange) and later cooked a big meal. That was Ribeye steak with 2 large pieces of toasted Rye bread with butter and grilled cinnamon pineapple. Gonna cook another meal now... maybe scrambled egg with coconut oil and fried onions.

I am ready for the week ahead... gonna train hard and eat good. I am working more due to Xmas but will fit everything in.
