How long is your own natural growth hormone released?
ad
Okay. Maybe in the wrong forum. So we all know that the best mass builders are squats, deadlifts and bench. We also know that your legs, your back and your chest release the most natural growth hormone. IGF-1. So my question is, how long after we squat, dead or bench are these hormones released? Hours? Days? So with this I wonder since the legs secret the most is it better to train legs at the beginning of your workout week to use these hormones during your training and the anabolic state that you put your body in or do you save the legs for last so your body uses them during your rest days? Say like you take Saturday and Sunday off or whatever variation that your routine is. Maybe a dumb question but just thought that I'd ask.

I believe it depends on your level of workout and your body. As what I have learned, natural growth hormones are naturally at its peak during your first 30 minutes of exercise, and as you can maintain a good release of hormones with the right intensity of exercise.

It depends on the intensity of the workout.
AnonI think its only a few hours if even that long. I usually do compound exersizes as warmup then blast heavy squats or bench (depending on what workout your doing) at the start. Leaves you busted for the rest of the workout, but I see the best results starting with this rather than finishing. Protien straight after train too. Then a kebab lol.
