Question about Testosterone/GH response to training

Tagio

New member
Ok so I've read that training, especially big compound exercises like squats, releases testosterone and GH. GH response is proportional to lactic acid buildup, so high-rep 'burn' sets release more GH (or decreased rest times between low-rep sets or whatever).

ok I have 2 questions:

where is the testosterone released from in your body
and
where is the GH released from?


also, is the increase in GH response due to lowered rest times significant? I might start doing this as I'm shedding bodyfat right now and GH is supposedly very helpful. Also I may start adding a high-rep, low weight set after my worksets on squats and core exercises for GH response and increased bloodflow (for instance 135 for reps until I feel like failure is 2 or 3 reps away). Is that worthwhile?

also, would pure protein post-workout, without carbs, prolong/increase the GH response to the workout?
 
1. Testosterone released from testes (or ovaries)
2. GH released from Pituitary gland

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry I don't know about your other questions.

do no do this...insulin (released from eating carbs) is far more anabolic than GH and youll just be delaying recovery and protein synthesis
