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?
