I paid for a 12 week coaching with Branch Warren last year. I probably started at the wrong time diet wise since I hit all of the end of year holidays including Jan 1st. But I was motivated and pretty much stayed on track. He asked what I was using so I told him. It was 500.cyp a week and 4iu's hgh a day. My goal was to build muscle while losing fat. The training regimen was brutal. The diet near impossible. But I did it. About week 7 I was really not recovering as quickly, in spite of all the proteins I was consuming. And in spite of all the food intake, I was dropping weight, which was what he wanted to see. But back to my story, I was in pain all the time. And at 68 at the time recovery was an issue. So I called him, and was like Branch, dude, I ache all.over. I'm just not recovering like I was early on. I'm going to.increase my test to.750 a week. He's like, no don't do thst. Increase you growth to 6iu's instead of 4. Surprisingly it worked. So there's a question here. Why did the growth work in speeding recovery better than the test would have? My thinking was he didn't want me gaining any excess water weight, when everything else was geared to losing water. I'd love to hear what you guys think?
