Resistance Training (Most Important) 3-4 sessions per week, 45-60 minutes each Why resistance training is non-negotiable: Preserves and builds muscle during caloric deficit Increases daily calorie burn (muscle burns more at rest) Enhances insulin sensitivity Maximizes the muscle-building effects of elevated GH Optimal Training Split: Full Body 3x per week (Best for most people) Monday: Full body (squats, bench press, rows, etc.) Wednesday: Full body Friday: Full body Or Upper/Lower 4x per week (For advanced lifters) Monday: Upper body Tuesday: Lower body Thursday: Upper body Friday: Lower body Exercise Selection: Focus on compound movements that work multiple muscle groups: Lower Body: squats, deadlifts, lunges, leg press Upper Body: bench press, rows, pull-ups, overhead press Core: planks, ab wheel, hanging leg raises Cardio (Optional but Beneficial) 2-3 sessions per week, 20-30 minutes HIIT Cardio (Most Effective) High-intensity intervals synergize with elevated GH: Sprint intervals on bike, treadmill, or rowing machine Work: 30-60 seconds all-out effort Rest: 60-90 seconds easy pace Repeat 8-12 rounds Total time: 15-20 minutes Steady-State Cardio Lower intensity, longer duration: Walking, cycling, swimming Moderate pace (can hold conversation) 30-45 minutes Good for additional calorie burn without impacting recovery Recovery and Sleep Elevated GH dramatically improves recovery, but you still need: 7-9 hours sleep nightly peptides improve sleep quality, take advantage 1-2 complete rest days per week no structured exercise Active recovery walking, stretching, yoga on rest days Realistic Weight Loss Timeline on CJC-1295/Ipamorelin Setting realistic expectations prevents discouragement
