After The Testosterone Response Charles Poliqiun wrote part 2, The Growth Hormone Response, presenting lots of studies that looked at what factors influence GH release.
1) Use a High Total Volume of Work and Short Rest Periods
2) A Hypertrophy-Type Protocol is Best to Trigger GH
3) Train Above the Lactate Threshold: Lactate Associated with GH Release
4) Use Eccentric-Enhanced Lifts: Increase GH and Lactate
5) Do Conditioning with Sprint Intervals to Trigger GH
6) Target GH Bursts With Nutrition
7) Take EAAs and Train to Failure: Sensitize the Muscle to Feeding
8) Strategic Programming to Be Anabolic: Do Large Muscle Mass Lifts First
9) Take Arginine, Ornithine, and Betaine
10) Take Alpha-GPC: Stimulate GH and Produce More Force
11) How to Use Longer Rest Periods For Maximal GH Release
In part three of his Get Anabolic series, Charles Poliqion takes a look at Insulin-Like Growth Factor.
1) How Can Raising IGF Levels Make Me Stronger and Bigger?
2) Maximize IGF-1 Release with a Hypertrophy-Type Program
3) I Want to Get Lean. What Happens to IGF-1 if I Restrict Energy Intake?
4) Get Anabolic with Sprint Intervals
5) Take Magnesium to Raise IGF-1 Levels
6) Raise IGF-1 Levels With Resistance Training for Bone Health
7) Vary Your Tempo and Use Eccentric Pauses to Elevate IGF-1
8) How Can I Apply Tempo Training to Give Me Bigger Arms and More IGF?
9) Take Arginine, Ornithine, and Betaine
10) Take Phosphatidyl-Choline to Improve IGF-1 Levels and Sleep Better
