I dose peptides either before or after training and it does not seem to matter. Morning, evening, fasted or fed, the IGF-1 stays elevated and muscle keeps coming. I check IGF-1 monthly and timing changes have not moved the numbers much. Still gaining muscle while dropping fat. The main thing is just lifting. If a peptide keeps you awake, shift it or skip it because good sleep beats any small dose of a GHRH for recovery. Obsessing over protein timing windows is not worth it for someone who is not a pro. Pick a schedule that lets you keep lifting consistently for years.
Curious what others do for timing supplements, peptides, and food around early training sessions, mainly weights but the same pattern works for cardio or sports too. Quick background: early 40s, long-time lifter, 6' 215 lbs, started tirz back in January from 265. Shifting into recomp now, goal around 205-210. IGF-1 tested a couple times this year with a z-score of 0.3 right before the current CJC/IPA run. Testosterone recovered to the low-normal range once the weight came off. Planning to try the GH peptides first before considering TRT. Built muscle fine while heavier despite the low T, but some lean mass dropped after starting tirz. Current setup: up around 5:15, pin 500 mg CJC/IPA blend, zero-calorie energy shot, then lift for an hour starting near 5:30 followed by 15-30 minutes of zone work.
