That sounds great! Do you think there could be mild testosterone and hgh boost?

We could shoot for one, but it probably won't boost test, hgh, igf levels as much as working out, getting the right foods and getting some good sleep. I don't know how much of what I'm about to say you already know, so I'll repeat it all because I know there will be many who think the key is to increase this or that hormone.

The problem with increasing test levels even a little amount out of normal range is, especially if the user has significant body-fat, is aromatization into estradiol. So we can shoot for keeping the body's test levels as high in its natural range as possible but anything after that, you'll notice supplements that increase test levels you can only take a short time because the body WILL deal with the imbalance eventually and there would be no point in the supplement anymore.

As much as I would love to say to Shannon we should increase this or that hormone in the body, even if we were to pull it off the body has ways of converting excess or it comes out in negative side effects. This is why steroid users often have to run aromatase inhibitors (effectively estrogen blockers) and they are constantly looking to outsmart nature and the body.

The titles he has released already on doing this (increase testosterone, hgh) do not take into account an athlete or aspiring athlete who already have or will have healthy levels most of the time. Those titles are, for a generally healthy athlete who has their rest, diet, in check and no other health problems those titles, not useful.

Yeah I hear what you're saying, and I definitely don't mean steroid level increases, I just mean optimal/maximal normal levels. Kind of like imitating someone who has great natural genetics for bodybuilding.
They usually have high test, high leptin levels, great insulin sensitivity etc.
