CJC-1295 Muscle Recovery Protocol: Training Day vs Rest Day Comparison
Injection Timing 30–60 min before sleep on training days 30–60 min before sleep on rest days (if dosing ≥3×/week) 2–3×/week aligned with heaviest training sessions Synchronises with nocturnal GH pulse (60–90 min post-sleep onset) and aligns peak IGF-1 (24–48h
This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.
- Injection Timing
- 30–60 min before sleep on training days
- 30–60 min before sleep on rest days (if dosing ≥3×/week)
- 2–3×/week aligned with heaviest training sessions
- Synchronises with nocturnal GH pulse (60–90 min post-sleep onset) and aligns peak IGF-1 (24–48h later) with muscle protein synthesis window
- Dosage Range
- 100–200mcg subcutaneous
- 100mcg (lower end of range)
- Start 100mcg, increase to 200mcg only if training volume increases or IGF-1 response plateaus
- Doses >200mcg show receptor saturation without proportional IGF-1 gain (McGill University dose-response study)
- Expected IGF-1 Peak
- 24–48 hours post-injection
- N/A
- Delayed IGF-1 elevation matches 48h muscle protein synthesis cycle post-resistance training
- Concurrent Peptide Use
- Pair with GHRP (ipamorelin 100–200mcg) if body fat >18% (men) or >25% (women)
- CJC-1295 alone sufficient if lean
- Assess based on body composition and GH sensitivity
- Elevated body fat increases somatostatin tone; GHRPs bypass this inhibition via ghrelin receptor pathway
- Storage & Reconstitution
- Store reconstituted peptide at 2–8°C; use within 28 days (bacteriostatic water)
- Same
- Reconstitute only the quantity needed for 4-week cycle
- Temperature excursion >8°C causes irreversible aggregation; lyophilised powder stable at −20°C for 24+ months
- Professional Assessment
- Training day dosing maximises alignment between exogenous GH amplification and endogenous repair signalling
- Rest day dosing maintains baseline IGF-1 elevation but does not capitalise on training-induced satellite cell priming
- Dose on your two heaviest training days per week (e.g., leg day + back day) to optimise cost-efficiency and receptor sensitivity
