I was wondering I know that if done soon enough you receive a GH bonus from using a hot tube or hot shower post workout. And I was wondering for those of us who do not have access to a hot tube how we should go about doing it with a shower. Is it necessary to manually target the areas trained for the GH benefit? As opposed to just taking a hot shower and not paying attention to where the water sprays.

The goal here is to raise core body temperature. This is why a hot tub or even a hot bath is reccomended. If you only have access to a shower, turn it up high and let the water hit your torso.

right, but when?
an hour after training? (to allow insulin spike to dissapate?)

right after with your protien shake?

I thought that article answered it but I can't find it now.

I believe directly after your workout is the ideal time. I keep reading stories of guys sipping on their PWO shakes in the shower haha. I take mine in the sauna with me.

Someone did a search? Glad this was rehashed. Didn't know the benefits of the hot tub in relation to GH

Hey Joe,

Does using the hot tub too frequently or for too long bad for you? Is there a real limit you would suggest? Thanks.

When I'm feeling achy after lifting I normally go into the steam room for 10-15 mins than thake a shower. Makes me feel a lot better.
