CJC no-DAC timing on workout days, what actually works for you

Posted by practicalval in GH & Growth Peptides - 1 points, 3 comments.

I have been running CJC-1295 no DAC with ipamorelin for a while now and i keep tweaking when i dose around training and i wanna hear what other people land on. Right now i do 100mcg CJC plus 200 ipa right before bed on rest days and that combo gives me the deep sleep and the tingly hands that tell me something is happening. On lift days though i moved my dose to about 30 min after my last set and honestly the next morning soreness feels like its cut in half and my recovery between sessions is noticeably faster, like im not dragging into the next workout the way i used to.

The half life on no-DAC CJC is only around 30 minutes so timing really does matter i think, and ipa hangs around closer to 2 hours so its doing the longer work. Curious if anyone splits it differently, like a small post workout dose and then another at bedtime, or if you just pick one window and stick with it. Does post workout actually beat pre bed for recovery in your experience or is it a wash.

  • medic_kevin: Interesting topic, i am newer to all this but i run the same combo of cjc no dac plus ipa around 100/200 as well and for what it is worth i tried both ways you mention and what i noticed is that post workout seems better for the next day soreness, kind of like you said, but the deep sleep window feels weaker compared to when i take it right before bed on non training days... Maybe the split would give me both no? I just have not tried splitting yet because i am not sure if two smaller doses woul
  • restless_nomad: Yeah splitting is worth a try honestly, i run something close to that on heavy days, like a small pre bed dose on rest days and then a post workout dose on lift days, but never both same day so i cant speak to that exact thing. Fwiw the pulse from cjc no dac is pretty short so i dont think two smaller doses would be wasted, more or less you would just get two pulses instead of one right? Maybe try a half dose each time for a couple weeks and see how sleep and soreness land, no?
  • practicalval: Yeah two pulses instead of one is kinda how i was thinking about it too, and going half and half keeps the total weekly amount the same so im not chasing a bigger number for the sake of it. The thing im not sure about is whether splitting messes with my sleep if i do a post workout dose at like 8 and then another at 11, would the second one even stack or just feel redundant. How late do you usually do your post workout one on heavy days?
  • practicalval: Yeah that matches what i see too, post workout wins for soreness but the sleep signal is way less than a clean bedtime dose. Splitting is what im leaning toward trying next actually, maybe 100/100 right after my last set and then another 100/100 about an hour before i actually fall asleep, so i get the recovery bump and still keep that deep sleep window. Not sure two smaller ones would be too thin honestly since the pulse from cjc is so short anyway. Do you train late in the day or earlier? Won
