GH and sauna

d-gal · 2008-07-24 19:16:19

was talking to a experienced olympic lifter in my gym last week and he said over in bulgaria after each gym session they take there shake into the sauna and drink it and sit there for a while coz your GH are increased greatly. Anyone ever here it before or make any logic from it?

GH can be boosted by many things, sauna's are 1, but its not significant enough that i'd be reccomending it..

Hmm bulgarian weightlifters using SAUNA's to increase GH.... I'm sure they're do something (;)) to increase GH, but it ain't saunas. They may help with recovery tho.

Wow. Old post.

This is true though; GH release is significant.
