In response to:But getting a boost in growth hormone should come from natural sources, not drug injections, say an increasing number of doctors and nutritionists. In other words: if you want the anti-aging benefits of HGH, you'll be far better off finding ways to allow your body to create the substance on its own.
Not really there is no better way of getting it than from an injection your body simply can not produce as much as you can safely inject , for the record HGH is not technically a drug whilst it does sometimes have drugs added to preserve it , it is a hormone extracted from cadavers , this is why it is so expensive (actually it has recently dropped in price) the fact that it comes from cadavers is what also makes the black market products so dangerous , this is on account of some peoples lack of screening for things like HIV , hepatises and so forth , the main thing used as fake HGH is an infant growth hormone taken from the placenta this hormone is relatively cheap and extremely common in the body building scene (one of it’s main uses is in post cycle therapy to speed up the reproductive systems recovery after being shut down from high doses of steroids )

The number one method for convincing your body to generate HGH is high intensity strength training. It's yet one more good reason to start a program of strength training, and it doesn't mean you need to join a gym or start pumping weights, either. You can get a fantastic, high-intensity workout using nothing but your body and a mat on the floor if you learn about something called "body weight training."
Body weight training is not high intensity training, High intensity strength training requires performing resistance training using weights or resistance machines ,

For starters, try a one-legged squat. Just stand on one leg, lower yourself to the ground, then raised yourself back up without using your other leg. Not so easy, is it?
Im not trying to start an argument or have a go at you personally but I have to point out that the info you supplied on single leg bodyweight squats is inadequate for any one to fallow and perform them with proper/safe form
In response to:
Studies show that growth hormone is produced during the later stages of nightly sleep, and if you cut your sleep short (five or six hours instead of seven or eight), you short-change your HGH production. Sleep is absolutely essential for staying young, healthy, and vibrant. Aim for eight hours each night.
It’s not about how long you sleep it’s about the type of sleep , GH is released predominately during deep sleep 5 - 6 hours can be plenty for a lot of people , a great supplement for getting you into the deep sleep quickly is ZMA it wont help you drop off but when you do you will have a really good nights sleep
