Hi all....let me first state that I am pumped to be here and this site has been awesome. Such great info and members willing to help and share experiences. Presser has been great and I really have to give a shout to Nikon cause without him, I would be a lost puppy. Nikon has been a tremendous help and always took the time to discuss any questions I had and also shoot the shit. Thank you again my man.
So let's kick this off. Finally received a nice shipment of IGF and it was delivered fast and packaged right. Top quality for sure! Presser goes out of his way when sending out these packages. After hours of reading about IGF and many questions answered, it sounded like a no brainer to get this going. So a lil history....been out of the gym for close to 16 years. Used be extremely dedicated and in great shape. Fast forward to now, I am back in action with a new goal and focus. Unfortunately it started with an uphill climb since I packed on about 100lbs from my prime weight. Luckily I kinda wear the extra weight well, but it was no good and not healthy at all. So I started dieting earlier this year and finally hit the gym 2 months ago. Went right back to my old ways, but of course didnt have my old strength. Slowly is has been coming back and I am seeing a big difference. I am now down 60lbs.
I thought it was important to start with some history and now discuss my diet and supplements. My diet has been very clean. Eating 5-6 times a day usually. Typical mornings would look like this:
Egg whites, 2 scoops of almond butter, either steel cut oatmeal or 2 slices of organic sprouted flax bread. Sometimes I work in a coffee.
3 hours later I have a protein shake (JYM Whey which is fantastic - awesome profile) and either a serving of protein granola or these chia omega bars.
2 hours later a lunch - solid protein source of either chicken, shrimp or sashimi and then veggies.
On training days - I have a mass builder shaker and then a meal an hour after that.
Concerning supps, I have a specific routine I would like to share.
Wake up: Serving of my N.O. pills and BCAAs mixed with 5mg of Glutamine.
After Breakfast: Multivitamins, CLA, L Carnitine.
After lunch: CLA and L Carnitine
Preworkout: DYNO by RSP, 10MG of Creatine and half a scoop of Waxy Maize (carb drink - GREAT stuff - transports glycogen right into the muscles)
During workout: Sipping on BCCAs mixed with a full scoop of Waxy.
PostWorkout shake: Mass builder (17g of fat, 40g protein and 34gs of carbs - 450cal)
Last serving of CLA and L Carnitine
Before bed: BCCAs, 5mg of Glutamine, 2000mg of Arginine/Ornithine and 1000mg of l-lysine
So all of this has been going on for 2 months now and today we introduce......IGFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!
I started with 40mcg in the biceps - 20 in each. Pinned fine and shortly after felt a little tighten. So that should be a tell tale sign that I got into the muscle. Today was Back and Bi's. Now after 15mins as instructed, I took down the preworkout shake above but this time I added a full scoop of Waxy to get 40g of carbs and added 24g of whey. Then I hit the gym 30 mins later.
I started with BI's and I felt strong. I could feel a bit of soreness at the pin site and they started to get a bit tight. Here was my routine:
Standing Barbell Curls - 4 sets (actually put up more weight tonight)
Standing hammer curls - 3 sets
Seated Preacher curls - 3 sets
Standing Cable curls - 3 sets
Rope pully curls - 3 sets
I always work in a few sets for forearms as well
I felt strong and pumped. Bi's were tight. The pump was very good. Nothing extreme though but good. I was sipping my carbs throughout.
I then finished with back - consisted of 12-13 sets. Pulldowns, seated rows, standing rows and pull ups.
2 hours+ later and my arms still feel tight and a bit pumped. I am really excited on how this will progress. Tomorrow is shoulders and I am already thinking of bumping up to 60mcg.
Would love some feedback. I plan on keeping this updated to track progress. I am hoping to gain more size and strength before I start to add more into this mix. Thanks guys!!
