MC IGF1-LR3 Log and Review

[TravisBLKMACH]

Sorry for getting a late start on this but this has been a crazy week. This new cycle I will be running 500 mg test cyp/ week, and mc's IGF1-LR3 at 60mcgs/ day mon-fri on workout days and taking sat and sun off. Plan to run the IGF for 6 weeks, and possibly adding in equi and tren in this cycle later on, but for now I want to test the results of the igf by itself. Presser was very kind enough to send this to me after my wife had cleaned out the fridge and threw my previous supply of igf away before I could even start.

A little background on me, I am 42 years old, have been lifting seriously for the last 15 years and up until a year and half ago been all natural. I have been cycling of and on (mostly on) just in the last year and a half.

Stats:
5'11"
neck -16.5
shoulders -51
chest - 44
waist 35.5
thigh - R23 L24
arms- 16
calves - 14

Before starting, weight was 194.6 and body fat is 14% (a little high for me it's usually around 12%, but Just coming off the holidays I did eat a lot of pecan pie and sweets).

Here is Day 1 photo before starting

Day 1- CHEST AND SHOULDERS

nutrition - most days are consistent and usually are close to the same with the exception of the weekend of some slight variation.
Meal 1 - 2 scoops whey protein
Meal 2 - 4 eggs and 1 cup oatmeal or Naked Green Machine
Meal 3 - post workout- 3 scoops whey protein
Meal 4 - 2 grilled chicken breast sandwiches
Meal 5 - 3 packets of tuna with 1 cup brown rice
Meal 6 - 8 oz of steak or chicken with serving of vegetables and 1 cup brown rice
Meal 7 - if I'm still hungry

I'm going to try different combinations to see what works best for me as far as taking the IGF before or after working out, but for this week, they will all be taken about 30 min prior to working out. Since today was chest and shoulders, I injected 30mcgs in each pec. This was my first time using an insulin needle, all I've had to compare with is the 23 gauge needle I used for test and deca. Quite painless and very quick. I did experience a little soreness in my right pec at the injection site at the beginning of my workout, but it went away after about 30 minutes. Overall didn't notice anything different. It is still Day 1.

WORKOUT
Flat bench - 225 5 sets of 6
incline - 205 5 sets of 6
flye machine - 175 5 sets of 6
cable crossovers - 42.5 5 sets of 6
Hammer strength shoulder press - 270 5 sets of 6
cable upright rows - 85 5 sets of 6
dumbbell side raises - 30's 5 sets of 6
rear delt machine - 95 5 sets of 6

This was my first week of heavy weight after going light for the last 2 months, so I usually start out with sets of 6 which doesn't produce a great pump. So I may switch things up a bit next week as far as rep ranges go to utilize the effects of the igf

Day 2 - BACK

Since I can't split the dose and inject my back, I did the whole 60mcgs in the abdomen. Again, no pain, and pumps were about what they usually are.

Workout
Deadlifts - 275 5 sets of 6
Lat pull downs - 200 5 sets of 6
Hammer strength rows - 270 5 sets of 6
T bar rows - 160 5 sets of 6
Reverse pull downs - 200 5 sets of 6

Nice my brother. You have a good log so far. Try pinning that igf in your biceps too. That's my go to for it.

DAY 3 - LEGS (otherwise known as HOLY CRAP THE PUMPS ARE REAL)

So I believe today was the day I felt the first real effects of this IGF. Since it was leg day (Wednesday at my gym is national leg day anyway) I decided to inject in the calves that is severely lagging body part for me. Splitting the dose 30 mcgs in each calf (it actually may have been 40 those lines are so tiny on insulin needles) imjecting was a piece of cake, and I'm starting to like it more than the bigger needles I have gotten used to. Okay, I haven't even made it from walking from my car to the locker room and I'm starting to feel it. I usually warm up a little on the treadmill before I do legs, and by the time I was on the treadmill, my calves were screaming. The best way to describe it is it felt like my calves were tight and sore as if I had killed them in the gym YESTERDAY. RIDICULOUS. I was walking funny and I haven't even start yet ha ha...needless to say I am excited about what's to come.

Workout:
Squats - 245 5 sets of 6
Leg press - 540 5 sets of 6
leg curls - 180 5 sets of 6
leg extensions - 195 5 sets of 6
standing calf raises - 120, 140, 160 3 sets of 15
seated calf raises - 90 3 sets of 15
donkey calf raises on hip sled - 185 3 sets of 15

DAY 4 - ABS

Today was my normal abs and cardio day, but I was running on only about 3 hours of sleep from the night before. So I decided to skip the workout and get some rest. I still pinned 60 mcgs in the abdomen today.

Side note: Calves are CRAZY sore.

DAY 5 - ARMS!! <--- Yes I like arm day

After experiencing what I did with calves, I was really eager to see how this would feel on a good arm day. I normally can get a pretty good pump, and I wasn't sure if I should take my normal dosing of pre workout or not, but I decided to anyway. That usually consists of an ephedra caffeine stack with a scoop of Old Jack. Of the 2 that I feel need it the most, I want more size in the triceps so that me where I went. And just like with calves, the pump was almost instantaneous. However this time with a slight difference. I only got a real intense pump and soreness in my right tricep, but not in my left. Wondering if I had injected in different spots. At any rate, I got a great arm workout in. AND calves are still really sore!

Workout:
Rope pressdowns 20 3x15
straight bar press downs- 85 5x6
barbell curls - 70 80 90 90 95
skull crushers - 90 5x6
dumbell curls - 50 5 x 6
overhead extensions - 85 5x6
preacher curls - 90 5 x6
dips - 3x 15
double cable curls - 35 5x6

- - - Updated - - -

That's it for week 1 taking sat and sun off for rest.

Looking good bro!! Real good actually!

 

[TravisBLKMACH]

Noticed some bruising on the right tricep at injection site. Feels "puffy" like its holding fluid. Is this normal or has this happened to anyone?

It happens to me too sometimes never have had an issue beyond that. My training partner only does it sub q and it looks like he has hickeys all over his stomach just bruise no pain

DAY 10 - LEGS

OK- shoulders are STILL sore, biceps are sore, lats are sore, and since it's leg day I'm pinning calves again, and within minutes they are sore too. It feels great. Today is similar to last weeks arm day as I feel it mostly in my right calf and. It so much in my left. Not sure why that keeps happening. And I swear my calves look bigger (and sheesh they need it), but I want to hold off a little while longer to do measurements. I felt really strong today, and although it's just my second week back doing heavy weight, I felt like I could have gone much heavier.

Workout:

Squats - 135x15 , 185x12 , 225x10 , 275x8 , 315x6 (yes the same thing I did for deadlifts)
Leg press - 450x12 , 540x10 , 630x8 , 720x6

leg curls - 110x12 , 130x10 , 150x8 , 180x6
Leg extensions
standing calf raises 3 x 15
seated calf raises
donkey calf raises

DAY 11 - ABS AND CARDIO

Nothing much to report today except for EVERYTHING HURTS. More pain today pinning in the abdomen too. I don't think it's pip, it's more of the effects of the IGF. Been eating clean all week for the most part. Today was just a 2 mile run and some various an exercises.

 

[TravisBLKMACH]

Day - 12 ARMS

Today everything seems to be coming together and I'm looking tighter and leaner. Another progress pic, and although this is post workout with pump in full swing, I notice my shoulders and midsection leaning out.

Workout:

Superset - Barbell curls with pressdowns 12 10 8 6 (tendinitis in my elbows is starting to come back with a vengeance now that I am back to doing some heavy weight again. Had been feeling better and deca previously made elbows feel
great, so hoping the igf will help as well. Had to modify a few tricep exercises in the meantime.)

supersets - dumbbell curls with dumbbell skullcrushers 12 10 8 6
supersets - preacher curls with overhead extensions
supersets - double cable curls with cable kickbacks

 

[KngShisa]

Looking great bro! Your arms actually look bigger than 16"
