I just hit day 30 on my IGF application (30 application days, 12 off days). (The first pic is 25 days before I started (wish I had a day of pic) and the second is today. I have never posted to this board but thought that it would be fitting to do so. From the start, I weighed 171 lbs and was aprox 13% body fat. Today I still weigh 171 lbs but am around 5% body fat according to the caliper measurements. I have taken 4 units of IGF in my lower abdomen pre-workout 5 days per week. My diet has played a major role in the changes that have taken place. I aim for 3200-3800 calories per day, 200g+ of protein, moderate amounts of fat, and then I've tried to keep the simple sugars (except from natural sources, ie. fruits, veggies) to a minimum after 8pm. Additional supplements I've been taking are Tonalin (twice daily), X-tend (Citrulline Malate, mixed with water and drank throghout my workout) and A-AKG (pre-workout).
My training goals are much different than most people on this board because of my occupation. My goal is to stay as lean as possible while slowly adding muscle without losing any weight so this has helped in that matter althouth I am unsure how much has to do with my extreme change to diet and exercise and how much has to do with the IGF.
My training has gone something like this for a normal week:
Day 1- Chest & Triceps, 2 exercises for each supersetted between a strength lift and a stability lift with 3 sets for each to failure. (Ie. Dumbell bench press followed by dumbell presses on a stability ball) This is the same formula used for every other body part also so I pick 2 of the listed lifts for each workout day.
Day 2- Back& Biceps (Barbell Rows, Seated Rows, Dumbell Rows, Pulldowns), (Barbell Curls, Concentration Curls, Preacher Curls, Cable Curls)
Day 3 - Legs (Squats, Walking dumbell lunges, Leg Extensions, Leg Press),(Deadlifts every Leg workout), (Seated Calf Raises every Leg Workout)
Day 4 - Shoulders (Military Press, Standing Flys, Front Raises, Upright Cable Rows, Dumbbell Shrugs)
Day 5 - Chest & Biceps (Bench Press, Incline Bench Press, Incline Dumbell Bench Press, Incline Flys, Pullovers)
Days 6&7- Off, both workout and IGF (Sometimes I swim laps on one of these days)
On days 1-5 I run 3 miles per day post-work out and also do an ab routine that I concocted.
Things I've noticed while on IGF:
- Extreme hunger. I never really feel full even when I eat 3500 calories throghout the day.
- Joint pain. I noticed this at the end of the first week and added a Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM supplement and it has helped with this.
- Confidence. This may simply have to do with looking better, but it's pushed things over from the confident level to the cocky level. Oh well
Anyway, hope this is a good read for you guys.
