Forgot to apply IGF this mourning ran out late for work. Its 5pm. I'm going to change my dose to 30mcg. I'm going to apply 30mcg now 5pm and then apply the other 30 right before bed. I'm going to work out tonight after the basketball game on T.V. Just working out ABS and Legs. Running for about 15min. Worked out Shoulders the other day and they are sore. Not sure if I'm eating to much but I don't know how guys can eat every 2 to 3 hours and not feel full. On my field training days there is no way I can eat that much before I practice. I feel way to full. Does anybody have an opinion on this thanks. Well I decided to apply 60mcg before bedtime in the right calf no pain what so ever.

Hey guys,

Just finished weighing myself and I have used the same scale since I have started and I'm at 229lbs. Here's what I'm seeing, obviously this is my first cycle applying IGF. I was a little confused on the diet. When I started I was eating about 2600 or less calories and I was losing one to two pounds a week. I was also working out 3 to 4 times a week plus cardio. Then someone on the sight told me that I should be eating a lot more calories at least 3500 when I work out, so I switched my diet and started eating more calories 40-40-20. If you see my journal from last week my intake has increased. I feel better when I eat more and have endurance. Like I said before this is my first cycle I might of jacked it up because I did it wrong. My goal is to lean out and increase my speed. I do want to gain muscle. I want to remain my weight but really lean out. If I can be anywhere between 230 - 240 Lean and gain speed I'm golden. I just need to get my diet right. I get different suggestions. Eat more calories then they tell me eat less with a high protein.What do you guys think? I'm not a bodybuilder I need speed, endurance,power for my sport. My body is forming I can see my chest and legs cutting up a little bit my endurance has also increased. This first cycel I really wanted to see how IGF works in revovery to injury. My Right foot feels really good compared to what it felt like before IGF. It still gets sore after I run but it feels good. I think I'm going to be ready for my big match June 27. In that aspect I'm very impressed. I do have before pics I was going to post them after my cycle is over and it should be over this week or the begining of next week.

Any advise or suggestions always helps. Thanks

IGF works differently for people depending on dose, age, etc. You are going to have to trial and error to see what works best for you. When I am on it, my appetite is stimulated, so I eat more, alot more. Just listen to your body. Well it sounds like you want more muscle and less fat. I had the exact same goal as you last year. I wanted more muscle and less bodyfat. Now I weigh the same (220) except I have about 10% less bodyfat on me. IT makes a huge difference! It took a few cycles of IGF, a clean nutrition plan, supplementation - and some prohormones (Over the counter) to get to my goal. Also I had to work out 6 days a week usually, 3-4 didn't cut it for me, because if you take the same calories on your off day then you will have a surplus of calories. But this is your body and you know it better than any of us so if your body stays in homeostasis then you have to disrupt it to make your body change.

Good to know

Hey thanks for the input. I think my second cycle is going to be much better.

Applied IGF to the right quad no pain just a little sore. Still not feeling good I have a bad cold trying to shake it off. Worked out my chest heavy for an hour. Foot feels good going to try to run 30 tomorrow hopefully I can breath through my nose.
Applied igf in the left shoulder no pain.
I saw a huge of increase of strength on my reps. I worked out with a partner and I was doing over 225 up to 6 reps that is a lot for me. Felt really good felt like I could continue working out. I think in a couple of weeks I will be up to 300 no joke. I'm seeing more results now that I'm working out heavy.

Conclusion to this journal -
Well I have learned a lot about IGF and myself with this diet. I have seen results I lost fat but I maintained my body weight. For the most part the idea was to use the IGF for recovery of a foot injury that has improved so much between 6 weeks. I started sprinting at 70% with a little soreness afterwards but that is normal I haven't ran for 7 months. I have noticed more energy never felt really tired at all just when I didn't eat enough during the day. If I were to work out everyday lifting weights I would of gained a lot more muscle. The pumps I received were really impressive. I believe I still have to do more cycles to see what is best for me and my body. There is so much to learn about IGF that I don't think you will be able to learn everything on one cycle. Next time I will be using it as a PCT. Here are the before and after pictures. I wanted to thank everybody that had comments or interest in the journal I hope one day this will help anybody that wants to try IGF. Until next time.​

[teedubgee]

good progress man, keep at it!

 

[cochino10]

Thanks

Thanks,
I wasnt even working out like I should of. Can't wait until the second cycle.
Quick question no what happens to the body once you stop applying IGF. Since I have more cells now they need to mature right ? Those new cells are for good correct ?

 

[z28stud97]

you cant really prove you have more cells now. maybe your old muscle cells just grew...

If you want to learn about that go look up mitosis and hyperplasia.

 

[The Dude]

you cant really prove you have more cells now. maybe your old muscle cells just grew...

If you want to learn about that go look up mitosis and hyperplasia.

This is true to an extent. You can't ABSOLUTELY prove in his case that hyperplasia occurred, however, once upon a time people said that all creatine did was increase the amount of water held inside muscle leading to increased cellular leverage accounted for the gains on creatine. We now know that to be false. In the OP's case the only way to be sure hyperplasia occurred is to do a coss sectional muscle biopsy before and after IGF administration, HOWEVER, all in-vitro studies have shown IGF treated muscle tissue to undergo hyperplasia. If I were a betting man..... in fact I have put my money were my mouth is and I'm reaping the benefits.
