Just ordered IGF-1 for first time, help me out a little

Ok, this is a remedial question, but...

What size needles to use for IGF application? I'm going to be using it in my arms for starters, as I see many others do. I've injected myself with Test Cyp and HCG before, but always in a preloaded needle from the doc. So I don't know what size either one was (both were different sizes, the HCG in a shorter, thinner needle, maybe an inch long; the Test in the larger, longer one, maybe an inch and a quarter long.

So help me out: what do y'all use for IGF? And do I just cruise into a pharmacy and ask for them? Never bought syringes before, obviously. I live in NJ, by the way, not sure if what the deal is with buying syringes here.

Thanks for any help!!
 
Ok, I'm squared away with syringes for the time being. I have another remedial question: do you apply igf-1 as is straight out of the vial? Or is it necessary to draw up some bacteriostatic water or something else with it before applying?

That being said, I just ordered igf-lr3 as well. I get the site thing, the dosage things, I just need to know the diet for lean mass during> any suggestions?

you ordered from us?
 
Ok, not getting any help here. Just pinned my first dose of igf -1. 20 mcg per tricep pre workout. According to my ciphering, that's only 2 units each tricep, which seems like a miniscule amount, but I am feeling it... we shall see.

what aren't ya getting help with brutha? and yes it will be a very little amount, as its measured in mcgs, so yes it looks minuscule as you put it.

very true the first time I measured it I thought to myself there's no way that's right, it definitely was though.
 
My question was, do I need to draw anything else up with the igf, like bacteriostatic water, or just pin it by itself?

And yes, 20 mcg in each side seems like just a couple drips! Tricep hurt plenty from it, though...
 
Let me just confirm that I have this figured right: one unit on an insulin pin is 10mcg. Right? So 30 mcg is 3 units. It seems like it isn't even enough to get it out of the syringe and into the injection site! Crazy.......
 
My first time pinning the IGF, I fuxed up and mis read the slin pinn and drew way way too muck and pinned it. It left me with a bruise on my stomach the size of a small pancake. Scared the shit out of me. If you are old like me (54) make shre you got pins that you can read.
