Ok, Let's set the stage here. The product is IGF-1 Long, from MuscleChemistry, and is being stored in the freezer. I plan on doing 40-50mcg a day in the morning. I am continuing on a high protein, mod fat (EFA's), low (not zero) carb diet because typically this works best for me. My goal: hmmm, a bit complicated. Aesthetically I am using it for cutting - decrease body fat, gain a bit of muscle mass. However it's more than just that. I own my own biz and went through a really intense year of high stress = 18 hr days, 1.5 hrs training a day, and as you can imagine, about 4 hours sleep. At the end of that period my body crashed... my adrenals were BURNT, which affected my endocrine system, energy, metabolism and then some. It's been about 5-6 months yet ,my body is still in repair. I wanted to take the IGF because I knew it would also speed up this process (since it is derived from GH). So in essence, my main goal is BF loss, but I am looking forward to other benefits.
Stats: 5'3, Mesomorph. 26 yrs old.
Normally between 112 and 115 at 14% BF, but have gone up to 125/126 and ? BF over the past few months. I have never taken any AAS and am currently taking IGF alone. I now train 5 days a week (2 days on 1 day off), about 45 min weight with Praetorian and 30 min cardio. I started walking in the morning for 20 min as soon as I wake up B4 breakfast. I think that's about all the variables we need to consider...
Ok, now to the good stuff
I started yesterday. Day 1) Didn't feel a thing except perhaps a bit tired - hard to tell because I didn't get much sleep the night before.
Day 2) Today. Still, no fatigue, no hunger pangs. In fact, I found it to be a bit of an appetite suppressant if you can believe that.
Went to the gym to do Quads and Calves and I felt a pump like you wouldn't believe. IT was great. I injured my back a few weeks ago so I have been going easy with the weights, but this time I had the strength to squat 95 lbs (which was the weight I was pushing prior to the injury).
Now... for me to get such a pump I imagine that blood is pumping through my veins and a faster rate right? With regard to that, when I was working out, I also felt that my heart was pumping HARDER if that makes sense. Definite side effect of IGF. I take a deep breath before I push a weight and hold that breath almost throughout the movement in order to stabilize my body and use all my strength so I definately felt the blood pumping through - my heart almost felt 'strained'. Anyone else get that feeling on this? Women in general are more prone to heart palpitations so it may not be a side effect that you guys would notice.
My prediction? I think IGF will react very different with women. I think it's something that works synergistically with anabolics and those doing it alone are at an advantage, however I do presume that I will be able to gain some muscle on this. As for fat loss, minimal. But that's my hypothesis. Comments?
