IGF-1 and fat loss?

FWIW, I personally feel that for fat loss, it is more effective to do sub q. That being said, I did lose BF% while doing IM. I feel like it last in my system for a longer period of time sub q. Which in theory I think it makes sense because the absorption would be a tad slower than IM. I am going to experiment with my next run with 40mcg sub-q in the morning, and 40mcg bilateral IM pre-WO.
I'm curious what it is about IGF -1 that causes the vascularity. I'm into my IGF -1 run for maybe 2 months now? Something like that. And I've gotten pretty vascular. I wouldn't say I've leaned out all that much, in fact, I don't think my abs look much different (I haven't been trying to get leaner, so this isn't really an issue). This is making me think the vascularity is not related to fat loss... Anyone got an explanation for it?

Ok quick question on fat loss and igf 1, since we are all using MC long acting. Has anyone had any experience with timing of dosages and more or less fat loss?
In theory it shouldn't matter right??, but 'in theory' you should be able to take lr3 8 hours before your workout and get the same pump..............it doesn't seem to work as well. I like to take it before workout and hence the reason for the fat loss question. Is there a better time than others to take the product to specifically help on the fat loss side?

No,there is not a better time to take your IGF 1 Lr3 in order to maximize fat loss, however I am of the opinion that SubQ is better than I.M. for fat reduction, and that I.M. is best suited for muscle gains. Of course you will see muscle gains and fat loss both ways, but i do believe that one way is best suited for one thing and vice versa.
This however is only anecdotal evidence through my 15 plus years of using IGF 1 and the first 5 maybe 6 years i would switch back and forth between I.M. and Subq, and that is what I found to be true for myself.
If You are more vascular now on IGF 1 lr3 but know its not due to your losing body fat, then your increased vascularity is due to the follwoing two things:
1). Your RBC is up, more blood volume more pronounced vascularity.
2). The added Nutrient uptake from the IGF, and Added Glycogen, helps keep the muscles much fuller throughout the day, not just in the gym.
So the RBC volume increase and the Fuller muscles pushing those veins to the outer surface of the skin is whats causing the added vascularity.
This is also why equipoise is associated with Freaky big thick veins popping out as we all know Equipoise / Boldenone increases RBC.
True True and True!
But when strict with diet, IGF-1 lr3 is one of the best Fatloss tools out there especially combined with a steroid cycle. I have usedit both alone and with gear, and of course it works either way. But on cycle, man its a serious recomp tool! Fat loss and lean muscle gains change the way you look pretty fast when your diet is in check with serious training of course.
Your not going to sit around and lose bodyfat , but working out regulalry and with diet in check , this stuff is no joke!
