Is IGF for me?

I am 21 years old 6' 2" 190lbs. I am in all around good shape. I haven't lifted in 3-4 months though. Never was huge into lifting, but I really want to make a push this year. I don't condemn those that use gear, but that stuff is just not for me. I simply don't wanna deal with the side-effects. IGF seems a lot better, especially for longterm since it literally increases muscle cells. It will most likely be something I look back as a good decision when im 40, 50, etc.

Anyhow, I am contemplating doing 20mcg twice a day for 7 weeks. What my normal supplements are going to be are...

Protein
Creatine
Tribulus Terrestis // Icariin (Natural test boosters)
ZMA
Yohimbe/ECA (weight loss combo)

I'll prolly even cycle through the creatine, test boosters, and weight loss stuff :) Since I haven't had ECA or creatine in a while and I have never used test boosters or IGF I wanna take it slow.

Questions I have...

1. Does it seem if IGF "is for me" and would "work for me?"
2. How much BW would I put in with 20mcg of IGF?
3. Any recommendations for a newbie - diet, working out, sleep, side-effects etc?

Please give me feedback from your experiences. I know there is a lot of knowledge here and I humbly want to learn more about IGF. Thank you!

EDIT: I intend to swim in the mornings for cardio 6 days a week. I also intend to do Mike Mentzer's HIT routine. I know it's crazy but I like it. It's chest/back 1st Tuesday, Legs 1st Saturday, then arms/delts 2nd Tuesday and Legs again 2nd saturday. Traditional bodybuilding hitting the gym 4+ times a week doesn't really do it for me. I see more gains with more rest :confused:

I dont know anyone igf wont work well for. But at that amount (20mcg) you should see postive results no matter what your doing. As you become more comfortable with IGF, you might want to try (40mcgs).

I've personally had no problem under (80mcgs). After that, the pumps get so bad its hard to swim or run.
 
I have been stalking around the boards and I am thinking of doing 60mcg brown down into 2 x 30mcg doses 5 days on 2 days off til I finish 2mg which is a little under 7 weeks. My pecs and back could use a little boost to get me back into lifting and I think IGF will help do that.
 
2 more questions and then I'm done, I promise :)

1. Sub-Q or intramuscular injections?
2. Should I wait til after I am done cycling IGF to use yohimbe/ECA stack?
 
IGF will work wonders for you man, but you have to stick to your plan. You seem like you have a decent one planned out. Just get a good diet together and be consistent.
