After reading the "Understanding IGF thread" I really want to give it a try. I have some questions though, so hopefully some bros on here can help me out.
1. For my first cycle, I am planning on buying 2 1mL bottles and doing a 50 day cycle of 40mcg per day, 5 times a week for 10 weeks. This will be the first time I've ever taken anything other than creatine and protein. With that in mind, is this ok for a first timer?
2. What size needles would you guys recommend? What is a good length and gauge for minimal pain?
3. I figured the places for injections should be the same as those listed for AAS on this site. Is this correct? I assume with IGF it is still a good idea to do aspiration before injection?
4. From what I've read it seems most people are doing Intramuscular injections. Is this the most effective way to administer IGF? When injecting with this method, is the place where it is injected important? I was thinking to inject it into the muscle group that I worked out that day unless another method is more effective. Also, is injetion immediately following working out the most efficient time to inject?
5. I plan on continuing to drink a whey protein shake immediately following workout and will most likely buy some casein protein to drink before bed. Is this sufficient along with a clean diet? Below I've outlined my eating regiment last Friday which is fairly typical. Please feel free to make suggestions as I know it's probably far from ideal.
Diet
7:15 am - 2 packets Oatmeal
Workout
9:15am - 2 scoops whey protein w/ 2 TBSP peanut butter
10:45am - 4 eggs scrambled
12:30pm - 8oz chicken breast, Banana
3:00pm - 8oz chicken breast, 1/2 can green beans, "South Beach Diet"
Protein bar
5:00pm - 8oz chicken breast, Small salad, 2 whole eggs
8:00pm - 1 scoop whey protein w/ 1 TBSP peanut butter
Some days I don't wake up early enough to get the oatmeal in, but everything post workout is pretty consistant. I enjoy some wine on the weekends.
6. Right now my workout regimine consists of
Monday-Back, Biceps
Tuesday-Abs
Wednesday-Legs
Thursday-Light cardio
Friday-Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Sat/Sun-Rest
How is that for a routine on IGF? Should I split up some muscle groups and do more on Tuesdays or Thursdays and work the muscle groups out more intensely?
I know that's more than a couple questions but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
