Ok, just started the IGF a few days ago. Going 80mcg day split in two applications. one in the morning and then post workout. My cycle is 1cc test a week and 2 iu of growth. Now the IGF and in 2 days I have gained 4lbs. I am not eating more cals. I am still eating between 6-8k a day. I guess my question is does the IGF cause you to hold much water at the beginning?
 
I never gained any quick weight on it like you do on AAS. But everyone responds different. And you're a big guy....even for me four lbs extra could be a good shit that needs to go.

THAT IS HYSTERICAL.....I actually weighed after "downloading" some information!
 
I've never held water from IGF, so it is really hard to tell, but that's a good bit of weight
 
You said you are using HGH--that will cause some water retention. IGF-1 by itself does not do that. IGF-1 does cause hyperplasia, an increase in muscle fibers, but they are what are termed as "infant" fibers. These fibers then grow larger (hypertrophy) in response to training and AAS usage. This is where the real weight gain occurs, however, it takes some time for that to happen.
 
just trying to figure out where the 4lbs have come in. I am only doing the igf1 as anything different so I figured it came from that, but I am closing in on 270 real quick. Started at 265.

Agreed 100%. Who knows what the weight is from. IGF has strong insulin like effects in some. Combined with your small dose of HGH that may be whats causing it.

This would be my guess as well as I've never known IGF to make one retain water
 
I have two buddys who were on HGH for a months, and when they each added the IGF they both blew up as well, so there is defiantly something to be said for the synergistic effect of igf and hgh or igf and gear or igf and hgh and gear
 
after applying to my tear drops and bis i was holding alot of water around them
especially my tear drops

100mcgs everyday day switching between one and another
