The Dude's IGF Comeback
Things have almost settled down and I'm now able to start living a normal life again. I'm going to give a quick recap of my limitations and circumstances. Then I was going to see what you guys thought of my intended program.
In 2013 I was in a car accident which led to me having a 3 level cervical fusion and being forced to resign/ retire. I have some nerve damage which was helped dramatically with my last run of IGF. My pension board tried to argue and successfully did argue that regardless of what the neurosurgeon said I could not be disabled considering what I looked like. I had to disappear from any social media footprints and had to change gyms and cover up. Now I'm in a precarious position of needing a second fusion, but I really don't want to go through that again. My muscle don't fire as efficiently as they did, but I make do. This is a whole body shot from several months ago

And the bathroom shot a minute ago. Granted I look better pumped up but I need accurate pics for comparison. I can't squat, deadlift, shoulder press and other compound movements so I do most of my training on machines. My right leg has bad nerve damage so leg training is precarious. My goal is to get that freaky bodybuilder look again. I'm 5'9 around 230-235 and I'm pretty lean. Recently I've been training two or three days a week. Cardio 5 days a week.
Up to now I was doing 200 test cyp, 400 Deca, and 400 EQ. My dosing wasn't very consistent so some weeks only got half of that.
I have a very specific look and goal and I'm going to show you guys how I feel it should be approached. Theres alot of misunderstanding about IGF and being as I've used a tremendous amount over the last nearly 10 years I feel I'm pretty qualified to talk about it.
My goal is a 6 month run. My diet will be 300g of protein from lean sources, eggs, wheat bread, brown rice, you know normal stuff. I'll also have pizza or whatever once a week. Cardio takes care of my tendency to over eat.
This is a pic.from just now.showing that I've kept the same shape as in that photo above

My cycle will be based around some pretty stout IGF dosing. I will also do my part to explain the effects of IGF as they differ from AAS and anything else on the market. I need some help putting my cycle together and it will likely change along the way. I got my diet back in order.
For instance today I had 4 whole eggs, 3 whites, and 6 oz turkey sausage. Next three meals were 8oz of pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes... and a bag of kettle cooked chips. And a couple protein bars with peanut butter and Nutella.
Physique changes:
I'd like to add 5 lbs of muscle and 1" to my calves. I will be using ALOT of MC IGF as the best way to explain MC IGF is to call it a physique changer. I am going to get rock hard and dense. My goal is to develop deeper seperation and detail as well as hoping to get my quads wider from the front. This is the kind of thing that IGF develops... Physique changes...
Potential cycle
400mg Test
600mg Deca
600mg Masteron
I'm going to do 100mcg per training day and perhaps 50mcg on non training days. There are other things that I may experiment with as well.
I'm still waiting on my supplies so any suggestions feel free to pitch inthudgens96 thanked for this postthudgens96 liked this post

And Silk will be posting up a log in the female forum as well. Make sure to check it out. She's going to use Ligandrol and MC IGF.

So Friday I did 60mcg of IGF prior to training and I didn't feel much. It wasn't a bad workout, but it.wasn't anything to write home about. I did some diet cleaning yesterday and ate better. I did 80mcg today and man I've got to tell you... The Dude is back! I felt great I was strong.. and one of the bigger guys in the gym actually came up to me while doing calves and asked how I stay in such great shape all the time. The gym I train at is probably one of the top gyms in the country... in fact Erica Stern was there while I was training... lots of Pros so you can imagine what I'm saying when I say "one of the bigger guys". It could've been coincidence, but it felt pretty damn good. I hope to get the stuff to change up my compounds in the next couple weeks.

What do you guys think about doing a log adding nothing but MC IGF and Ligandrol?? I've been on the same stuff for over a year so it would be pretty easy to tell what's going on? I haven't found anything one way or another about adding a SARM to AAS... I mean yes they both compete for receptors, but so does every AAS we eat or inject... thoughts?

Good workout today despite being tired from yesterday and this puppy keeping me up all hours of the night. My normal morning routine which normally takes me about 30 minutes now take 2 hours with thenpuppy.
Again I looked very full and VERY lean today. Strength was up a little. This is my second day in a row training and I'm considering doing the IGF ED this time. Keeping my AAS the same and adding Ligandrol and IGF sounds very appealingIron Game, thudgens96 liked this post

it's decided.... MC IGF and SARMS cycle log
I'm going to keep my AAS as they are. Currently I'm doing
250mg of test every 5 days
350mg of Deca every 5 days
350mg of EQ every 5 days
I just added MC IGF and I'm on day 2 at 80mcg. I'm going to add some Ligandrol shortly. I will probably do about 10mg of Ligandrol per day. Starting weight is 230lbs at 5'9Iron Game, LeatherHead liked this post

No gym today and technically my 3rd day of IGF. I've always done only training days and Presser says ED so I'm going to give his way a shot. I'll do less each application, but get the same or a little more per week. I'm hoping the LGD gets here this week. I've been focusing on eating more meat lately. No less than 2 lbs per day. Other than that protein is coming from Turkey sausage, Greek yogurt, and eggs. I have a protein shake only after training. I'm doing about 45 minutes of cardio per day. I'm getting old and I've done some experimenting in my day so I've got to keep the ticker healthy. The new puppy is my main form of cardio on non training days.

In my ambien induced stupor last night I found an old bottle of Hex. It has been reconstituted for well over a year. I guessed based on what I had read that it would be almost useless so I did 5 tics. That was a bad idea. I went badly hypo and ate 4 cups of yogurt and 12 oz of steak. I was holding some water today and still feeling a bit off. I was stronger even though I had no stimulants and no green malay. I'll probably take tomorrow off and hope that everything arrives by Friday. I'm running low on IGF.

My MC IGF and Ligandrol arrived today! So like a real junkie I dosed immediately. I did half a dropper and held it under my tongue for a couple minutes. Then I chased it with grapefruit juice. I'm taking today off since Silk has the day off and we're hoping to get some stuff done. Tomorrow is legs.

Perma-pump just hit me after doing my IGF dose. Man it feels good. I'm noticing that I'm craving calorie dense food and I'm eating more. Between coming home from the gym yesterday and now ive eaten an entire Stromboli Prior to this it wasn't uncommon for me to only eat twice in a day... I know it's bad, but between moving and everything else bodybuilding had to take a backseat. I've got a serious craving for steak which is strange. I've already had two meals today and I didn't get out of bed until noon. I just feel good today... I don't expect to feel much tomorrow, but as you guys know I'll share regardless.
I ran out of ECA and bought a preworkout yesterday but didn't notice it had no stimulants. So... back to looking and I'll mix them I guess. With the IGF I really don't need a nitric oxide product.

I get the Walgreens Asthma relief ephedrine. It's the HCL version so exactly what we used to do. It's 12.5mg per tab. We are out, so we are picking some up. We're only allowed 2 boxes at a time per 2 weeks or whatever. Do you want me to grab a couple boxes for you? I remember Primatine having a different ephedrine in it. Either way I can get it and was going to get some after the gym so let me know if you want some.

I did legs today and it was obvious something was different. My whole body had a great pump. In fact one guy came up to me and asked if I had implants in my shoulders..? I didn't know there was such a thing. But the exciting part was this was at the end of my leg workout when my upper body was shriveled... well as small as it gets... and I swear this actually happened...
I was strong, but I only went up in weight on one exercise. The others I simply did more reps... to include 35 rep sets on the leg press... the most impressive thing was that I powered through my workout... I finished up and considering doing more... but then I thought that since I had already used more weight and more reps I decided not to push it too soon. This is what happens after nearly 25 years of training... my appetite has been substantial.. however I'm not going to BS you guys. My diet isn't super clean usually. I was blessed with a decent metabolism and I do a good bit of cardio. Basically as long as I get my protein I usually eat pretty much what I want. In saying that my diet since starting IGF has been a little lax.. so... there could be some benefit to that.. although when I would do this without IGF I would simply bloat and smooth out. It never made any difference in my strength. I know through my previous years of IGF use that it allows your body to use the calories you consume much more effectively... and I want a few pounds of muscle.
Other than that I feel really good. I'm not sure how to explain it. My muscle feel good and pumped and I feel tight. I leterally get pumped up walking my puppy around the neighborhood... so naturally I do it with no shirt on
I'm totally undecided if I should train tomorrow. It would be chest and that is by far my worst bodypart.. it's also the least exciting bodypart for me to train. I haven't had a good chest workout in probably 8 months or more. I also usually don't train the day after legs as the following workout usually suffers... but I feel good and I'm excited to train.
I'm not sure what happened. Chest used to be my favorite bodypart and now I just can't get into it. I have great mind to muscle connection, but it's just not fun for me. I'm thinking about trying something like FST7 or one of those programs. As far as food and supplements I'm in a great environment for growth.
What do you guys think?Last edited by The Dude; 03-04-2016 at 08:22 PM.

I tried FST7 for a couple weeks. I switched it up to GVT and have really liked that a lot better. I needed the muscle confusion!

German Volume Training? Is that the 10 sets of 10 reps? I did DC training a few years ago and that was good, but I'm really not interested in lifting heavy and risking injury. I read a little about the FST7 and I think I may incorporate that. We will see. With my diet cleaned up a little and the IGF and Ligandrol I should be in a pretty prime environment for growth.
I have to train tomorrow. I feel different and I feel ... primed... I'm currently trying to find a new job and it's been tough and I'm having some issues due to that. This is really giving me something positive to focus on.
Im hoping for a bottle of S4 to add to the ligandrol and IGF... now that would be a hot thread. I've also got a couple bottles of syntherol.... hhhmmmm....

Something is officially different. Normally training chest after legs guarantees a poor workout. Well... this was the best chest workout I have had in no less than 8 months. I was strong and everything felt good. I felt thick and dense and I pumped up VERY quickly. I did the FST7 thing after spending a few hours reading about it last night and man did I swell up...
On another note being as I have done IGF for years and I'm very familiar with its effects and the onset of those effects there are two possible conclusions... somehow I just happened to have a stellar workout for a completely inexplicable reason.... or the LGD produces some effects very quickly.
Today I was very round and thick and I looked like something was definitely different. I saw the eyes... that could be entirely IGF since that stuff makes me look freaky really quickly. What it doesn't do is have pronounced effects on my strength after only a few days of use.
This has me really excited about these SARMS and I want to stack them... but I also want to see what effects each one has. What if I did the IGF and Ligandrol for the first 4 weeks alone and then added S4 for the final 4 weeks giving a total of 8 weeks on the LGD? I don't know what I will do after that 8 weeks, but it will be a fun 8 weeks. I very rarely get on the scale, but I'm going to give it a solid 2 weeks and then I will see what the scale says and take some pics.Presser thanked for this postPresser, thudgens96 liked this post

I didn't train today and man I had a debilitating headache... maybe a migraine since it was at the base of my skull... spent most of the day on the couch. I'm thinking perhaps BP related? I have been eating a ton lately and last night I had about 4lbs of Corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. I'm not kidding... 4lbs.. I ate decent today, but again it was high in sodium. I took a dyazide an hour or so ago and I'm waiting for my sleep stuff to kick in. Hopefully I can sleep it off. Back and traps tomorrow. Maybe hams. I feel very thick and full... I FEEL like I've gained 10lbs... I also got a wild hair up my ass last night and decided to put some syntherol I'm my pecs. I'm going to give it a go for a few weeks and see what happens. The shit ain't easy. 5 Shots in each pec. I'm going to do EOD. I am undecided about volume and I started at a total of 3ml per pec.

Your post actually convinced me to suck it up and do the shots before the gym. I feel like I have tits and should be wearing a bra...
Other than that my puppy really f-ed up my workout. I didnt get more than 30 minutes of uninterrupted sleep at one time last night... and then she was up screaming at 0730.. once again it took until damn near 1130 before I was ready to leave for the gym. I think the dyazide may have messed me up last night. I felt very dry and flat this morning and I didn't think to chug the water. My hams were cramping walking to the gym from my truck. I got a pump, but not like I was anticipating. I was also balls tired... even with an ECA and my Kratom. I just couldn't get into it. Despite that... I was anywhere from 10-25 lbs stronger on every exercise. My workout again was decent I just couldn't get into it... and my tits are bleeding all over my brand new underarmour shirt. I'm undecided if I will take tomorrow off. I already took yesterday off.Iron Game liked this post

I'm still undecided as to what I think. I'm definitely stronger, but I'm having a hard time getting into it. I'm tired all the time. Even taking ECA and Kratom. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing or what. I'm going to take tomorrow off. Thursday I'll do arms and that will be the true test. There is no doubt that I'm swollen up, but I'm also noticeably smoother. I'm still lean, but I'm not as striated and I'm filling out my clothes to such an extent that I ordered shorts... and shirts one size larger... in case anyone is wondering Underarmour doesn't have the best selection in 3xl. My weight fluctuates so wildly that trying to gauge progress by the scale is totally pointless. Maybe next week and then I'll weigh myself 2 weeks later.

Your killing it brother. Don't be so hard on yourself already! If your taking ECA and your still tired all the time and motivation is tough it sounds like anxiety. I get that way. You just gotta go! One foot in front of the other until boom your running into the gym!

My first fusion fixed the nerve damage in my right arm for a time, but I'm in constant sometimes debilitating pain. At one point I was taking 12 percocets a day. I started using Kratom to get off the percocets and it has helped tremendously. I do enjoy it at times, but it is disgusting to take and I regularly throw it up trying to choke it down. I've been using it for well over a year almost daily so I'm kind of used to the buzz so it doesn't do much for me on that front. The big issue is that I'm not killing myself on pain pills anymore and since starting Kratom I haven't had so much as a cold in well over a year... no flu, no sinus infections, nothing... it may be closer to 18 months now.

That's great man, had a lot of friends get strung out on those pain pills. I have pretty serious back pain but I stick to weed for pain relief, always been curious about Kratom though

Today was awesome. Best arm workout in 8 or 9 months. I looked freakish. I was also substantially stronger. I haven't had a pump like this in a very long time. I also noticed that my arms were still 98% pumped after 30 minutes of cardio... so pumped that I couldn't touch my own chin...
So now I've had 2 freakishly awesome workouts and I've been stronger each time. I have legs tomorrow. That's hit or miss due to my nerve damage, but if I'm on, I'll know it... or if it's a nerve thing I'll also know it. The big day will be the following session which is chest... I'm not 100% ready to say it's the LGD, but I'll know within another week. I really tried to get some pics for you guys, but my hands were shaking and my arms were totally swollen up. Even my calves pumped up really quick and I haven't done a drop of IGF in them during this log...

Ha! Who said anything about a cycle? A cycle implies a certain time frame. Unlike many of the guys here I don't believe in cycles for my needs. I'm not saying their opinion doesn't have valid points, but I've had anywhere from 2 to 5 blood tests per year for nearly 10 years. Currently my BP and pulse are a little high, but that is due to being in constant pain. I'm about as healthy as they come. In fact were I not 270 lbs when I got into my life changing car accident I would likely be paralyzed. I also eat pretty clean for the most part and I haven't had alcohol or any recreational drug in well over a year. I am here to have fun and live the most fulfilling enjoyable life that I can. I don't plan on dying with a perfect heart, liver, etc. That shit is mine. Like I said I respect everyone's opinion, but life has taught me that the future is uncertain. Don't forsake today in the hopes of living it up tomorrow.
Today was insane. I was still pumped this morning. I have had a full body pump the entire time I was training legs. I was also freakishly strong.. so strong that I did not train to failure... any my sets were 20 plus reps... that aside I was able to use 100 lbs more on the leg press for the same 28 reps... once again I was super lethargic, but my workout was somewhat effortless.. I didn't have to try to lift heavy.. the weights were just flying around. I feel very heavy and thick. I feel 10-15 lbs heavier. What was most surprising was that my diet yesterday was not good. Almost all supplements. I had all kinds.of errands ro run after the gym so it was protein bars and shakes pretty much all day... and then I capped it off with a cheese steak sub and pizza. Normally this would lead to a very poor workout. I'm hoping these results continue. Id love to see what I could do with 4 weeks of these gains and then adding in some S4 to keep going. I think you've got a winner here Presser. This shit is good.

So the pic is blurry, but I think it gives you guys an opinion of how this stuff is working for me... that's one of my new 3xl Under Armour shirts... so far this stuff is working better for me than Anadrol or dbol. I feel really good. Yes I'm clearly holding some water, but look at that pic compared to the bathroom pic!
I think the most impressive part is that I am taking the exact same AAS and dose that I have been for 18 months..Presser liked this post

yep u blew the fuck up! as for ur taking the same ammount of steroids, wel the igf-1 lr3 as you know but maybe some dont, will help you get more out of the same dose, so your getting more receptor uptake, as for the ligandrol, well, i think we have a real winner on our hands, between igf-1 lr3 and ligandrol, you can really add muscle and stay lean

Exactly. I think IGF is very misunderstood by alot of the newer guys. Many people seem to think it's the next step once you're doing massive cycles, but the truth couldn't be more different. It makes much smaller doses work better than larger doses... less side effects and substantially better muscle growth. I really wish I could find the pic I took when I first joined this site before I had ever used MC IGF... I was already doing 1g a week of test and had been taking AAS for at least 6 or 7 years. Once I added in the IGF my physique totally changed. I went from muscular beach body to bodybuilder. The shit is amazing.. and you get the benefit of ALWAYS looking better since you are walking around with permanent pumps.
On a side note I have a buddy that is a rep for a peptide company. We were talking the other day and I mentioned I was finally getting back on MC IGF. He told me that all the IGF his company had gotten recently seemed to be... not so good... that really stood out to me... I can honestly say I've never had anything but awesome results from MC IGF. I think that's a huge reason why alot of people don't comprehend what good IGF can do... they aren't all the same... not even close... don't waste your time, money, or enthusiasm on bunk IGF. I probably used 10 bottles from 5 different companies before finding MC... I'll never use anything else. To be quite frank... from what I am seeing... the results from MC IGF have been much better than the results I'm seeing other guys get with generic GH... it's really a no brainer... I know I hype on MC IGF alot, but if those pics don't show you why than I don't know what else can.
Taking today off.... I've had some amazing workouts and I need some rest. I've still got a massive upper and now lower body pump. I feel amazing. I have some errands to run today so I'm going to try to get caught up on things so I can focus on training tomorrow and have another bad ass workout. I'm going to give it one more week before I get on the scale. It's never good news in my opinion. If I'm light I'll feel frail... if I'm heavy I will feel fat... I hate the scale..

Today started with a stout kick in the balls. Spent a couple hours putting HID's in the truck. Got to the gym and found out one of the Foglights came out and was gone. I'm going to have to drill some holes into the bumper to zip tie the ballasts. The 30lb double sided tape apparently couldn't hold 6oz...
I was able to use nearly 50 lbs more on the incline Hammer for my 20 rep set. Something I don't think I've ever been able to do. I was literally stronger on every exercise... including my 7 sets at the end. I was even stronger training calves which is very rare since I train them 3 times a week. What really suprised me on chest is that I am doing site injections in my pecs to even them out. I have an uneven bone structure under my right pec which makes it look smaller. Most people don't notice unless I point it out and I'm very lean but it's bothered me for years. That being said site injections usually make me MUCH weaker. While I could certainly feel the tightness, I was super strong and didn't feel like I was pushing it at all. I've cut down on my cardio a bit since I'm eating cleaner and my workouts are longer. 25 minutes on training days is about all I can handle. I upped the ephedrine which is helping out with the lethargy. Im undecided if the extra volume and effort is wearing me out or if it's something else. I'm going to weight myself next week. I think that should give me some time to even out.

I just realized this after getting a few more messages to reschedule Dr appointments. I was having problems with right right arm losing strength due to another damaged disk and they were working out the details to schedule another surgery... I haven't had any weakness or really any problems in about a week. Chest is normally my big one as the front Dept on my right side is the most dramatically effected... not only did I not have any weakness but I would consider it a personal best... that's pretty badass... I'm not sure where that leaves me... but for some reason my loss of strength in my right arm has dissipated since I started taking MC IGF again.

Back and Hamstrings today. I was once again much stronger than normal (about 20-30lbs) but I was lethargic. It's very possible that it's me. As I've mentioned I'm unemployed at the moment and it's really messing with me. I feel really guilty training and through out the day so it's possible that the issue is me.
I did have a fantastic interview today for the position I have really wanted and I smoked it.. I still have to meet with the Hiring Director, but we were discussing salary requirements and they assured me they could get the starting salary to what I needed given my qualifications. I'm going to need to get my coat tailored and some new shirts. This is what I mean when I talk about hiding my appearance.
I'm going to get a membership to a gym closer to my house. These 3 hour trips are wiping me out. I'm going to weight myself at the end of the week. I'm clueless as to what I'll weigh. I'm pretty consistent at around 225, but I feel 250 plus right now.
I've also gotten drilled with the jaw pumps. Oh my god.. I can't eat a handful of chips without a massive jaw pump. These pumps are freaking insane. I can literally flex my arm a couple times and everything pumps up like I'm 20 minutes into a workout. This is going to be the shit when we start hitting the beach!!
So wish me luck. I had an interview with Allstate last week so I've got a couple things going. Wish me luck. Today was my birthday and I got some birthday action from Silk so things are good in the hood today

Last couple days have been crazy. Silk has been off work so we are trying to get stuff done. I had another interview / testing today for the job I'm really wanting. That was smack in the middle of the day so no gym yesterday and today. I feel really good. Tighter and harder than normal for sure. The Jaw pumps are wearing me out. I'm actually drinking alot of those Premier protein RTD drinks as its hard to chew. Tomorrow is delts and mine are freaky so I'll see if I can snap some pics of the mega pump I'm expecting. I think the days off will help since my training has been more intense than normal. The most notable thing has been my calves. Their strength is skyrocketing and they are totally pumped constantly. My calves are not a stand out bodypart. They lacked badly for most of my life... so you can imagine how I feel when someone comments on them. Which happened yesterday at the grocery store. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow too, but judging from the way my slacks and shirt fit I may be over 250. That would be less than ideal. If that's the case I'm going to have to up the cardio or take a diuretic. It's still a good sign though

Today was good. I didn't eat as much as I needed, but my pump today was insane. I also weighed myself. I was 238.. which I'm pretty happy with. That's about 8-10lb gain in 2 weeks in addition to some good strength increases. My shoulders got so pumped up that the teres minor underneath them spasmed real bad.
Calves once again was awesome. The got so pumped that I was walking funny.. they actually looked damn near balanced and that is saying alot with my calves. Quite honestly I would say that this two week period was absolute success based solely on the gains I made in my calves. I train calves 3 times per week and they are without a doubt my largest focus. That being said they get hammered. This is saying alot... based on how they looked today I can say something I never thought I would say... that I don't need to use synthol in them again... that's huge for me. My arms and shoulders have always been big. At 18 years old they were probably pretty close to 18"... at that time is when I realized that I had an issue with calves. They were barely 13". Currently my arms are a little over 20". Now... with no Synthol... my calves are over 18". That's no site injections... nothing in them. I have very small joints. I can honestly say that I am no longer embarrassed of my calves. That's huge. I'm hoping that whatever is causing the massive weight gain will slowly subside and maybe get me back to about 235. A real gain of 5lbs of muscle this year would be fantastic.
I'm hoping to hear about the position I interviewed for Thursday. If I get it it would really be a perfect scenario for me... and it may encourage me enough to compete again.

Awesome arm workout today. I was a little stronger... which means I'm alot stronger since starting. I seem to holding a good amount of intracellular water. Also my joints feel fantastic. A major improvement over a few weeks ago and honestly I didn't realize how much I was hurting until I no longer had any pain. The striations in my muscle have smoothed over but the seperation between my dlets and arms is still really pronounced. My wrists and fingers are a little swollen. As a hole I feel really good. It's been a weird balancing act between my diet and cardio and wanting to have a little extra to build some muscle so I'm still working on that.

Took 2 days off to get stuff done and I just wasnt sure if I wanted to go today. I went and man what a workout. The lethargy is finally wearing off. I had a slow start and the inner part of my thighs was super tight. It was like a snowball effect. Each set got better and better. With each exercise I got stronger and stronger. After 5 exercises for quads and haMs I did the Hammer hack squat... I did 3 plates per side for 15, 4 plates for 12... and then 5 plates per side for 14 reps... I have never been able to get much over 4 and a 25 per side and that was doing it as my first exercise... so this was nuts. I have some serious full body pumps going all the time. I feel great... all I keep thinking about is hitting the beach bars in the coming months... I honestly feel like I'm well on my way to the best offseason condition I have ever had. Silk is having foot surgery on the 1st so we're hoping by the 15th she can get in and do some upper body.. and I can get some decent pictures.
