I posted this on another forum, before I realised this one was better, so I thought i'd repost here for anyone that is interested.
Hi All,
I have had several PM's asking me about my progress, my side effects etc.
I thought rather than replying to each message I'd make a Log for you all.
Firstly, I bought 1 x IGF-1 for $99 1mg/1000mcg.
After a lot of research online, I found a really awesome website (basskilleronline.com) which has a lot of useful information about mixing, injecting etc.. So if you are interested in this product or any other research product, I'd highly recommend you check it out.
There was a lot of talk about mixing and what to mix the peptide with.
I decided to use Acetic Acid because for IGF-1 with all my reading AA seemed to be the best as I didn't want to spend all this money only to find out, the peptide wasn't working as effectively as it could due to mixing the 'wrong' product. I've used generic HGH before and mixing BAC water was fine, but I think for IGF-1 Acetic Acid 0.6% is the best. You will notice some burn/stinging from it, so i'd suggest you draw up the IGF-1 mixed with AA and then in the same needle, draw up some BAC water to dilute it a bit.
Doseage:
I have been taking 10iu from a 1mL 100iu insulin syringe which equates to 100mcg. I have been taking this post workout, daily, so on days I don't train, I still inject in the afternoon. I inject Sub-Q, there was a lot of discussion whether IM or Sub-Q was better, from my reading Sub-Q seemed to be best for absorption since IGF-1 LR3 has a 20 hour half life anyway.
Side-Effects:
• If you do not eat immediately afterwards or do not consume enough carbs, you will feel dizzy.
• I had terrible gas for the first two days, whereby I felt embarrassed to work because I just couldn't control it. It has now stopped and I feel fine.
•Increased appetite - My god does this stuff make you hungry, I have been awake for 5 hours and in this time I have consumed; 12 weat bix with milk, two protein shakes, 4 pieces of toast with peanut butter, a bowl of pasta, a chicken breast and and ice cream.
Strength Gains:
Incredible Strength gains, at gym, I was plateauing. I simply could not add any extra weight (I am doing the Rippeteo Starting Strength program, heavy compound exercises, increasing weight by 2.5KG each session). I am now finding that it is so much easier, I was bench pressing one weight for 5 reps, the next session I could do 10 reps.
I also have an incredible pump from it. I woke up two days ago with a stiff neck, went for a massage and it's still hurting today, which means I haven't trained since Thursday and I look more pumped now then I did when I last trained on Thursday.
I am up 2KG on the scale, probably due to my eating too
If you guys have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I intend to run 100mcg for 40 days and then will cycle maybe with GHRP-2 & CJC 1295 without DAC, thoughts on this?
Cheers,
Here are some photos over the first week.
Day 2 straight after my workout.
Day 4 just after waking up, didn't train the day before.
Day 5, straight after my workout.
Day 7 (today, haven't injected yet and haven't trained since Day 5).
