Hi, so when I was 16 I was diagnosed with Acromegaly or Gigantism. (Same disease Andre the Giant died of)
The biggest thing with the disease is that you have elevated Growth Hormone levels. When I've tested in the past with my endocrinologist, my IGF-1 Levels are usually 700-720, while my testosterone is on the very very low side.
So my question is, since I've had such high IGF-1 levels, does that mean, done correctly, I can gain more muscle than the average guy doing the same amount of workouts?
