i know this may sound reali stupid, but can some one please expalin 2 me what IGF is and its effects and how its taken ? iv seen it on this board a few times and are just curious

LEWIS · 09-11-2006, 02:06 PM

its taken through a slin pin, it is taken for a maximum of 50 days daily, it can enhance the site of insurtion, it creates more muscle fibres which is different from steroids as they increase the size of them.

Craig660 · 09-11-2006, 02:21 PM

this seems like quite expensive stuff, has neone on here done it and what did there cycle consist of ?? and what were the gains like ??

LEWIS · 09-11-2006, 02:27 PM

first go this monday - you have to use it along side anabolics though mate.

look up IGF in the search engine pscarb and hacksii have said loads on it mate

I have used it... awesome when used with insulin inbetween cycles but not for the novice u really need to know your body and you need to know drugs well to be using this imo

the_gre8t_1ne · 09-11-2006, 02:40 PM

i recently used it during PCT and when i was fasting! was brilliant! got much leaner and kept decent muscle!

Craig660 · 09-11-2006, 02:58 PM

how cums you r using it for pct and inbetween cycles, dont u stack it with test then ??

the_gre8t_1ne · 09-11-2006, 03:01 PM

Reason i used it during PCT is coz 1. it helps keeps gains from previous cycle while getting rid of some BF, and helps to restore natty test levels, and the fact i was in PCT and about to fast was a good reason to ;)

Craig do a search on the forum and all of your questions will be answered...

Littleluke · 10-11-2006, 10:57 AM

I think more people need to be made aware of the search option! If you're questioning what IGF is then I'd stay clear. As Baz said you need to know your body! Research Research Research then research a little more!

i didnt say i was gonna do it, i said i was just curious

Nolva will lower IGF-1 in the body.
So taking it during PCT is not a bad idea.
I actually think it helps me recover.

I think until there has been documented medical research, this stuff should be used with caution. I used it earlier this year, stopped it in early august. I did'nt use it with insulin or GH as I wanted to see if it would work as a 'stand alone'.
Even now, since I stopped using it in August, I keep getting hypoglycaemic episodes very similar to the ones James was getting after he used pro recover. If I have pro recover (as I think everyone ought to post workout) & leave it longer than about 40 mins before I eat a proper meal, I will experience a rapid crash in blood sugar levels, cold sweats, vision disturbance etc. It may not be the IGF-1 use that has caused it, but until I have been checked out properly I won't know for sure. A friend at the gym I use in manchester has had a similar problem that still persists 12 months after usage. My worry is that in some people (myself included) it could induce the onset of diabetes if you are at a high risk in the first place due to hereditory prediposition.

Handle with care. Having said that, the results were impressive. I came down in eight weeks from 17 stone to just over 13 to do the colchester wabba & gravesend shows with james (yes, I was that far out at the beginning!). I was not at my best, but the progress made in 8 weeks was phenominal.
