Would A Short IGF-1 Cycle Work

[I am Jack]

I have seen references to running IGF-1 for very short spurts to prevent GH supression and receptor down regulation. It seems like a 1-2 week cycle every other month should be appropriate - if it is working then you shouldn't have to take it for an extended period of time right? I've also seen some reference to gains coming much later after the cycle is completed because the new muscle fibers that it develops need time to mature and grow.

Let's take a vote: 1-2weeks:
Waste of Money
or
Great Plan

[Mr.X]

good idea
IGF-1 is a miracle product as far as I'm concerned

[Mr.X]

IGF has a relatively short half life, EOD would not work.

[Mr.X]

can't argue with results

it's been shown that less frequent injections also prevent the downregulation that inevitably kicks in around week 4.

Hmm... That's why I am wanting to try the short cycles of it. This all sounds good to me.

Currently, I'm trying a regimen suggested by gh15 at getbig. gh15 is supposedly a top level pro. Whether he is or not, his information is quality.

Every 3rd day, I take 50mcg IGF an hour or two before bed. In the two weeks I've been using this method, I've seen incredible fat loss and very deep sleep on the IGF nights. Since I'm cutting, this is great. And, at e3d it can be run indefinately with no down-regulation.

I see more results from this method than using 150mcg/eod pwo. All I saw at during that regimin was a swelling gut - likely some bloat mixed with organ growth.

I agree. I'm going to start experimenting with it, I'll try to keep some kind of logs, although it will all be subjective because I can't think of an accurate way to quantify progress.

How long will you run this regimen?

I ran that regimin for several months. At one point I started adding in slin on off days and saw incredible fullness without any fat gain. I cut out both as I'm getting off in a couple of weeks and want my receptors as fresh as possible for PCT.
