IGF-1 shooting questions

[gill]

i am planning on running IGF-1 for 8 weeks total (2 weeks on / 2 weeks on) and i need to know exactly what to shoot with and how to shoot.
for example with 20cc in the syringe (10cc IGF and 10cc bac water), on a bi and tri day, i would inject 10cc in each bicep...but how would i come at the bicep, would i just shoot it straight from the top or the side or what?
as for needle/syringe..which should i use?
and also, is the 2 week on/2 week off thing necessary, or can i just run it straight for 8 weeks?

thanks in advance

First, you shouldn't use a 20cc pump for IGF-1 shots. You should use an insulin needle, with IU measurements. How much research have you done on IGF-1?

i know i need to use a slin pin. but the slin pins ive seen have numbers 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc, etc all the way up to 1.0, and its measured in ml. i do know that 100cc = 1ml..so i would have to fill the syringe with 0.1ml and 0.1ml of bac water?

1 cc (ml) = 100 IUs on the insulin syringe, so if you mix your IGF-1 with 1 ml of BC water, that will be 100 IUs.

I would mix the IGF-1 with acetic acid rather than bacteriostatic water.

Going with what he said though....1 cc (ml) = 100 IUs on insulin syringe. If you used 1 ml of AA, you would have 1000mcg (1mg) of IGF-1 in 100 IUs.
1000mcg/100ius=10 mcg per IU. So that means 25 IUs (1/4 cc or 1/4 ml) = 250 mcg (way too much to be taking for one dose, but just so you can see the math involved). I suggest taking 40mcg/day on workout days immediately following your workout. Be sure to take in carbs around this time to prevent the possibility of going hypo.
