IGF-2 Review

I ran 2 bottles of IGF-2 over the past 6 weeks, first at a dose of 10 caps/day and then 12 caps/day. My goals for this was to lean out some while gaining strength and increasing my cardio. My diet was not immaculate during this run, which somewhat skewed the results, but I still had a great run.

First the quantitative:
Flat BP-185x3 --------->190x3
BB Rows-245x12------->285x10
Dips-BW+60x5--------->BW+80x4
Military Press-135x5--->145x5
DB Rows (DC style)110x10+5----->120x10+7+5
Close-Grip BP-155x5----->205x3
Ancillary lifts (e.g. curls, laterals, pressdowns, etc) also increased in both weight and reps

Weight-175----->173
BF%-?? If I had to guess, I went from 11% to 10%

Now for the subjective:
1. Great pumps, fullness, and vascularity
2. Increased mind-muscle connection
3. Increased recovery
4. Cardio, both aerobic and anaerboic, increased
5. No increase in results from 10 caps-12 caps; sleep was actually worse (Rhodiola is the likely culprit her)
6. Acne increased start around day 8 or so
7. Relaxed feeling 30-40 minutes after dosing
8. Some slight hypo issues during long training session
9. Good mood elevation


I would highly recommend this product for either bulking or cutting, but I think that it would be best used during a solid recomp. All of lifts and cardio improved despite not having the best diet. I definitely think that 10 caps/day was my sweet spot and, in retrospect, I wish I would have stayed there for the duration of the cycle. Considering that there is no PCT for this and all of the positive effects, the price really is about right. Stacking this with some Drive would make a sick stack and is on my short list to try in the near future.

Again, congrats AN for making an awesome product that helped out with strength, cardio, and body comp.

Sounds good. I experienced some of the same results just from toying around with dosages last month. Improvements in sleep, recovery and muscle fullness were noticed right away. Skin got oily very quickly which tells me something is working.

Plan to use the rest of my batch soon as I get back into lifting shape. Stacked with Drive..it's the shizz.

IGF-2 is one of those rare blends that can deliver superior benefits on multiple fronts. Endurance. Strength. Lean Mass. Hypertrophy. cAMP-and-cGMP-boosting. Testosterone Modulation. Glucocorticoid Antagonism/Cortisol Regulation. Prolactin Inhibition. Glycogen Regulation. Phospho-Creatine Boosting. Insulin Modulation. Growth-Hormone Synthesis. Adaptogenic Protection...

A simple and versatile blend, IGF-2 can be used to dramatically improve the potency and effectiveness of just about any stack.

Drive/IGF-2 is an awesome stack. Consider adding RPM to that combo and you would end up with results comparable to those from the use of very mild steroids Which ever stack you end up selecting, we would very much appreciate a feedback of your experience.

I am already an RPM addict, have not worked out without it since July. The only thing holding me back from Drive is i want to run it at 6 caps per day, so 2 bottles a month is a tad expensive, that and its holiday time, gotta get the family gifts. I would definitely log it, as I am looking at a sick recomp/cut starting mid-january or earlier if my finances improve slightly. currently sitting at 10%bf, and I am sure drive/IGF-2/neovar would rip me up inside out. (along with proper diet of course)

RPM/Drive/IGF-2/NeoVar should be explosive! See how your finances go in January. If it turns out that you might need some help on the Drive, let me know. With some luck, I may be able to arrange something for you, if you would log your stack!
