igf-1 sides?

I am thinking of buying some igf-1 from a friend here in the uk. I have read several threads on sides but can't seem to find anyone complaining of the side I am most bothered about....basically getting the grossed out huge gut, increase in neanderthal like looking features like big forehead and jaw etc. I have never done Gh for the same reasons. Anyone notice these kinds of sides?

Nope. I really don't experience any sides at all at the dosages I have used.

Again I dont think this is against forum rules since im not posting about the IGF-1, im posting about guts, but sorry and delete this if im out of order.


The gut most bodybuilders have was explained by Null a little while back. Some of these guys (coleman, kovacs) eat 8,000 calories a day, spread out into 4 meals. That is a lot of food to have in your stomach at one time. Because of this, your stomach stretches and you get a gut.

no i think he is talking about the GH gut. the reason for this is becasue a lot of times BB inject sub q which can cause localized growth of muscle and organs. this is why some bber have huge guts which could be from GH (and some other things). and i dont think eating a lot would cause you to have a gut forever.

I'm not buying that just eating lots of food makes someone's forehead and gut grow. Sure guys in the 70's and 80's eat a lot but no features like that back then. Otoh, I will try one cycle of igf-1 and see how it goes. Finished a course of gear a week ago and could do with something to counter the loss in weight plus my general increase in fatassedness in the last 2 months.

Do you workout in the morning or evening? Was you GH dose 4 IUs before you started IGF? If it was did you split the dose?

I'm interested in your results.

TIA

I work out in the early evening say 5 to 6 pm. My dose before the IGF was 4iuED and have reduced
it, do to the addition of IGF down to 2iu in the PM before sleep. I have noticed a little stiffness in the AM
in my hands, so I was thinking to switch the 2iu of GH to the morning. I think the IGF and the GH so close to each other
at night might be over doing it a bit. So I am gonna try the 2iu of GH in the AM, and hopefully it will eleviate some
of the stiffness of the hands.
