1. How many receptors in a 17" arms
2. How many of those are upregulated in an arms workout
3. How much in mcg is the corresponding number of IGF-1 molecules
4. How quickly the receptors downregulate after exercise
5. How much of each is produced in a normal human and in an athlete.

From there, where we stand with regards to dosing & timing will become more easily figured.

I posted on the other forum too but I will post it here.

It would be literally IMPOSSIBLE to calculate these numbers. Even if you asked God himself how many IGF-1R's you had in one of your arms at any given time, that number could change as much as 15% within a few hours so, therefore, it becomes impossible to ever know.

As for the up and down regulation during and after exercise I will do some digging but I seriously doubt I am going to find much literature on it.

Well, God himself could tell you, but that's a little deeper than we need to get here. :D
