    Fat, fat, fat everywhere. I stopped training, and am only now getting to where I'm planning my comeback to the gym. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for asking though.
    It'll feel great ...............after it stops hurting

    Grunt, great post. I have a couple of questions.

    What would your body naturally produce of IGF on any given day if any? What would be the range? Would it be 5mcg. I am just trying to gain a percpective on how much we are injecting above our natural production.

    I have read that Dave Palumbo, the pro bodybuilder with 3 years of med school asserts that the amount of paracrine IGF-1 produced by a human body is in the 1mcg range. There should be broad fluctuations about this measurement, which surely must be a guesstimate.

    Thanks, so even if its 2mcg per day were injecting apprx. 20xs normal production.

    Assuming you have time, do you think going lower doses for longer periods would be a safer way to gaurd against intestinal growth and still get the positive results desired? Say 10-20mcg range?

    Yes, there is a protocol developed by Palumbo wich does this.

    I prefer the idea of doing 40mcg E3D though.

    Both might be equally good and safe, for all I know.

    Grunt one last ?. I assume when using IGF you are at risk of enlarging the heart? Does it have as much receptors as the intestines?

    Assuming you are an endurance athlete or simply inject IGF after cardio could you be elevating the risk of enlarging your heart?

    Thanks and this is one of the best threads I have read on IGF.

    from the studies i have read scientists postulate that myostatin and igf-1 present in cardiac muscle operate on completely separate pathway in comparison to skeletal muscle.

    in other words, igf-1 and myostatin inhibition will not have the same effect on cardiac muscle as it does on skeletal muscle.

    can you confirm this grunt? i havent seen any difinitive studies, and dont want to give out brotelligence

    I cannot confirm this, although I agree there is no evidence of any heart-enlarging effects. For example, Long R3 IGF-1 is used for kids with deficiencies and no heart size monitoring is ever done. Pubmed is at your disposal if you want to look into that aspect of it. I concentrated my studies on enhancing the local effect and lessening the systemic.

    So the igf-1 is more effective than the lr3 version?

    This whole thread is about Long R3 IGF-1. And no, hIGF-1 isn't more effective.

    No. You are probably not human.

    J/K. But I haven't heard of anything like that before...

    I don't think there would be any way to make this work as a transdermal.

    What's your pgf2a not doing? How are you using it?

    well its on its way but its supposed to be the only prod around that you can use as a TD to kill fat cells[ not just shrink]closesed thing to lipo and its also similar to igf as inject [site spec muscle growth]
