AGEFORCE IGF-1+MGF 30 Days to Push / Pull Event

[pulsefit]

Little About me: I'm 42. As of today I was 202 on the scale after a bad night of eating I have been training for powerlifting for about a year and 1/2. Before that my training was mostly high reps splits. My best lifts in competition are squat 450, Deadlift 550, and my weakest bench at 315. I have had some better lifts in training but wont count them. I have an annual push pull competition on October 7th. If I want to win the event as pound for pound my lifts need to be closer to 900+.

I received a 90 day supply of the IGF/MGF Patches from AgeForce. I want to put them to the test as I build up to the higher numbers on my lifts. I will be benching 3 days a week with an upperbody split, deadlifting once a week, squats once a week, and I'm teaching a dumbbell hiit cardio class once a week. I have started the patches, and I will take one per 3 days as instructed on the patches. I prefer taking them at night before bed on my stomach. When I put them on inside of my wrist I knock them off at night which I did when I took the Maximize patch in the past (((which gave me some of the best sleep in my life)).

Everything you want to know about the patch here....

Nice training, you are on of the many Irma victim? Sending you good vibe over there!

Carb craving like sugar or good carbs do you crave?

When do you put on the patch? pre or post workout? and it is one patch every 3 day?

Every third day but I'm thinking I'm going to put it on post workout in evening every third day.

Carbs are any carbs.

Nice good carbs will help you pack on mass!

So you are getting

Formula (Per Patch)

•50 mg (milligrams) of IGF-1 (I/IGFBP-3) Known as Insulin Like Growth Factor


•25 mg (milligrams) of MGF (PEG MGF) Known as Mechano-Growth Factor 1

every 3 day. Is that enough? the high tech product not to name it ha ha would give 60 mcg per 3 days. Hum Age force is mg? So that a lot more

I can tell you I am waking up and noticing that I'm low on carbs. I had no clue about this before starting this and my late day workout which I'm going to post I really felt it. Now that I have power I'm going to hopefully be able to get the appropriate nutrition for this supplement.

Day 9


Sups - AM - Multi / Fish Oil
- PRE - ((mistake)) High Stim Pre
- Post - Protein Smoothie
- PM - No patch today

Some Motivation for Today


Wheels

Deads
135x10
225x10
315x10
405x8
225x35 ((to failure))

Squats
135x10
225x10
315x8
225x20

Leg Extensions
240x10 3 Sets

Super Set Farmer Walk / One Armed Kettlebell Swings
90LB DBs each hand x 1 minute / 50lb KB 10 alternating reps x3 sets



Thoughts - I have to work on eating more carbs plain simple. I feel it when I don't have enough. I took a high stim preworkout which really had me sweating. I threw it out. If a preworkout gives me a runny nose I throw it away. Certain forms of Y do this to me. I don't understand using it in preworkouts as Ive always thought it was for weight loss and if you're lifting weights it just makes you sweat and takes away from mind muscle connection.

Love to see farmers walk in there. Strong lifts!

Day 10

Sups - AM - Multi / Fish Oil
- PRE - ((mistake)) High Stim Pre
- Post - Protein + HBCD
- PM - No patch today

Upper


Bench ((this is my light day where I do warm up to a max rep set at given weight))
135x20
225x10
*245x10* Max effort set

Single Arm Bent Over Rows
150dbx8 3 Sets

Single Arm no stabilization Bent Over Row Drop Set
80x10 70x10 50x11

45db x 10 3 Sets

Close Grip Lat Pulldown
220x12 3 Sets

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown Drop Set
160x10 140x10 100xFailure


Thoughts - Changing your training brings out changes imo. Doing the higher reps to failure the day before I could feel it today. That said my macros were on point today hitting the 300 carbs 200 protein and 100 fats. I believe hitting right amount of nutrients is important with this supplement as I don't see it as a supplement for cutting it's more of a mass supplement. I could be wrong but just what my body is telling me.

[alvin1]

What else do you feel? Better pump, recovery or mood?

Eh all of that is hard to put a finger on. I am taking an all in one pre that has some decent pump ingredients. I have been training differently to try and stimulate some new muscle growth
