TheNinja's IGF-2 Log - updated with measurements and pics
Age: 30
Stats: 6'1" @ 186.5 lbs
BodyFat: I estimated 14% bf (I really have no idea but from pictures posted on AM, people estimated 12-14%)
Body Type: Ecto (66%) / Meso (33%) - very thin growing up but have forced myself to gain muscle
Goals: Gain strength and size with minimal fat gain on a consistent basis
Goals Specific for this product cycle: Gain strength and lean size and not lose it after I go off the cycle. When I cycle off creatine I lose a lot of gains and I hope this product does not have the same drawback. Because of this I will likely log (though not as frequently) for 2-3 weeks after I am done taking IGF-2 to see if I have dramatic strength loss or not.
Medical issues: none
Past Supplements: Very little experience other than multivitamin, creatine, whey protein, fish oils (1 recent 7 week cycle on Leviathan, light RPM use has been discontinued for the past 2 weeks to prep for the log).
Current: Multi, Whey, omega3, BCAA, ZMA (on and off)
Diet: In check for the most part. Try to eat clean all the time but I'm not super crazy about it. Realistically average about 2200 calories a day, but I have an office job
Workout: Typically a 3 or 4 day split - chest/tris, back/bis, legs/shoulders, 4thday misc (more leg, abs, etc.)
Cardio: Honestly, have been slacking for the past couple months but am getting back into the "couch to 5k plan". I might toss in some HIIT but I have to get my knees in shape first otherwise I get horrible knee tendon pain and shin splits.
Other: I'm just a regular guy but with good intensity and a good diet. I don't like to mix too many things b/c I like to see how certain supps affect me by themselves so I know what to buy again. If I stack 6 things, how do I know which one actually is working? I hope to be like a test case of how a single supplement or two (plus the basics of protein, oils, multi) affects a normal person who lifts with very good intensity. I think this will be a good "real world" test for those people who are new to supps or for those who aren't looking to spend $300 a month to stack many items.
Dosage split into 3 times a day: 8 pills - will upgrade to 9 pills if needed or agreed upon by the AN crew
"Normal" Diet:
Waking Up: 3 IGF-2
Meal 1: 8oz skim milk, 1 scoop ON Whey, multi
Meal 2: 1 whole wheat bagel with natural peanut butter
Meal 3: Varies, but typically around 600 calories in a 40/40/20 split or as close as possible consisting of lean protein, whole grain, veggies.
Pre Workout: 3 IGF-2 plus 6g BCAA's in crystal light
Workout: Take 6g BCAA during workout
Post Workout Meal 4: 20g dextrose, 20g maltodextrin, 30g ON whey, 1 banana
Meal 5: Varies, but again typically around 600 calories in a 40/40/20 split or as close as possible consisting of lean protein, whole grain, veggies.
1 hour before bed: 2 IGF-2
Before sleeping: 8oz skin milk, 1 scoop ON Whey, 2g fish oils
Initial measurements - as close as I could get with a string and a tape measure :
Neck - 15.125
Shoulders - 50.75
Chest (inside shoulders) - 42.5
Bicep R/L - 16.75/16.5
Waist/Abs Flabby/Flexed (not "sucked in" though) - 35.25/34
Hip/Glutes - 39.5
Thigh R/L - 23.5/23.75
Calf R/L - 15.5/15.625
Pictures on Day 1 - Yes I flexed - I figure as long as I do the same pose for my after pics, it is fair
