I know this much; I have been running YG and IGF2 for the last 4 weeks and it has been incredible, to say the least.
My overall lifts are up, flat bench isnt up much but squats, leg presses, barbell curls, shoulder presses, bent over rows and tricep reverse curls and pushdowns are up, greatly.
I been doing the 3 caps of YG per day with IGF2 going like 2/3/2 ... Im going to follow that up with anabolicpump/igf2 for 4 weeks then BlueUp/igf2 for the final 4 weeks of 12 total.
Body weight is up 4.2lbs and im looking way more ripped than i have in a year, especially in the legs..

Yup, I LOVED my IGF-2 cycle. Increase muscle, lifts, attitude, sleep patterns...decrease fat
. I would probably suggest picking up 2 bottles of IGF-2 though. The AN guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but from my experience, it really kicked in around day 14. So if you are like me taking 9 a day, you'd only get ~27 days out of it. Of course there is no problem running 1 bottle with all the other goodies for a month to see how you react though. You can see my log in my signature.

I did IGF-2/Drive/Neovar/Osteobolin-C. But I was dieting way too hard (1300ish cal/day), doing all sorts of other stupid things too in that time frame. So my results weren't as great as they could have been. When I started raising my calories in general and my carbs in specific towards the tail end, I saw more progress in that last week than I had in the prior 3 (and wanted to kick myself)

Add some Yellow Gold, Neovar and a ton of Kwick Karb and that stack would be sweeeet!

Damn, you guys are getting me excited for this! Im gonna come off XF/ActX then do a 4 week cut which will count as my off time for ActX so after my cut i can start Drive/IGF2 rigt after!

I wouldn't take that 4 weeks off. they use different chemistry to get the same results. Drive/igf-2 would be great for keeping the gains alive and growing as x-factor's arachidonic acid starts to fade out.

But i dont want to "waste" this stack on a mini cut. On my 3-4 week cut im gonna just be using Leviathan Reloaded and BCAAs

Ah I would save the mini cut till after the drive/igf2, and just continue the clean x-factor bulk

That is a good idea. But i think im gonna start cutting for 3-4 weeks tomoro cause i cant stand eating the 600g carbs i need to grow. Once im done with my mini cut i will be back to eating 100+g carbs in one sitting easy

I used to do it easy. But ive been taking in 500-600g for about 20 weeks now. Wasted like 10 weeks during summer taking in 500g when i really needed 600g to grow
I wish i could grow on around 400g

Have you ever tried a fat centric approach instead? just wondering. olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Just a thought for something different
What % of my total cals would a fat centric approach have?

Whatever you need to make target cals for the day so take what you want in carbs, add HEALTHY fats to make the difference. Bacon grease doesn't count. Its really easy to add 1000 cals in coconut oil tho. at 9 cal a gram, taking 1oz is an extra near 400 calories, so doing that with 3 meals in the day adds 1200 for the day...

Thats a good idea. Think im gonna try it. Like 400-450g carbs, 300-350g protein and 180g fat

try it with coconut oil first, its probably the best for you. I like using it to fry foods in. one of my favorits is to put around 1oz (3 tbsp) of coconut oil in a pan, get some jerk seasonings on some shrimp and fry em in it, then after taking the shrimp out tossing some fresh spinach in the pan to wilt it and soak the rest of the oil up, then a splash of lime juice on it. works like a charm

You can take coconut oil with XF right?
Also i dont prepare much food (or i pre prepair it) so i would just be downing it tbsps at a time

i'm still not sure if I can take it with xfactor, need to check.
coconut oil goes solid at fridge temp, so you could pour it into an ice cube tray, let it harden, then pop it out and store in a ziploc premeasured
Congrats on the AN rep position
Now maybe you can hook me up with that missing bottle of IGF-2

Is it really worth it taking in 350 grams of protein unless you're on a steroid cycle.
I used to take in 350 grams of protein...but all it did was make me become a stink bomb and just make everyone hate me because I had terrible farts.
I'm taking in 250 grams of protein and just add carbs and fats for the rest of the calories..and seems like its doing the same in lean mass gains.

I also thought it was harmful to intake high ammounts of protien. The 350-400g per day range is really pushing it.

If you read lyle mcdonalds works on CKDs, he recommends no more than .9g per lb of body weight during a CKD, even if the purpose is to gain mass. so for a 200lb guy, thats 180g. interestingly enough, a pound of muscle only has 150g of protein in it, the remainder is water and other stuff.... so I can't see how you'd really need 2800g of protein over a week (400g/day) to gain 2lbs of muscle (300g in it) and 1 of fat.

Ive found that around 300 works the best for me. My last bulk on XF was great and was taking in around 400g protein (back when i didnt know how much protein to take, thought more was better, lol)
