So when would you recommend the use of IGF-1? IMO I would start after I reached a stubborn plateau, even with changing workout routines and diet! What do you think?
If you have really thoroughly researched newer diet and training methods then maybe. Personally I'd go through these channels first;
1. talk to a friend or reputable personal trainer that really knows their ****.
2. EAT like you have never eaten before..then eat some more!
3. Experiment with some of the newer supplements out there like G-Plenish, Di-creatine malate et cetera
After all that (this should be several years from now) then start researching PH's. After a few successful cycles then MAYBE you could think about IGF.
