I posted a thread over at MS and Da Bull informed me that he lost his gains from both of his IGF cycles. He also mentioned that he was not the only one. So has anyone had this happen to them as well? How much did you lose all of it or half or what?

Bump! I am about to start and I was under the assumptions that the gains you make from IGF are somewhat permanent. You may atrophy if you stop training, but the added muscle cells are there to stay.
Thats a good question. It would suck to spend all that money on something that disappears so easily. I would like to know this answer before I shell out the dough thats for sure.
Key word homeostasis.... I mean the gains are so fast and you can only hold so much as most cycles are 30 days. I too thought the gains were permanent.Quote:

From everything I have read it doesnt sound like IGF will throw 10lbs on you in 30 days. It sounds more like 1-2lbs every week or so. That is certainly maintable weight if that is indeed the case.Quote:

I plan on updating my avatar after my IGF cycle. Thanks again.
Guys if you don't keep the diet and training right you'll lose gains from anything. The idea of permenate gains is a myth. I seem to have keep what I gain from it.

BTW whose IGF do you use?
I used IGF-1r with PGF-2A for my last show prep...after the show i came off clean and have been this way for about 1/2 year...although i have shrunken and my weight has droped my arms and shoulders are about the same size they were while on...most of my IGF-1r and PGF-2A shots went directly into those muscles...so for me i feel it was atleast 75% pernemant...XXL
75% is good enough for me to try it. Thanks for the info Mike. anyone else want to share?
BTW what is PGF-2A? :blush:
bumping... I want to see what einy, bigjdog, swellin and spys thoughts because I know they used it for sure. And if I didnt list your name it doesnt mean I dont want too hear your thoughts. So post up!
don't mess with PGF-2a for sh!ts and giggles. Actually, just not for giggles.
I guy I got it from is no longer in business

PGF2-a is a prostaglandin most commonly found as the tromethamine salt.
Good stuff. Mike if you check this thread, how much IGF-1 did you use? And this was IGF-1 not LR3 correct, for local growth??
How many PGF2a shots per group how often that kind of thing would be nice to know.
Id like to see what the addition of PGE1 and lidocaine for pain would make.
I didn't say I lost them all.I did lose some,and my diet and training were spot on.Like I said on MS.I'm not the only one to see gains disappear after IGF.If any of those bros happen to see the thread,they can chime in as well.Quote:

I think AAS in general is like that. I know when I first cycled I was anticipating all these tell tale signs of AAS use that people over hype and 40lbs of gains that didnt come. I am not expecting anything spectacular from IGF so I only order 1mg of it to run during PCT.Quote:

Da Bull you sound annoyed by my repetitiveness on the boards... are you? :)
HAHA..not at all bro.You sort of twisted what I said,so i needed to clarify things over here that's all.You want quick answers,this is one of the boards to post on,that's for sure.Quote:

What i used as IGF-1r suspended in BA, i used 40mcg / day, 20mcg first thing in the morning and the other 20mcg after training. As for PGF-2A, it was painful as fak but i just dealt with it, had to hang a sh*t about 20 minutes after injection each and every time, got a pretty good caugh right after injecting as well...I used 5mg per day in two divided doses of 2.5mg ( think that's correct i think it was 5mg/ml) i shot 20 mcg of IGF-1r at 6:00am...at 10:00am i shot 2.5mg of PGF-2a and at 12:30pm i shot the other 2.5mg of PGF-2a and at 7:00pm 20mcg of IGF-1r once again.Quote:

Thanks Mike. Thats great information. Your the first person ive spoken to whose used IGF-1 in conjunction with PGF2a. I bet lidocaine would make calves and forearms possible future injection sites by eliminating virtually all pain associated with PGF2a.
