    IGF-1 before morning cardio?

    I am thinking about taking a dose of IGF-1 before my morning cardio to aleviate catabolism? I know some people go hypo after taking it...
    what are your thoughts

    I'm sure you meant metabolism not catibolism, I've done it before but I would eat a half a cup of oatmeal. If you do try it with no carbs, get some glucose tabs, encase you start going hypo

    Johnny,

    I meant catabolism...

    I meant morning cardio on empty, like I would do while on a steroid cycle.
    But on a steroid cycle muscular atrophy would be eliminated due to reduced metabolic breakdown. Whereas if I am natural, the body is in a catabolic state in the morning after fasting for several hours... so muscular atrophy is more likely to occur during morning cardio, whereas on a cycle I am more likely to use fat stores for energy if my heart rate is in the right range... correct me if I am wrong in thinking this...
    but since IGF-1 is anti-catabolic, I think it would work in sparing muscle during morning cardio and encourage fat stores to burn.

    Sounds like your main INTREST in IGF-1 is for it fat loss qualities.I have never been keen on HGH and IGF-1 for fat loss it`s not worth the money.Give it try,all the best.

    yes, you def could go hypo. some notice it sooner then others. i myself don't but others around me go easy hypo on lr3. just keep some dex tabs on hand,just in case. it sure won't be as bad as slin.
