    HGH,insulin and igf 1 for strength?

    as a powerlifter, i never used any of these compounds,(HGH,insulin and igf 1) for strength? when compared to AAS, how does GH and related products compare for absolute strength gains and strength training?

    IMHO, I've done HGH twice and am currently doing IGF-L3

    For HGH, I never really experienced any strength gains... the compound mostly helped me get that symmetrical look most bbers look for...my lats filled out into a V-shape and my shoulder looked rounder...so HGH was good for me in terms of aesthetics

    Two weeks into IGF LR3 and I am feeling amazing pumps and vascularity..and yes, my strength has increased somewhat...I will know for sure when i am done with the entire 5 weeks whether the strength gains can be fully credited to the IGF or was it just my rebound diet coming off a cutter

    cheers

    Done igf once... no effect. It'd be important to note that i was in submaintenance caloric phase (cutting)

    Conversely.. done slin a number of times... and it bumped my strength noticeably

    WHILE CUTTING!

    The gains in strength (more impressive cus my bodyweight was going down and i was still making personal bests on all my lifts) were maintainable.

    I have read not to use slin during cutting. Nark how did you use it during cutting and does it limit cutting?

    There isn't much info because imo it kinda goes against general board thought.

    I used it to solely pwo to make my carb consumption protocol more efficient... encouraging glycogen supercompensation pwo etc. The theory was.. the strategic supercompensation would encourage the total utilisation of carbs ingested during pwo, ppwo.. and the 3 rd meal following. Humulin-R was used instead of Humalog due to the longer activity. Carbs werent' consumed in any of the three meals prior to training.. to curtail insulin spikes.. encouraging lypolisis.

    Did it limit cutting? Hell no. Lost 40 lbs in 11 weeks... and was shredded from head to toe ('cept glutes which are a problem area). Also noteworthy is that i was using no other anabolics other than slin... and the only 'cutting agent' used was cytomel ...and that was only 25 mcg for just 20 days.

    Obviously this must indicate that a nutrient partioning agent makes a spot-on diet more effective.
