Sorry all... I have been keeping my journal, just on paper for the last week. I had to go out of town for work. I know some of you are still in college... god, I wish for those days. FYI: I am 30. And my girlfriend wants to get married and have kids three months ago. So my ass has to go where the money is...

I am typing in my journal for the past week now. Will post in a few minutes. Good stuff. Thanks for keeping this thread alive.

[Swellin]

Whew! Glad to hear you only had an attack of work!

Day 15

6:45 am - Injection 20 mcgs

Ketones: Large 80-120 mg/dL (I can't tell exact number on ketostix)

Weight: 208

Arms: 18 "

Waist: 33 1/4"


I left to go out of town on business yesterday. FOr the past two days I have consumed hardly

any carbs. I am in full blown ketosis. WHich I like. However, there is a different feel to it

than when I am not on IGF-1. I am more aware of my mouth... I think I have more saliva than

usual. I did drop a pound, and I believe it is because of the low carbs and travel. I will

say though, I am noticing definition and cuts that were not there before.


6:00 pm - injection 20 mcg

Ketones: Moderate 40 mg/dL

I ate carbs at lunch, didn't have much of a choice.


9:00 pm - I have a head ache. Not sure if it was because of the carbs I had at lunch or the

dull ache I seem to get from the IGF-1.




Day 16

6:30 am - injection 20 mcg

Ketones: moderate 40 mg/dL

I have a head ache. Again, too many variables for me to tell what is causing it: travel,

different food, hotel bed, hotel air, carbs, IGF-1. Too many variables.

I am hungry though. Very. Again though, not sure what variable is responsible or if it is a

combination.

5:30 pm - Injection 20 mcg

Feel good. Great pump all day long. Hungry.

Ketones: Small 15 mg/dL




Day 18

6:45 am - injection 20 mcg

Ketones: Trace 5mg/dL

Weight: 210 (I don't trust this scale, so I am discounting this measurement. this is a

different scale than the one at home.)

Two things are standing out: a continual headache, and an occasional shot of pain running

down my left side, halfway between my center line and the most lateral part of my body. My

guess is my intestines, though it could be my spleen, pancreas or just about anything else. I

say intestines only because I still have strange grumbling sounds. No distended gut though

(not sure that 18 days is enough to even get a distended gut).

6:00 pm - injection 20 mcg

Ketones: small 15 mg/dL

Dull headache still present. Haven't had that shot of pain in several hours. Maybe it was

gas.... the food I am eating is not even remotely close to my normal daily intake. The

abdominal pain could just have been gas.

I have to say again, I really like what the IGF-1 LR3 is doing to the appreance of my body.




Day 20

6:45 am - injection 20 mcg

Ketones: Moderate - 40 mg/dL

Arms: 18 1/4"

Waist: 33"

I notice that if I do not eat a couple hours after injection I get really nauseous. So long

as I eat I seem to be anywhere from normal to slightly nauseous. If I don't eat though, I

feel like I am getting the flu.


6:30 pm - injection 20 mcg

Ketones: trace - 5mg/dL



Day 21

5:00 am - injection

Ketones: moderate 40mg/dL

Arms: 18 1/4"

Waist: 33"

Had to inject early today, I have my return flight.


2:00 pm

<< Catching up in my AR IGF-1 journal. Thanks for keeping this alive >>

I loaded up on food before my flight and slept like a baby the whole way through. I will say,

I can take naps at just about anytime while on the IGF-1.

5:30 - Injection 20 mcgs

[BGMKE7]

i get the same nauseous feeling if i dont eat enough carbs while on the igf-1 and i too get those headaches which for me hurt like hell.i found that if i eat though the headaches seem to go away.

[getnlarg]

Welcome Back Solrock!! Many of us were concerned. Glad to get your posts back and keep it up.

[rococo]

good to have you back! Sigh of relief from all of us!

[Julio2254]

I am very interested on the effect of IGF-1 on organ growth, if anyone has any articles with definitive info on it please post.

[Solrock]

Day 23

7:00 am - Injection 20 mcgs

Ketones: Trace 5 mg/dL

Weight: 209

I noticed that the dull headache goes away if I eat carbs. It definitely makes things easier... the

headache is annoying and disrupts my concentration.

I noticed that the last couple days my GI tract has not been 'rumbling' as much. In fact, it has just about

stopped. I have no idea why. My weight has also remained the same for a little over a week now, though

there is more definition.



12:30 pm

Ketones: Small 15 mg/dL


6:00 pm Injection 20 mcgs



Day 24

6:30 am - Injection 20 mcgs

Well... it looks like I have been injecting slighly more than the 40 mcgs a day, as I am completely out of

my IGF-1 LR3. I was close to the mark, 24 days out of 25. I fell three 20 mcg injections short of the 25 days.

Ketones: trace 5 mg/dL


Final Stats as of last injection:


Weight: 209 - up 7 lbs from start date with no AAS.

Arms: 18 1/2" - yeah! up 1" in 24 days

Waist: 33" - down 1 3/4" - quite pleased

BF: 9% - down 1% according to calipers. FYI: I don't trust calipers all that much. Whether my assessment of my BF% is accurate based on BF% could be questioned, but my consistency in my method and area of measurements have remained consistent. The only thing I can say for BF% with certainty is that there has been a change in my body composition as far as adipose tissue.



Summary:
I am quite pleased with the IGF-1 LR3. As far as I am concerned, there is no debate about it being effective. It is definitely a unique compound when compared to AAS. It's mechanisms of action feel completely different.

I will definitely be including IGF-1 LR3 in my next AAS cycle, and will also use it during PCT... I strongly suspect that it could very well stave off any loss of muscle. It may even add a little. But that is another journal....



THANKS TO:
I wanted to thank all of you guys who contributed to this thread and showed concerned when I didn't post for 6 days (I was out of town on work). I appreciate your concern. It is one of the things that makes AR a great place. The internet and bulletin board forums are great for the dissemination of information... AR is no exception... however, what makes me love this place is the COMMUNITY that is alive and breathing here. THAT is what makes all the difference.

Thanks for your support.

And thanks to the vets and mods who have answered my PM's over the past year.

[the dent depot]

Bravo! I am considering it now...

[JohnnyB]

I have some, will be using it some time next year

[Swellin]

Excellent journal! I can't wait to order mine. I still haven't decided where to run it, but I sure feel like I need to do so.
This journal will be a huge help to others...it lays out some expectations...gains & sides. Although these are specific to the individual, reading accounts of such results helps any potential user to prepare.

Thanks Solrock.

[rococo]

Glad for the final update... NOW for the big question, when are you going in for a physical and CT scan of your abdomen to check for enlargement of your organs... not your "organ"... is that where you misplaced your last day and a half worth of dosage???

[Da Bull]

Nice final post bro...thanks for sharing.........DB

[King Test]

good stuff... appreciate the info

[the dent depot]

Hey Solrock...another thing....
Did you or anyone around you notice any changes in the appearance of your face? As in jaw, cheek bone, or forehead?

Regards,

D

[rococo]

And one more question... You mentioned early on that you injected according to when you were going to work out... what did you do on days that you didn't work out? What type of workout schedule were you on... 4-5 days a week?

[Julio2254]

I am VERY interested on the effects of IGF on organ growth, so if you get those results PLEASE let me know.

[Testify]

Great journal Solrock! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. Contributions like this are one of the things that make AR such a great board. I am pretty pumped to incorporate IGF into my next cycle.

[LightWeightBaby]

thanks solrock you were a great help to me and I am sure many others, I will be starting in febuary keep me posted on when you do it next

[BrownBomber]

It seems like IGF is EXTREMELY hard to measure even using a slin syringe. A slight miscalc. could leave you with more/less mcg's than you wanted. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
BB

[getnlarg]

Nice Journal, Solrock!! Great info. I'm setting up a cycle with IGF-1 R3 and AS and your posts have been very informative. Look forward to further posts of yours.

Train Hard

[redrumkev]

I must agree with getnlarg, great info. I look forward to seeing the results of a combo AS and IGF-1 R3, should be crazy!

[Solrock]

Metrics: 9 days after last IGF-1 LR3 injection


Weight: 211 (I think xmas added a couple pounds, up 2lbs from 209)

Arms: 18 3/4" (up 1/4 inch and solid)

Waist: 32 3/4" (down 1/4 inch)


Ketones: I really haven't moved beyond trace amounts at 5 mg/dL. In light of the fact that my diet has remained almost exactly the same, I feel there is a definite correlation between IGF-1 LR3 and the body's use of blood sugar and fat stores.

I have kept ALL muscle gains. If anything, I think my muscles feel 'harder'.

The most pronounced effect I have noticed though is the definition. I am still just as cut today as I was on the last day of injection, if not more. Reviewing my journal, it seemed that the cuts and definition surfaced during the second half of the cycle.

Depending on how my test results turn out (next week!) I fully intend to use IGF-1 LR3 in my upcoming AS cycle. It is also my feeling that IGF-1 will be AMAZING for PCT. I intend to start running IGF-1 the same day I begin clomid. With what I am expereincing now, I truly feel that the IGF-1 will help keep gains, and maybe even add a little more.

[Swellin]

I wondered about this...nice to hear that everything looks good. What test are you having next week?

[Solrock]

Hey Solrock...another thing....
Did you or anyone around you notice any changes in the appearance of your face? As in jaw, cheek bone, or forehead?

Regards,

D

I have not noticed any changes in these areas or in any type of bone structure.

[Solrock]

I wondered about this...nice to hear that everything looks good. What test are you having next week?

Tests:

Total Cholesterol, HDL,LDL,and Ratios, Triglycerides, Glucose, Kidney, Liver, and Heart Functions, Potassium, Calcium, Uric Acid, Electrolytes, Iron, CBC (Complete Blood Count) and PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen). Along with Testosterone (Total & Fractionated).
