R3 IGF-1 Administration-workout days only or?

[T-Biggs]

I plan on running my IGF on Monday (20mcg/am and 20mcg/post-workout) but and have one last question before I start and that would be about administration-how should IGF be administrated during non-workout days? The same as if I was working out w/am-pm shot? Or should I follow a 5 days on 2 days off as I currenty workout M-F (5 days)....
In other words should IGF only be used on workout days?

no, igf-1lr3 should be used 7 days a week. the only reason not to would be to save some money, imo. i would also run it post workout only and on non workout days, shoot in the morning in the same muscle group worked the previous day.

Ok I gotcha on the 7 days a week makes sense (I run my GH the dame way), but the consciences on the boards seems to be 2x injections because of the half life of R3 Long IGF-1, which seems be be around 12 hours so split injections would make sense.......
However some guys seem to have done injections 2x a day (am/post-workout) and others have done just 1x a day (post-workout) and both parties seem to have recevied good results, but I have yet to find anyone would has done both and compared the two results

i have heard 16-20 for the half-life, but could be wrong though. i will be starting my igf-1lr3 cycle soon and will be opting for the one/day injection post w/o. you are right about not being able to find anyone who compared the two methods. that will come with time. this is all still too new.

I have heard 6-8, 8-12 and 20-30 for the half life, however my theory of thinking is this......just IGF-1 (not R3 long) has a half-life of 6-10 min and as I am not sure of the bio-technology behind making the longer version 20-30 or 16-20 it seems like an extremely dramatic increase in longevity of a delicate compound so 8-12 would seem more practical (this is all my opinon though), however as I start on Monday with am/post workout shots continuing with my current cycle I am in fact going to also try just post-workout also during the second time around and try to come up with a comparison...


All this reminds me of the questions that where circulating (as more guys starting doing GH) in reguards to the timing of GH shots in coralation with ones natural GH production Ex: am shots vs afternoon shots vs bedtime shots etc....

Regular IGF-1 has a short half-life, but it's also dependent upon the levels of IGFBP3, as higher levels will make for a longer half-life of IGF-1. IGFBP3 protects IGF-1 from degradation but also prevents it from being able to readily bind its receptors. The LR3 version has a porcine (pig) region of GH, I believe, at the N terminal end of IGF-1, which serves as a pseudo IGFBP by not allowing it to be easily degraded...it also prevents actual IGFBPs from binding it. These additional amino acids do not, however, prevent LR3 from binding IGF receptors, so the half life actually is considerably longer...by how much, I don't know for sure.
