GMO's IGF-1 DES PCT Log

So I'm asking.... are you freezing the solution to a solid state? Yes or no.

No not to a solid state. I was told this was not necessary. I have read so many different ways to reconstitute and store IGF-1 DES. It seems like there is no definitive answer as to the best way to do this. If you have suggestions, I am all ears, as I will be reconning my next vial this week. Any expertise is appreciated.
 
Okay, that's all I asked. If you're freezing to a solid state, the protein will unravel, rendering it useless. Moreover, the term "freezing" means to make a solution into a solid; so I think you need to refine your thinking when expressing what it is you're doing.
 
Ok, so week two begins...

Weight: 218 and holding. I can tell that I have lost some water weight, as my abs are popping like nobody's bidness!:winkfinger:

I trained chest today and have not lost any strength thus far.

Still getting the awesome pumps in the muscles that I inject with the DES and still ferociously hungry ALL the time!

I have decided to spot inject the lagging parts of my physique, as I have read that DES effects the muscle directly upon administration. The only exception is my shoulders because I tore one delt a few years back, and the other nags me a little during flat bench. I am hoping that the IGF will help them to mend.

Stay Tuned...
 
Had a killer back workout today. I crushed deads like a freight train.

I am starting to sleep a little longer and feel more tired near the end of the day. Not sure if this is related to DES, but I thought I should log it nonetheless.
 
I just got my hands on some more DES for myself, very excited about it. Glad to see its working so well for you.

Alright...the journey has begun. My DES has shipped today, and I must say that communication with EP has been excellent! Far superior to any other company that I have done business with. E-mails are always returned same day...even on Sundays.

I will be running EP IGF-1 DES as part of my PCT regimen starting Monday Feb 14th. My cycle was as follows:

1-12 Test C 600mg
1-6 D-bol 50mg
8-14 T-bol 60mg

I have gained 18 clean pounds from this cycle. My goal is to keep ALL or MOST of it using Clomid and IGF-1 DES.

My PCT is simple: Clomid 100/75/50/50 and IGF-1 DES 50mcg PWO bilateral site injects, as per Victor's suggestion. I may throw an AI or Cortisol blocker in around week 2-3, but that all depends on how my body is doing.

I am 34 years old 5'10 220lbs 10% BF (calipers) and have been lifting for 21 years. I played High School and Div 1 College Football. I have done numerous cycles in the past 9 years, but have just come off of a 2 year hiatus after a torn anterior delt. (Hence the low test dose). This will be my first experience with a peptide.

Stay Tuned!


What's a good cortisol blocker?
 
why are you injecting post workout instead of preworkout?
 
Day 10

I've been sleeping close to 10 hours every night and having vivid dreams. This is VERY unusual for me, but I can't complain...I like the extra sleep. My shoulders have also been feeling a lot better, but I'll know more after I train them today.

I am still hungry ALL the time, and my muscles are very full.

I trained legs yesterday and even ended up lifting more than I ever have for reps on my last set of leg presses. This happened with Deads on Tuesday as well. Is it a fluke...or am I getting stronger? Only time will tell...:thinking:
 
Trained shoulders today and still had a little pain in my right shoulder that went away after I was warmed up. At any rate, it does feel better than it has in a long time. I experienced no pain whatsoever in my left shoulder, which was the one that was bothering me the most. I pinned them again post-workout and am thinking of upping my IGF dose to 80mcg/day.

Nice! Thats awesome to hear!!!

Day 15

Unfortunately I was sick the entire weekend, and despite my best efforts, I still dropped 3lbs to 215.:shooter:

I think I am partially to blame as it felt like over-training to me. Because of this I have simplified my routine and decreased volume while maintaining intensity. I also have a full three days rest rather than two.

All that said, I had a great workout today. Surprisingly, my strength was on par with previous workouts and unaffected by my illness. I crushed it!

I bumped my IGF dose to 80mcg as of today, and I will finish out my PCT at that dose. I also added 75mg ATD for estrogen control and a test boost just to cover my bases.
 
I was sick all last week. It sucks laying on the couch with a fever when you need to be in the gym and at work.

No doubt bro! I'm thankful it was just the weekend. I can't stand bring trapped in my house...I can only watch so many movies.
 
Prescription cough syrup + bong(Roor) = a fun few days.

I just stayed on the couch with my computer putting together my next cycle.
 
Just wanted to check in and report...

Ever since going up to 75mcg/day, I have been getting a really dry mouth. Nothing that I can't tolerate, but slightly annoying nonetheless. The silver lining is that it is making me drink more H2O. :)

It also increased my hunger tenfold. I eat and, less than an hour later, I am starving again. This, of course, is priceless when on PCT. I have hopefully gained back some of the weight I lost while sick.

Strength is still on par, and I am tearing up the gym.

So far, I am loving this stuff...
 
Last Week of PCT

Today was day 1 of week four of my PCT...man did the time fly!

My weight is holding at 215, so I'm down a total of 3lbs since I began this journey. I lost that three pounds while I was sick last weekend.

I trained chest/tris today and felt great. I had a slight decrease in strength/endurance on my flat dumbell bench. My last set, I was only able to push 120's 5x. This pissed me off so much that I crushed my incline presses, so that made up for it.:winkfinger:

Next Monday, I am going back to barbell bench press, so I can truly gauge where my strength is compared to on-cycle.

The dry mouth has gone away thankfully, and I am still CONSTANTLY hungry. In fact, I'm hungry right now, so I'm going to go pound some food. -Peace
 
Got me wanting to try this now. Damn you!

LOL...

Alright, so I had to bump my leg day to today and take yesterday off. Life happens ya know?

Anyway, crushed it again today. Ended up getting dizzy and seeing stars in btw my squats and leg press sets, but that is normal for me...at least I didn't throw up.

My legs are still remarkably strong, and I haven't noticed any strength decrease at all as of yet in this muscle group.:winkfinger:

My knees used to bother me somewhat in the beginning of my leg training, but that did not happen today at all. This has BY FAR been the smoothest PCT I have ever experienced.

Not that this is IGF related, but my libido has been in full swing as well for the past week. All in all, I would say that I am recovering nicely. I won't know for sure however until I get my blood work done next month.
 
hell yeah man!! how much longer u running ur pct for bro? cant wait to see the bloodwork, I will be following your path in about 8 weeks haha
 
Ok, as I mentioned before, I have been plagued by shoulder issues for a couple of years. Well, I trained shoulders today and had absolutely NO PAIN. This is the first time this has happened since my mid-late twenties. I am left utterly speechless.

On my off days from training, I have been injecting the DES into my shoulders hoping for this result after reading that IGF-1 promotes healing. Well, I can certainly say it does.

Thank you Extreme Peptide for helping to rid me of this constant thorn in my side.:thumbs:
 
Did your shoulders usually bother you when you would do incline bench and flat bench presses? If I go heavy on the barbell flat presses the next day I feel like my shoulders are going to fall off.

Yes, most definitely. I would get a sharp pain and ache mainly in my left shoulder.
