GMO's IGF-1 DES PCT Log

[TGB1987]

Nice thread by the way! I would love to try IGF but I am hypoglycemic all the time anyway. So I think I am going to stay away from that sort of thing. Looked like a nice PCT though

Alright bros!

Final training day of my PCT. I demolished back today. I must say that my total strength has hardly waned. My deads are just as strong as ever, as are most of my rows. One decrease I did notice was in weighted pull ups. I only hit 4 reps on my last set rather than my normal 6. Could be a fluke, but only time will tell.

Monday, I am going to do a variety of compound movements to gauge where my strength is today compared with on-cycle.

I am very impressed with this peptide and will probably never PCT again without it. Next time however, I plan on running LR3 as well.

I will write a final summary and review on Monday after my workout.

Great log GMO. It sounds like you kept nearly everything you gained. That is awesome.

i am running lr3 and i can tell already its good stuff,(experienced igf user), this is my first time using on cycle, usually during pct, and ill tell u i always know when igf is real, cus u get the most vivid dreams and deep sleep. for the price extremepeptide is beyond amazing, im telling all my bros about this company, iron-dragon, u just loss a long time customer to extremepeptide

Final Observations

PCT is OVER!!!!

Today I did several common lifts to compare my strength today w/ my strength on cycle. Here are the results:

On-cycle/Today

Bench Press:315x8/315x5

Squat: 385x8/385x4

Deadlift: 405x8/405x8

Standing Shoulder Press: 205x6/205x3

Bent-over Rows: 245x8/245x6

That was one f**ked up workout...I'm beat.

As you can see, I lost some strength, but not near as much as usual. One of the greatest things about this PCT was that I always had high energy in the gym and was able to lift intensely throughout with no problems.

My final weight today was 212, so I am down 6lbs from when I concluded my cycle, but my BF% was measured at 9% today. That is down 1% from the conclusion of my cycle. I have also dropped some water weight. All in all pretty good I would say.

So in conclusion IGF-1 DES from Extreme Peptide:

Helped me keep most of my strength, and a majority of my weight.
Helped to repair shoulder damage that has plagued me for years.
Kept me voraciously hungry throughout my PCT.
Gave me tremendous pumps and energy while in the gym.
Helped me sleep 8-10 hours every night, so that my body could repair itself.
Helped shave another 1% of my BF, which is hard to do at 10%.

All in all, I give it a 10/10. The only improvement I would make is to run LR3 alongside, which I plan to do on my next PCT.

Kudos to EP for such a magnificent product!!!

great log bro..def something im gonna give a try..have you tried igf-1 lr3 in a pct before?

 

[Ss4Goku]

Sounds awesome! I think igf should be a standard for all pct.

great log bro..def something im gonna give a try..have you tried igf-1 lr3 in a pct before?

No, but I plan to run both on my next PCT...

What dosage are you going to start at next time? right to 80?

And when you say 80, do you mean 80 each side (160mcg) or 40 each side for a total of 80?

Great thread bro. Thanks for sharing.

Next time I run it, I will be running LR3 along side, so I'll probably start with 50mcg again (25mcg each side).

I'm on day 3 of DES and I can alreaady tell that my tendonitis feels 100x better.

Will know more as I lift on it next week, but as for now my arms feel great.

I was doing 50mcg / SIDE for a total of 100 right off the bat.

I could feel a little pressure behind my eyes in my head, almost pushing out on my eyeballs and my temples if that makes sense.

Maybe I'll drop it a tad, and consider the 3x100 a pre-load

I also had a pain by my left achilles tendon at my ankle. Also gone.

I work alone and very physical fast moving long hours jobs, and my body gets 'overused'. My joints and tendons never felt so good as they do now. I almost look forward to next week.

I wonder if I'm wasting by running 50 / side?

 

[slow-90lx]

I am running des right now and hope it works wonders on my tendonitis. Have a fresh injury and once im good, im running my cycle that has been sitting. I'm very anxious to start. I might have to pick up more to run during pct it seems

How much you running? I've also pinned the forearms 2x each. My 3rd pin was the calfs to be close to the ankle.

Running 50mcg bilateraly. Switching between forearms and delts. More shots in the forearms though.

Going to run this for a few weeks and then see how the tendonitis is. Its actually feeling much better than expected given the time frame.

edit: 25mcg per side

I am back to lifting heavy with greater volume during my current cycle. I would ALWAYS have joint pain in both shoulders at this point in years past. I am happy to report that my shoulders remain pain-free even under the heavy loads and frequent lifts I am performing on cycle.

Thank you IGF-1 DES and thank you Extreme Peptide!

 

[Ravager]

Man that must be such a relief!!! I hate lifting through pain! It makes me dread the next set instead of getting psyched up for it.

IGF is doing its healing wonders on me too....ankle tendon is a thing of the past, and my tendonitis is almost gone! I still can't hold dumbell palm down arms straight and life left arm straight up without pain, but still working at it!!!! Great stuff.

Extreme Peptide is the best.

Nice just read through this looks great GMO, and if you had run at 80mcg throughout do you think you might have kept all of your gains? Also I would assume you actually lost less strength than your last comparison showed because you went BACK to barbell to test the strength meaning your CNS was not tuned to the movement like it was when you hit your highs on cycle.

How do you plan on running the DES and LR3 together? I though much more than 100mcg of IGF was not a good thing regardless of it being DES or LR3. Would you run like 25 bilaterally of DES pre workout, then still get a post workout GH surge and then run the LR3 a few hours later at 25 bilaterally again?

Yes, I was able to maintain a great deal of strength during and after PCT. That is what impressed me most about the DES. For LR3 and DES dosing, I would use 50mcg of LR3 in the AM on training days and 50mcg of DES POST-workout. On non training days, I would run the LR3 only at 80-100mcg a day in the AM. Unfortunately, due to some recent financial stress, I was unable to pick up some LR-3. Fortunately a good friend of mine surprised me with a bottle of DES, so I am running that again solo.

Nice, have you thought about running it before the workout? I was reading that pre workout with DES gets IGF to the muscle so that the satellite cells can be activated when pushed hard during the workout. Supposedly this also still allows for the natural MGF production post workout as well to repair the damaged muscle tissue. Russian is stating doing it that way and allowing the MGF to do its thing for about 3-5 hours and then take the LR3. So basically IGF activates the satellite cell and tells it to become a muscle fiber once this happens the cell can no longer split to make new cells. MGF on the other hand can tell the satellite cells to split creating new cells. From what I have read basically it means you get more muscle growth with IGF but new satelite cells from the MGF and too much time on IGF not allowing MGF to do its thing can limit the amount of new muscle that can be built in the long run. That and MGF works specifically on repairing damaged tissue so it makes damaged muscles stronger. Anyway kind of cool how it all ties in. Now the challenge is how to exploit those relationships as economically as possible...
