Running IGF-1 into contest day? Water retention?

[musclehealth]

I know you get some water retention from IGF-1. Is it a good idea to run it into contest day?

75mg tren ace ED 1-10
75mg Prop ED 1-10
75mg Masteron EOD 5-10
50mg winny ED 6-10

IGF is the part im skeptical about. I have 2 kits. I was thinking 60mcg ED for 33 days. Should I let it run into contest day or stop it a week before? Again...I dont want the water retention.

I know GH has to be stopped 2-3 weeks before a contest, but I haven't ran IGF-1 in the last 4 weeks before the contest, so it's hard to comment. Maybe more experienced users who compete can tell you.

IGF-1 is more of a new generation product, so I'm going to ask around and see if I can find a competitor who has used it recently.

Sounds good bro. From what I hear I should stop about a week out from the show. Some told me I should run throughout and some said no. The last thing I need is my 10 weeks of diet and training 2 go down the toilet, if I look puffy and bloated.

 

[Mr.X]

To be safe, I would stop it 2 weeks out IMO.

I remember when I ran IGF-1, I didn't feel bloated, but I wasn't 5% bf, so it's hard to say.

I will ask around to see if I can come up with a concerete answer from a competitive user.

I'd go with playing it safe and stopping it a week before. Granted I have never used IGF-1, but if the possibility exists of water retention then cut it off. Pre contest is rough with the dieting and carb depletion, I dont think losing a week of igf will stop your muscles from looking full etc during contest.

 

[Mr.X]

Just got off with a local friend who does IGF and competes. He said this:

"I stop IGF-1 12 days prior to the contest. MY GH is ran up to 30 days prior [to the contest]."

I know about GH, but there is your IGF-1 answer.

 

[musclehealth]

sounds solid to me. Ill take the advice. 12 days prior to show ill stop the IGF. Thanks Mr. X

 

[Makavelli]

X is right. I have guys that use IGF stop it about 2 weeks out.

Man X... I wish I lived near you bro. You have a vast amount of knowledge at your disposal. It seems like I'm all alone here. I diet alone, I workout alone... Almost all of my friends are masters at procrastination.

Makes it difficult at times... but I have the will power of a god so I stay on track fairly well for the most part!

In short... you rock man.
