- The effects of IGF-1 are normally best suited for promoting off-season mass and for the physical recovery of any athlete. Very few will use this hormone in a cutting cycle, as it can have a negative effect on the individual’s metabolic rate. That’s the last thing you want when dieting, but we can make an exception. Some competitive bodybuilders are able to use IGF-1 during their contest prep and stay lean, while also maintaining more of their lean mass. It takes years of experience to be able to pull this off and not only a thorough understanding of hormones but a thorough understanding of how they affect you as an individual.
- For the individual looking for raw size, there are a couple of solid options when considering IGF-1 use. Many will use it during their course of anabolic steroids, which will only enhance the rate in which lean tissue is built, as well as the amount. Others, and this is typically for more advanced bodybuilders, will use it during a bridge period. A bridge refers to a period of time in-between anabolic steroid cycles or full blown cycles. In this case, the individual will continue using a maintenance dose of testosterone and add in the IGF-1. Many who do this are also using HGH and simply continue it from their cycle that just ended into the bridge that just began. Regardless of your specific time of use, during cycle or as a bridge, the use of HGH is normally advised. IGF-1, while powerfully anabolic also has the ability to promote excess fat storage. During an off-season bulking stage, maintaining proper body fat levels is hard enough on its own, and it’s only complicated by the use of IGF-1. However, when we include HGH the metabolic boost it provides should be enough to keep things under control. Further, the synergy between these two hormones is remarkable.
- What can you expect out of IGF-1 during off-season use? It’s hard to put a specific number on the amount of weight gained or specific increases in strength. As every human being is different and responds a little differently this can be hard to determine. However, we do have data to pull from, specifically a study done on IGF-1 using mice. In the study, the mice given IGF-1 a 15% increase in mass and a 14% increase in strength. Those may sound like small numbers to you, but that’s truly a remarkable increase. For example, take a 220lb bodybuilder, if his mass increases by 15% he now weighs 250lbs and that’s hardly a small increase. Of course, data obtained using mice, while often a good indicator is not always accurate. A prime example of inaccuracy would be the studies that showed strong anabolic action with the bronchodilator Clenbuterol, but when used in humans the anabolic action didn’t translate. However, while we cannot say with certainty a human being will experience a 15% increase in mass, we do know the anabolic power of IGF-1 in humans is extremely strong. Even if it’s only half of what was reported in mice that’s still a dramatic improvement.
- The final effects of IGF-1 surround recovery. The hormone will improve overall recovery from training and strenuous activity, but it doesn’t end there. IGF-1 actually carries direct healing properties, not masking like a painkiller but true therapeutic healing. The use of IGF-1 can greatly reduce the total time for healing joint injuries. It has even been shown to significantly aid in the healing of tendons and ligaments. As all these areas of the body take a beating by most athletes, IGF-1 becomes extremely valuable.
