Roid Gut

[AtlasJock]

Hey, we all know that HGH can cause the roid gut, but was wondering if IGF-lr3 does the same?

I'm planning to take IGF with my pct and just wondering at what doses to keep it at etc.


This isnt to discuss what actually forms the roid gut, as thats like beating a dead horse. People say this and that all the time but until we autopsy one, the world may never know.

The 'roid' gut is a combination of a lot of things. It's a topic that is always under discussion in the bodybuilding community.

Steroids/AAS actually have very little to do with it. Excessive amounts of insulin are what is causing the distended abdomens. You have the most insulin receptors on your stomach and overdoing exogenous insulin will promote fat storage as visceral fat in the stomach region. This is fat storage UNDERNEATH the abdominal muscles. Even though the competitor will have a 6 pack, he still has a large amount of fat under neath the abdominals causing the pot belly type look.

HGH/IGF, when abused, will promote the growth of the internal organs which will further distend the belly. Excessive amounts of HGH also promote insulin resistance which increase abdominal fat stores.

Lastly, a lot of the distention is simply due to the sheer amount of food needed to be eaten to support the amount of muscle competitors have. Couple that with diuretics the last couple of days before a show (which really constipate most people), and not regularly using fibre/digestive health supplements and you will have a big pot belly from fecal matter stored up in the intestines.

All that being said, there is no real IGF floating around on the black market. Real pharmaceutical grade IGF costs around $2000/week to run. Whatever these research peptide chemical companies are selling as IGF - your guess is as good as mine.

I would use the SARM nutrabol as an alternative. It is an HGH analogue that stimulates the pituitary gland to increase HGH output. sarms1.com carries a great product. http://www.evolutionary.org/nutrobal-mk-677-ibutamoren

if ur on starvation mode no amount of steroids will give u a gut if u wanna get down to 5% body fat its easy just eat 100% whole grain brown rice and start eating at 6 in the morning and stop eating at 5:30pm if ur around 15% body fat give it 4 months and u will get down to 5% body fat

Thanks for all the info, some ive heard and some is deff new to me. I know I'm a bit bloated from all the food I eat now. Just 3 more weeks for my cycle, pct then I can start cutting. Deff need to cut down the fat. I think im 15%-20%, hard to say. Can feel the abs and in the right light you can see the upper ones. deff store way too much belly fat, ide be happy around 8%-12% still look full and have abs

I can't really answer the original question because there is no way of knowing what you are really taking. As Muskate mentions, the chances you have real IGF are not likely.

Yea, I get it from a friend, I believe he orders some of his stuff from china, so could be anything cut with saline salts. The gear Iv'e gotten from him works thus far so I'm willing to give it a shot. just wish there was a way to test to see what it really is. Who knows it could be real igf, it could be cut with something and therefore be dilute.

I dont have the thousands of dollars needed to buy the machine that tells me what chemical it is

Look into nutrabol as an alternative. Nutrabol is an HGH analogue that signals the pituitary gland to increase HGH output. It would be equivalent to about 3-4iu of HGH per day - and you can at least be certain of what you are putting in your body. http://www.evolutionary.org/nutrobal-mk-677-ibutamoren

Nutrobal is definitely a good alternative, as it is cheaper, and you can be sure that you are getting the real stuff when you buy it from sarms1.com. Besides, what I really like about it is the fact that it renders good results much faster than HGH or IGF will do, which is also good.

Thanks, I'll deff look into it. And I can keep you guys posted how well the "igf" works, but wont be on that for about a month.(I had already bought it)
