Well, I think it is a big deal for the forum to learn. To be honest, I was really pissed off about the initial result. I never even really questioned why my own natty IGF-1 had dropped sharply already in the early days of prep. No problem, I will just drive it up again by injecting growth hormone, right? Then the iron lion result, then I was shocked weeks later when pharma growth hormone resulted in my IGF-1 being almost off the bottom of the reference range (but I was weeks deeper into prep).
THEN I saw killionb12's results, and they were very similar to what I was seeing - and he was using the same growth hormone source (but a different one from me, so three different growth hormone sources now) during prep and after with the better result . . . it got the gears turning in my head.
Maybe more folks will be willing to test during prep.
Mighty Mouse - we need to get him to do a competition one day. Then get him to test his IGF-1 when he is starving and using a known growth hormone . . . LOL!
Like I said, I will be testing further after contests are over, not just iron lion (still have some of the same lot) but pharma as well. I'll post the results good, bad, or ugly. Obviously, that will be months from now, but I think this is all a very useful learning exercise for this forum.
Of course, the more others do this, too, the more we will have useful data beyond just one or two persons.
