IGF-1 LR3 Side Effects Details

[Povilys]

Hey guys,


Long time lurker here, finally making the jump into peptides after a bunch of reading on here and elsewhere. I've been training hard for years, sitting at 6'0" and 181lbs (82kg) right now – solid but wanting that extra edge for recovery and maybe some localized growth without going full blast on more gear.
Decided to start IGF-1 LR3 soon (got some decent stuff lined up), but I want to do it right and not screw myself over. What are the biggest things I absolutely need to know before pinning? Like, blood sugar crashes seem to be a real thing, anyone get hypo bad? How do you handle that (glucose tabs on hand, timing with carbs, etc.)? Other sides like joints or anything long-term?

On dosing: What's a smart starting point for my size? I've seen 40-50mcg post-workout as common, maybe bump to 80-100 if it feels good, but don't want to overdo it. SubQ in the muscle I'm targeting that day, right? And cycle length, 4 weeks on/4 off, or longer?
Anyone run it solo lately, or stacked with low-dose GH? What kind of results did you notice – pumps, fullness, actual gains? Hit me with your experiences, good or bad. Appreciate any input from you vets!

Can you explain whats wrong with my approach instead of making fun?

So everyone here are just to mocking new members that just want to learn. Can someone give some real advice. Because it’s getting frustrating to deal with your ego’s (were so above you attitude)

subcutaneous injection means under the skin, but above any muscle.

IM or intramuscular injection refers to an injection directly into the muscle.

so subq into the muscle is technically not wrong, as you will get the needle subcutaneous and then deeper to go into the muscle, they generally refer to two different injection strategies.

as far as "nobody buys x twice" im thinking it could mean that they either die from using it, or use it and recognize it is a rip-off/not worth it and dont purchase it again.

regarding the general apathy and not engaging with the post, i think igf-1 LR3 is a bit further down the line than stuff like testosterone or gh, and using it as a first-line option rather than the broader and more effective compounds might be the reason for the responses

Take at least 1mg of it otherwise it does literally nothing. Otherwise take that small dose and report back the placebo

snake oil, bud. If IGF1 LR3 does anything it's only at high doses of several milligrams, not micrograms. Either source Increlex (good luck with that) or just use test.

Welcome to the board.

LR3 IGF1 is not worth it. Many have tried it (myself included, many years ago). Few have tried it twice (h/t @adrenalytic). You’re better off using GH for whatever purpose you wanted to use the LR3 for (since GH converts to IGF-1 anyway).

The only peptides worth messing with are GH, GLP-1’s, and MAYBE MOTS-C and BPC/TB500 but for those latter 2 I just use more GH and recover faster from any injuries. I don’t like the angiogenesis promoting features of the BPC and TB. I haven’t tried MOTS-C but I hear some favorable reports from users. If you search around you’ll find that LR3 is just a dud.
