Internal body fat was good 117 [over 150 is bad] but outside stomach fat is terrible 28%. Which the guy said would only be reduced by calorie deficit and not exercise which i found hard to understand as i thought exercise would help put me in a calorie deficitWhats your body composition like?
Some people pay A LOT of money to have high igf-1 levels.
The only problems I can see with igf-1 (and gh) is Unlike testosterone, igf1 and gh are not selective to the tissues they grow. This in shot means if you have a small cancer or tumor, I could get a whole lot bigger.
When I had my cancer, I had to avoid anything that increased my igf-1 levels - milk is quite effective at this.
Noobs and Fadi will know a bucket load more than I, Im sure they will chirp in soon.
Fadi, nice to have you back.
I'm a bit confused now.. So does IGF-1 contribute significantly to muscle gain (comparable to testosterone)?
From that video, it seems like its a bad thing as it contributes to all tissue growth (which i'm assuming includes fat etc.).
does that mean it can make body fat increase as wellIt all depends.. You cant isolate 1 thing as being a problem.
It makes all tissue grow.
But your immune system also destroys cancer ever day before it can thrieve.
IS it the high igf-1 or low immune system?
Insulin and igf-1 is abused in bodybuilding... Alot of them are still around quite old.
does that mean it can make body fat increase as well
