I forgot about this post and just stumbled on it.
When my igf levels were higher after I stopped, I was on cycle but can't remember exactly what I was on. I did take about 6 months off of gh after that and my levels dropped down around the mid 200's.
I'm on rips right now, been on for a few months. Along with prop/tren/mast/var my body fat dropped down pretty good without no diet. I was actually around 6 to 8lbs heavier and looked about the same when I was on the same cycle minus the var while taking Thanks.
The main differences for me that I see between the Thanks and Rips are I get no sides from the rips like puffy hands, sore joints when I increase the dosage to fast. But I can't believe how tired I feel being on the rips. I just mentioned to my girl today, I can't believe almost every time I lay down I fall asleep.
I'm not holding all that much water that you keep hearing people say when they are taking them. From what I see, people that are holding a ton of water are getting their rips from the source. These guys are can't believe how much water they are holding. I don't get my rips from that source. The rips that mostly everyone is complaining about with the water weight is the source that GH15 mentioned that was giving free kits out.
I'm also sure the tren/mast/var/prop also helped me lose some BF. I'm coming off all that gear accept for test pretty soon, but will continue to run the rips. We'll see what happens after that.
I know people say IGF test don't mean anything. But I just wanted to mention, that on 5 to 6ius of thanks I got my levels test and I was on for a months and the best readings I got was in the low 300's.
I was on Rips at 3ius for only 2 weeks and need to get my blood work done anyway and it contains IGF testing and my levels came back in the low 300's on 3ius of Rips.
I also got my blood test done a few days ago, waiting for results. About the last 1.5 months out of the 3 I've been on rips have been 6ius at least 5 days a week. I kind of screwed up with taking my gh around my blood work. I didn't take any gh on Sat or Sun, took 6ius on Monday and Tuesday that day of the test I forgot to take my gh on my way out the door. I didn't feel like turning around so I just said screw it. Well see what happens.
