Feedback on 8‑week PEG‑MGF + IGF‑1 LR3 + CJC‑1295 stack for post‑injury recovery

Posted by trevor_recovery in Protocols & Stacks - 1 points, 4 comments.

I’ve been dealing with a recurring hamstring strain from soccer and decided to try a short recovery‑focused stack. My current protocol is 8 weeks, three injections per week (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri). I reconstitute PEG‑MGF to 2 mg/mL with bacteriostatic water, then dose 150 µg per injection, aiming for systemic satellite cell activation. On the same days I inject IGF‑1 LR3 50 µg (reconstituted to 5 mg/mL) right after my workout, hoping to boost protein synthesis during the window when the muscle is primed. At night I add CJC‑1295 100 µg plus Ipamorelin 200 µg, mixed in 1 mL and taken subcutaneously before bed for GH support and better sleep recovery.

I’m cycling for 8 weeks, then taking a 2‑week break before reassessing. So far I feel less soreness after hard sessions and notice a slight increase in strength, but I’m not sure if the gains are from the peptides or just better training consistency. I’m also watching for any joint discomfort or fatigue. Anyone tried a similar combination, especially the frequency of PEG‑MGF with IGF‑1 LR3? Any suggestions on dosing timing or safety concerns would be appreciated.

  • greg208: Not gonna lie, I ran a similar 8‑week run‑in after a torn rotator cuff. I used PEG‑MGF 150 µg twice a week and IGF‑1 LR3 40‑50 µg post‑gym, plus the CJC/Ipamorelin combo at night. For me the biggest change was feeling less “tight” around the joint rather than any massive strength jump – probably the satellite cell boost helping tissue quality. I kept the night dose separate from the post‑workout IGF‑1; timing it later seemed to improve sleep depth a bit. Watch for occasional mild joint ache whe
  • amber464: Makes sense about the joint feel‑up. I’ve also noticed the night combo can make me sleepier, so I keep it away from big leg sessions. I’ll schedule the IGF‑1 right after upper‑body work and run a CMP around week 6 just to watch liver enzymes. Thanks for the timing tip.
  • trevor_recovery: Got it, I’ll shift the CJC/Ipamorelin to nights when I’m not doing squats or deadlifts – I’ve felt a bit sluggish after leg days too. I’ll also move IGF‑1 to right after upper‑body workouts as you do. Planning a CMP at week 6, so we’ll see if any liver changes pop up. Thanks for the practical tip!
  • trevor_recovery: Ngl, that lines up with what I saw on my hamstring. The night GHRH/Ipamorelin definitely made me sleep deeper, and I also noticed a bit more joint looseness rather than raw power. I’ll keep IGF‑1 a little farther from leg‑heavy days and plan a blood work check around week 6.
