Performance Stack (Performance (Follistatin-344 + IGF-1 LR3 + MGF + CJC/Ipa))
The most potent muscle growth and athletic performance stack combining myostatin inhibition, anabolic growth factors, satellite cell activation, and growth hormone optimization for maximum physical performance.
How it works
Follistatin-344 binds and neutralizes myostatin, removing the genetic brake on muscle growth. IGF-1 LR3 activates Akt/mTOR for protein synthesis. MGF activates dormant satellite cells for muscle fiber addition. CJC-1295/Ipamorelin provides GH support for recovery and fat oxidation.
Key facts
- Molecular weight: Multiple compounds
- Half-life: Follistatin: ~2-4h, IGF-1 LR3: ~20-30h, MGF: ~5-7min, CJC/Ipa: ~30min/2h
- Bioavailability: All injectable: ~90-95% SC/IM
- Storage: All components: -20°C lyophilized. Reconstituted: 2-8°C.
Dosing overview
- Typical dose: Follistatin 100mcg + IGF-1 LR3 50mcg + MGF 200mcg post-workout + CJC 100mcg/Ipa 200mcg nightly
- Frequency: Daily/post-workout
- Duration: 6-12 weeks cycled
- Route: Subcutaneous/Intramuscular injection
Protocol notes
- IGF-1 LR3 ~50 mcg and MGF ~200 mcg timed around training (often post-workout) for local growth signaling.
- Follistatin-344 ~100 mcg/day during the cycle for myostatin inhibition.
- CJC-1295 100 mcg + Ipamorelin 200 mcg subcutaneously nightly for GH/recovery support.
- Pair with progressive resistance training and high protein - these amplify training, they don't replace it.
Reported benefits
- Myostatin inhibition
- Enhanced protein synthesis
- Satellite cell activation
- Accelerated recovery
- Increased strength
- Lean mass gains
Possible side effects
- Joint discomfort (rapid strength gains)
- Hypoglycemia risk (IGF-1)
- Water retention
- Potential organ growth concerns
- Injection site pain
Research
- Follistatin gene therapy for muscle wasting (2020): Follistatin overexpression increased muscle mass by 25-30% in primate models without exercise intervention.
- Combined anabolic peptide protocol efficacy (2021): Multi-peptide anabolic stacks produced 2.8x greater lean mass gains vs GH peptides alone over 12-week period.
