    Do you use insulin on YOUR cycle?

    How many of you use insulin on your cycle? Are the gains MUCH greater if you use it than if you dont use it??

    I would only recommend insulin after doing hours and hours of research. There are some good threads in the peptides section.

    Personally, it scares the hell out of me. I'd always be scared of screwing with my insulin sensitivity, which is dangerous stuff. I've never heard of Pro BB's developing diabetes, but it seems like the threat is very present.

    AAS + HGH + Insulin is supposed to make you grow like a weed. That said diabetes runs in my family so I'll never mess with it.

    Maybe its got greater effects on different people. Im going to do a 6 week course of test prop (85mg a day) and 8iu a day of novolog fast acting. For pct just a stand 40mcg nolvaday everyday for first 2 weeks then 20mcg for the last 2 weeks. Does insulin have a bad effect on acne if your prone to it?

    When I ran slin I never went hypo once. I did my research and did everything by the book and I was fine. You need to be a little ocd with the stuff and never lose your respect for it.

    This is the wrong section, go to the peptide section there are a lot of insulin threads.

    Alex, is there a chance at shutting down your body's insulin production by introducing an external source?

  19. #19
    I ran insulin years ago. The dextrose and maltodextrin shakes killed me. Train, eat , inject, shakes- then spend the next 2 hours hoping you dont throw up. When I did throw up I had to redo all the shakes... or risk coma.

    Karbolyn is nice, I couldn't take in 225g of dextrose in an hour and a half. I would have 75g karbolyn pre, intra, and post workout running 10iu's pre workout.

    During the 4 or 5 hours that the slin is active after injection, should i be avoiding too many FATS and carbs to minimise fat gain??? is just avoid too many carbs? which one?

    ^^^^ This right here..... Karbolyn was great. I used my slin pre-workout and liked it but it's really not worth it IMO. Overall I feel it gives you a "full" look.... but without HGH it's not worth it for size gains.

    My friend was givin a protocol from a trainer for a couple pro's..... he ran the slin protocol which was no less than scientific witht he diet and insulin timing. He put on an absurd amount of weight really fast. When he was done with the protocol he eventually lost that weight..... even while cycling.

    No cardio..... no fatburners..... haha - i'm probably 13% or so which isn't lean by any means IMO.

    You when using slin you need to keep the carbs as low as you possibly can while still making sure you don't go hypo. The rule of thumb to start is 10g of carbs per 1iu of slin. Most guys can go lower than that but that comes with time and trying out different ammounts of carbs and having back ups on hand incase you go hypo. Fat consumption should be kept to 0.....

    Honestly..... it's not worth it IMO unless you are going to run HGH and compete.

    your body's insulin production is mostly related to blood sugar level. injecting insulin does not directly suppress natural production. but when the injected insulin decreases your blood sugar, your natural insulin will decrease. but it is not suppressed like HPTA during a AAS cycle. the next meal you eat, when blood sugar goes up again, natural insulin kicks in again.

    I haven't and don't plan on it. Just don't see the need to risk it for what I want to accomplish.

    No, I mean to your body's natural ability to make insulin.

    Ive used insulin a couple of times.

    I used it for 1 month solid before working out and alternating my IU dosage, but for me once i went over more than 10 or so IU the dextrose intake would make me physically sick so i just stuck around 10.

    I did have a change in diet, but i gained roughly 8kg in that month that i used it for and im still going up from there, i went from 92kg up to 103kg naturally in the space of about 2 months.

    Rules of thumb:
    If you plan to start using it, as everyone said lots of research.
    Start on a low dose and increase it daily, ive spoken to alot of people and most of them dont go over 10-15IU ive heard of some doing more.
    7-10 grams of dextrose for every IU taken, use 10 grams in the start so you know your on the safe side, you can reduce the dextrose down once your used to it and not panicking about going into a coma, i personally stick around the 7gram per IU range give or take a small amount lost of gain from measuring.

    Make sure you know your peak times so you can have your meal ready for when the second spike in insulin activity, if you dont and you do take it pre work out or even post work out, you could drive some where, go hypo and crash your car(happened to a friend of mine).
    I find the best way is to set little timers on your phone and activate them when youve injected.

    Always have red frogs or dextrose tablets on you and if you start to feel a little funny, just have a couple at a time until it subsides.

    And probably the best thing to do, is tell some one that your using it at your gym whos there when you're there, that way if something goes down, they will know whats wrong.

    Oh and take your BCAA with it.

    And two important things, if you have diabetes in your family from what ive read its probably not the best idea for you to be using insulin
    Use it for 1 month intervals, one month on one month off. personally i took the approach of one on two off to be safe.

    nice info there thanks. What exactly needs to be timed? Im only injecting post workout, then immediately i will have 50g waxy maize starch with protein shake, and half an hour after i will have lean chicken breast with veg. Then after that i will have another protein shake. Can you list your specific diet from after your post workout injection..
