I have mostly stuck with taking novalin R post workout, but recently I tried taking 5ius pre workout and taking a protein shake with me to the gym that I sipped on while working out. I experienced some great pumps while in the gym, and I honestly think it worked better, so I may continue doing it this way.

leave novolin/humulin to the pros. novolin/humulin have longer peaks and duration lasts long time. if your going to use it then humalog or novolog is best. but still even then

I used novolin r for 2 weeks.. Was taking 12 ius pre-workout and then would drink Half before gym and other half after. Go home take my protein & creatine 30-45 mins later eat some lean chicken or beef with a salad

I did notice insane pumps that fûcking hurt like no tomorrow..

Not sure why anyone would use long acting slin when there's short acting slin like Humalog out there. I prefer quick in and out plus you don't have to avoid fats near as long. I've never used Humalog in large amounts but I have used 5iu (pinned IM) 1 hour before the gym and immediately pwo with good results.

Regular insulin / Novolin R
30 - 60 minutes Onset
2-3 hours Peak
4-6 hours Duration
CLEAR

Way to long of a duration for me especially if you're pinning pre and pwo...that would pretty much mean you would have to keep fat out of the equation for around 8 hours.

What brand is faster?

Humalog

Is 15 mins onset 1-2 hour peak and 3-5 hour duration but don't quote me though.. For 1 hour longer duration, 15 min slower onset and the price and availability of novolin r that's why I go that route..

I pin my Humalog IM so it's in out within 2-3 hours.

So if you pin slin IM it's in and out faster?

Yes! Most charts you see are for sub q injection and IM is faster. Be careful though as it can hit you quick if you're not prepared.

Looks like almost 25-50% faster in numerous write ups.. I take my carb drink with me to the gym for this reason you never know what can happen...

As long as you have some high GI carbs ready then I say you give IM a shot (no pun intended). Be aware that you can still go hypo after your carb drink especially if you're highly active so always have glucose tabs or a fast carb ready.
