    the key is to be able to eat at least 40g of carbs every couple of hours. By feeding yourself a steady supply of carbs all day you don't really have a lot of peaks and valleys.
    also, by running higher dosages of slin throughout the day it increases your appetite quite a bit. so really every hour or so I'm craving some carbs.

    I did go hypo once with this strategy. and that was during a workout. the problem was I was still taking the exact same amount of intra workout nutrition that I always take. I forget that even though my pre workout insulin dosage was the same as I've done for years, that I had injected insulin a couple other times already earlier that day. so now I simply run double the amount of carbs in my intra workout drink.
    Thanks!!! I guess I’ll wait until after my competition.
    When is your comp??

    you could implement the strategy on your re-feed days now

    comp in may, June, and then October . haven't committed yet. depending on my progress I may end up shooting for October (as I'm still trying to put on the size). had a client doing June and had originally thought about doing that with him, but he has kinda fallen off the bandwagon (he just had a kid)

    I found that if I wait for my progress, I will never compete because I am never satisfied. LOL

    How much do you take and how often with the R?
    I may try it on leg day..... my weak point.

    yeah I hear ya. by nature we are probably always going to feel we could always be bigger.

    I'll take 5-10iu of slin first thing in the morning with meal 1 . another 10iu late morning with meal 2 or 3. 10iu pre workout. and 15iu post workout.

    if you do try it on leg day, then its probably a good thing you train in the morning. cause running slin thoughout the day can cause some lethargy.
    thats what I'm struggling with now with my evening workouts

    How would someone new to insulin figure out how much they need to take? (Other then walking up post-collapse and saying, "well shit, that was to much"). For example, do you eat a bunch of carbs, take a hit of slin, and use a glucometer?

    In other words, how to you start safely?

    (I'm sorry of you've answered this somewhere already, if you have i can go search it out).

    I truly appreciate the knowledge you drop around this place.

    I am currently at mcdonalds soaked in sweat. I just had 10iu kick my ass.

    When you go hypo you will know it.
    You keep fast acting carbs on hand always and map your blood at least until you know how you react.
    Start low and go slow.

    Lol, glad you're okay! That's exactly what I'd like to avoid. Especially the being at McDonald's part... But those damn double quarter pounders

    Isn’t the rule of thumb somewhere around 10g carbs per unit of insulin?

    UPDATE -

    So as excepted . the initial gram of Tren and 2 grams of test kicking in and making me feel like shit and on edge and totally unable to sleep has simply now become my new normal. I'm getting accustomed to it. I'll just live, eat, train, work , etc. and do all that I need to do , doesn't matter how I feel or not.
    when it first hits you, you second guess your self and question wither or not you want to go through with feeling uncomfortable like this or not. but then a few days pass and your used to it.

    so now fuck it, its all about the gains !!

    The 'Tren Stregth' is kicking in. on my press day I incline hammer strength pressed 5 plates per side and that didn't phase me (haven't went that heavy in awhile) . overhead press 205 for very very strict form (all on my delts) and repped it out for multiple sets of 8-10. hit some arms and hammer curled 90lb dumbbells for sets of 12.

    this is why I don't run Tren for longer then 6-8 weeks or so. getting amped up and a lot stronger is great, but it can only last for a short phase. otherwise I feel your going to just wreck yourself always pushing heavier and heavier weight.

    but I'll take it for now.
    the only time I feel good and normal is the 2-3 hours I'm in the gym. so feeling strong is a big bonus right now
