Bulking and Insulin

[dcphysique]

I am confused about how to incorporate insulin in bulking cycle.


At 220 pounds

don’t know how much (dosing at 220 lb) and what analog to use post workout, Should this been run in a short 4 week stint 1 week pending start of gear to kick of mass accumulation?

Humalin R is prefered correct? Do to its fast acting nature


Input is appreciated,

Intresting

That clears up the timing for me. PWO 10min prior to meal HUM R, but I still am ignorant on the dosing and am aware of the dangers of overdosing.

Does anyone have knowlege on dosing?

I’ve decided to go with Humalog, it's better for short spike. Any help on safe place to obtain for U.S. res who have lost their 'prescriptions', rather get some local than from Canada.

Appreciate input,

PM me if appropriate

I'm a Type I diabetic and use take up to 8 shots a day of Humalog and have great results from it controling blood sugar and boosting weight gains. Like already mentioned playing with insulin is like playing with a loaded gun so make sure you know what you are doing before you try it otherwise make sure your life insurance is paid up to date. This will help give you a idea on dosing say for instance my blood sugar is 100 and I plan to drink a Gatorade for a pre-workout drink. I have to take into consideration that excercise will lower my blood sugar so figure in the amount of carbs in a drink, say 50 for example, I will take 4 units of Humalog to cover the extra carbs. This is based on a U-100 syringe. With your body making its own insulin you should be safe with the same dose since your body will not make extra as long as your blood sugar stays close to 80. I've had guys asking me how many cc's of insulin they should take and I have to give them a quick lesson on how this stuff works. It does not take a huge dose of insulin to get the job done instead a very small amount works like a charm. With Humalog it starts working in 15 minutes then peaks in 30 and out of your system in 1 hour unlike Humlin R that starts working in 30 minutes peaks in 1 hour and out of your system in 2 hours.

I strongly reccommend you keep something like a Gatorade with you the entire time you are working out with Humalog in your system and let your gym partner know what you are taking just in case because your life could depend on it.
