Has anyone every used - Humulin U??

[Little Rage]

Think i'm going to look into trying this: it is available to me, very cheap, and like the info regarding it.

* there is no peak.
* It starts working in about 8-12 hours, never peaks (that is, when it starts working you get the same amount available until it stops working)
* stays in the body up to 24 hours.
* the lack of a peak may mean less risk of a hypo.

Even if used with a short acting slin like humalog wouldn't this be better than mixing it with humulin-n?

I don't think there is any benefit to raise insulin levels for 24 hrs. This will be more insulin above and beyond what your body needs.
Never heard of people using the U for bb'ing.
Most frquently used are humlog and humulin R.

Actually a lot of the big boys use a combination of fast and slow insulins during bulking cycles. so far i've used humalog and humulin-r and was thinking about trying humulin-n. Ironmaster posted before how he liked using n when he wasn't on GH.

but yea like you said, i've never heard people using u for bb'ing. but from the looks of it, it seems like a good addition, but i could be wrong.

Yes, I like humulin-U and humulin 70/30 for bulking. It's also great with the timed release GH's I have been using.............and there is no spike at all. You do need to pay attention to keeping carb intake up throughout the day, but I eat all the time anyway. In my gallery there is a pic showing the difference in appearance with and without insulin.....that was 70-30 I believe.
Humulin-N is somewhere in the middle btween the fast and slow insulins if a guy wanted to try out something different. It does have a little spike to it.

I posted this graph on your other insulin thread also.

thanks ironmaster, i've been waiting for you to respond

I've always been under the impression that a first time insulin user is best off with humalog... is that not right, ironmaster?

The problem with raising insulin throughout the day is that you'll have to watch your fat intake like a hawk basically the whole day.

well for the everyday "joe" they say faster action is better.

yea i've ran both humalog and humulin-r, and wanted to try a longer-acting slin, like n. But i like how U doesn't have a spike.

Chief........I agree that first time users may be better off with Humalog to the extent that it is easier to time nutrients with such a short half-life. However, they can also get in trouble with that super fast onset if they aren't prepared with proper carbs for immediate intake.
Fast insulins are great with your daily GH, while slow insulin with steroids yields the best size gains.
Neither should be used by recreational lifters. And every user should start with tiny doses and pyramid up very slowly.
