Is there any evidence insulin shuts down your pancreas ?

[rjl296]

any at all.
ive ehard somepeople say to avoid it because of this , but ive never seen any proof.
is there any ?

i doubt there is any solid evidance. maybe if you stay on it 12 hours a day or more. but even then i dont think it will do any damage.

For 100% there is a feedback, and you know what happens to your test..

Insulin IS NOT WORTH TRYING UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF.

You ALWAYS got as much INSULIN as you NEED (well, if you are ok)!
Too much, and thats easily made, and you are dead.... Dont know why some crazy people use it in bb.....

I think it is highly unlikely, unless you are using so much that you use more slin than you need, which would be rediculous dosages, especially while bulking (say > 100 IU). The comparison with test is not relevant, since you cannot manipulate your test demand and thus production by eating more.

IMO there is a solid place of slin in cycles for those who are serious about growth, and have the discipline and knowledge about proper diet along with the usage.

The only downsides to using insulin are fat storage and theoretical death, right? As far as muscle gain, it's excellent?

 

[alltraps]

its excellent if you run it for extended periods of time, like 8-10 hours a day. humalog is only active for about 4 hours, and peaks in 2. this alone will not illicit any significant gains. if you think about it, how much can you really grow in a few hours?

but if you do for extended periods, the growth will be there. now im not saying everyone should go out and get some humalin N. SLIN IS FOR EXPERIENCED USERS. not for newbies finishing their first cycle. dont kill yourseves,

I asked my doctor about taking insulin for bodybuilding. He said no only for the reason of going into hypo and dying. He didn't mention it shutting down pancreatic function. I have taken insulin, i saw good gains, especially with strength when i used creatine. If you do it right, and you are a very careful person, insulin can be managed. But if you are clumbsy, forgetfull, or dumb, insulin can have deadly consequences.

Limit your use of insulin to the fast acting stuff -- humalog -- better yet, don't f*ck with insulin at all!

 

[alltraps]

you would seriuously have to be an idiot to die from slin....unless you took your shot at the gym, drove home, got in an accident on the way home, trapped in a car, cant get to any glucose... moral of the story... dont shoot insuling at the gym!
