never used insulin but lantus is a 24hr insulin with no peak making it harder to go hypo on. long acting slin keeps you in an anabolic state all day making then the big daddies of slin. lantus has the ability to make someone fat fast but works of the sane receptors as igf i believe so can definitely wack some size on if diet is on point. id probably reccomend hgh with it too to help with fat accumulation.

If your diet is not spot on, it will make you fat. Stick with humulog.

Cool. So keep fat to a minimum.

yeah keep fat low and use either igf1 or HGH as insulin lowers igf binding protein which are like shbg but for igf instead of sex hormone. this basically means more igf can bind to the receptors in the muscle instead of being bound in blood and effectively innacive. i also believe lantus has other benefits to do with igf that other slin types dont but i cant remember exactly

We have only used HUMULIN R and HUMALOG

Fat stabilizes insulin.

Fat stabilizes insulin.

yeah it does, but insulin would promote fat storage from fat calories so id image youd want to limit fat intake to only the necessary efas?

That's where it gets tricky, where Lantus isn't really ideal for the bodybuilding world imo. It's hard to explain.. with something like Humulog, you can dictate your diet and your macros around when you take it. You can even do that with Humulin R.. but the longer lasting it is, the more strict you have to be. Ideally, we utilize slin at certain key times to benefit the most from it.

Now on the other side of the spectrum, there are guys that take a slin shot 6-8 times a day, before every meal, every workout, ect. Something like Lantus could be ideal for them. But those guys are also on 10+iu of HGH daily which changes everything completely.

I would say taking Lantus would have the same effect as constantly drinking a mountain dew throughout the day.
