Who here uses insulin pre workout?

I have tried it many times. I made sure to eat about 3/4 - a cup of oatmeal and a little brown sugar 1.5 hours before the gym. This helped from getting an insulin reaction half way through the work-out. I would take the insulin 45 minutes before the work-out (7 i.u.) then, 7 i.u. after the work-out. DO NOT miss your carb consumption...if you do you will become very dizzy and sweaty. If this happens, get simple carbs into the system IMMEDIATELY. Figure out the dose you need dependent on your body size. I got great pumps from this, but having a reaction during a work-out is no fun at all.

once I injected humalog 15 minutes before ending my workout, but after 5 minutes I started to get serious hypo. Fortunately I had loads of glucose with me and that saved me. I must have sweat 2 liters, because I was soaking. I think I hit a blood vessel or something with the SC shot.
Be careful bro!

are you guys feeling alright?
your using insulin - which will slurp up all the nutrients/fule from your bloodstream - just before you train, which is when you need those same nutrients? risking a diabetic coma (because the insulin taking away glucose, plus burning remaining glucose via oxidation will tag team your available glucose) and blowing away your exercise intensity?

Actually, if you do it right and take in enough carbs it should have the opposite effect much like what 21gun described. If you can pack your muscles with glycogen right before you workout, you should get a better workout with better pumps because the muscle is gonna have more fuel to use.

true enough
still risky for your brain though, since preloaded carbs wont be stored in your brain
i see disaster for some people doing this

If you load carbs properly, there is negligible risk bros. The danger comes from insufficient research and lack of vigilance in loading, along with boneheaded dosing errors from guys who can't master the I.U. I'm not trying to downplay the possible dangers, b/c when it goes wrong it can really go wrong, but if you load carbs, double check your dosing and keep a high sugar drink (apple juice) near you just incase, I don't see how its such a risk. I prefer to shoot towards the end of my workout, but thats a personal preference. I think the question should be whether you feel the gains in nutrient absorbtion and anabolic environment outweigh your individual tendencies to fat accumulation. If you research and do things by the book it really is a very managable risk in my opinion. If you're an idiot who tends to make boneheaded f-ups, perhaps you should look to a more forgiving enhancement tool.

What's your basis behind that statement? Whether they use insulin or not, most people will take in some sort of carbs before their workout. There was even a thread the other week about people drinking carbs during their workout. So whats the purpose of doing all this? Obviously to fuel their muscles during the workout. Why would you take carbs pre workout and post workout, but only use slin post workout? If you have to use slin to get your insulin levels high enough to replinish you post workout (which many people dont) then what makes you think you wouldn't benefit from using it pre workout when taking in carbs is just as important?
Of course using slin pre workout is not for everyone. If you dont know what you're doing it could really be disasterous.

the limited research i conducted on insulin leads me to stay away from it..
besides, as a hobbyist bb'er (as opposed to somebody who gets paid to stay in shape) the use of insulin is unjustified. IMO.

i would still like to know what people are looking to get out of taking the slin pre workout. obviously its dangerous but at the same time that can easily be taken care of by someone with intelligence/experience. I just dont see what people are looking to get/gain by taking it pre workout? strength? mass? recovery? pumps? just curious

All of the above. You pack the muscle with more carbs before the workout, so you have more fuel for your workout. Which means more energy to push the heavy weights, which in turn brings more strength, which ultimately leads to more size. When trying to build muscle, you obviously want to prevent the breakdown of nutrients from your muscles at all cost because that puts you in a catabolic state. The time when the most nutrients are taken from your muscle is during your workout, so keeping the muscle full and packed with nutrients during this time makes you that much more anabolic.

NP Bro, i'm gonna be running slin pwo and once i feel comfortable enough with it i'll give preworkout a shot to see if i notice the boost from it
I always though that people were crazy to run it preworkout, but i notice a lot of people just slurp gatorade or something similar during their workout to stay awake lol

I dont get why people drink gatorade. I mean it's not cheap and it's only like 14g of carbs per serving. Kinda like drinking water.Mikus said:NP Bro, i'm gonna be running slin pwo and once i feel comfortable enough with it i'll give preworkout a shot to see if i notice the boost from it

cmon now..
its for that deep down body thirst....
the reason why it is 'low' in carbs is because if it was super saturated with sugar it would not be absorbed and utilized as quickly by the body.
kinda like your pre/during protein should not contatin a ton of protein but instead be pretty diluted so it will be absorbed and enter the blood stream faster

I dont see why you say that. Do you use slin? Have you ever used it pre workout? You sound like the media talking shit about steroids, when they never even done them. I do preworkout slin and I've never had trouble. I mean, how hard is it to drink a bunch of carbs before workout and after? It's not rocket science.dogoftheday said:
