Hey everybody, Im a newbie here but not to the game. Im 30 years old and ready to get back into competing after a 6 year break. I just wanted some opinions and info on insulin. Ive used it in the past but was never quite sure of the best method. Im currently in between cycles and was wondering if I should do an insulin cycle before my next one begins.
If you PM me, I can reccomend a couple of other resource sites. I have read extensively about insulin and the take aways are:
- Keep the cycles short like 21 days max w/ a minimum of 30 days between.
- Start slow, say 5 ius and work your way up to 10 or so.
- Growth Hormone is a perfect compliment to insulin
- Be prepared w/ glucose tabs or some other quick carb
Good luck…
I would read as much as you can about it. There several protocols and ideas and I’m not sure if one is the best. I like some of Author L Rea’s ideas from Building the Perfect Beast, of using Insulin with GH and/or IGF-1 and T3 between cycles, but it also works very well with gear.
I would recommend buying a glucose meter and testing your blood sugar at various times before you start so you know what your body is like naturally. Also test while using insulin so you can spot any worrysome trends. Start with something like 4-6iu post workout, see what happens and how you like it, and go from there.
