IMPROPER USE OF INSULIN CAN KILL YOU, Pay Attention to what I have to say and ask questions before attempting to use it.
So i have a buddy who got into lifting about 6 months ago. Note that he is a Type 1 Diabetic (Insulin Dependent)
In the 6 months he has been lifting, i can easily say his results surpassed many people i have seen that have been at it for 2+ years.
Does this boy have superman genetics? No.
The answer is Insulin.
The majority of people produce about 25-31 IU's of insulin daily.
However, my buddy injects 20 Iu's of Insulin 3 times daily. Before breakfast, Before Lunch, and before dinner.
This is about double what the regular insulin production is in the human body.
Now getting into what Insulin does and how it benefits muscle growth.
Insulin is a hormone that shuttles nutrients wherever they need to go within the body. Now as you can imagine taking in an exogenous form of it
will produce results far better than what the body is capable of doing by itself.
This means elevated protein synthesis, he is able to absorb 20-30% more of the protein he eats, and the carbs he consumes are processed more effeciently
for things like glycogenesis, rather than being stored as fat. This is why insulin users report incredible pumps while being "on" because your muscles are literally filled with glycogen and there is just soo much bloodflow/nutrients going to the muscle.
Benefits: Faster recovery due to elevated protein synthesis, more efficiently processed carbohydrates. Gnarly workouts due to the amazing pump.
How to use:
Basically there are 2 types of Insulin you'd wanna consider for your muscle growth goals.
Humalog, and Humilin-R.
I'm not even going to get into Humalog because it is not easily obtained. However with Humilin-R you can go to any pharmacy and ask or it and they
legally have to sell it to you, no questions asked. It's about $30 at Wal-Mart for the generic kind. (novolin-r)
Precautions:
Humilin-R is active in your body for 4-6 hours, meaning you wanna keep a steady stream of carbs in your system for the time being.
Basic rule of thumb is consume 10g's of carbohydrate for every Unit of Insulin injected. This is, in my opinion overly exaggerated because of the Hyperglycemia scare. I'd say 5-7 grams of carbs per IU is PLENTY.
Avoid Injecting pre-workout due to possible hypo symptoms occurring during your workout.
Start with 5 Iu's and work your way up to 10-15 Iu's split into 2 injections for the day.
Keep in mind you are still producing your own insulin so you don't wanna over-do it.
Be careful and always keep some sort of soda or juice on you if you start feeling symptoms of hypo.
Goodluck everybody, happy gains.:amish:
