Thread: First time user, have a couple questions

For example, using a U-100 insulin syringe lets say 5 ius of hgh you would draw back all the way to the 50 mark. This is 5 ius of hgh. However, 5 units of insulin would only be to the 5 small tick mark not even going pass the 10 mark on the syringe. It’s a very small amount. Sorry I just wanted to clarify that for anyone reading this. Also, jca925 you’re taking 8 units and have taken 14 units of slin and the pumps are not that good? This seems odd to me because the pumps are insane for me even on 6 units of slin and I’m a big guy. Have you thought about running growth with it brother the combo is nasty. I should be posting some updated picks and my cycle routine soon to show how I’ve gained about 20 solid pounds added this combo.

Thanks for adding that in! Seems people tend to get confused (myself included at first) with iu and slin. I’ve been so used to running peptides and such that I almost forgot 10iu on the syringe is actually 10iu!
Anyways, yes the pumps for me have not been what I was expecting at all. I’m thinking it may be from all all ingredients I’ve been adding to my shakes. I tend to feel bloated in my gut throughout my entire workout and after for a good hour or so. I am using all the “easy to digest” ingredients, but I believe my body is still allocating too much blood to my stomach rather than my muscles. Don’t get me wrong, I am still gaining weight and looking fuller even after just 1 week of use. Just not getting that skin-splitting pump I had imagined. I’ll keep an eye out for your progress pics, I’m interested to see what the slin has done for others.
Oh and I am also running mk677 at 25mg every morning. I will be adding ghrp-6 starting Monday. Regular GH doesn’t fit the budget right now so I’m hoping I’ll get close to the same effect with these secretagogues

Any specific reason you are using a shake with so much ingredients in it instead of something simple with fast acting carbs? Especially if its making you feel bloated?

My understanding is that the main benefit of insulin is its ability to shuttle nutrients to the muscles. So my shakes have been consisting of EAA’s, beta alanine, creatine, leucine, glutamine, GPLC, and glycerol monostearate in addition to the fast acting carbs. I had some hydrolyzed whey in there but had to dump that after the first 2 shakes. It was just too much lol.
Would carbs and insulin alone actually be beneficial? I mean, isn’t the point of the insulin to pack your muscles full of the additional nutrients?

I mean a short answer is yes. Carbs are still nutrients and the insulin is helping shuttle that into your muscles. I definitely love creating my own personal preworkout mix with insulin as well I guess. For you if you can somehow pinpoint what’s causing the bloat or that feeling of “this is to much” and cut that out it would be great. Defiantly do like your mix though.

I tried the carb-only shake today (with a Bang preworkout) and definitely had better results and far less bloating. I think I’ll add in something new each day until I found out what it is that’s causing the problem. Thanks again for the advice brother.

Anytime brother. And feel free to keep updating us if you keep adding stuff. It would be interesting to see if there is a specific ingredient that is causing the issue.

What I'm looking for here is Just a general principle. I'm not going to buy all those ingredients. The info is waaaaay too much for me. So I conclude that you need carbs in your system in order for insulin to work. The timing of which is all over the place so I'm going to stick to my carbo loading every 4th day, oatmeal, good bread, rice all day and my 50gm post workout carbo drink 5x/wk and just run the Humalog with the carbs at 1iu per 10g carbs. If that doesn't put the fat free non bloated pumped , jacked lean size on, I'll adjust accordingly.

1 unit = 1 iu.
IU = International Unit

So if you set your pen to 2 units and injected, you just did 2iu.
