First time user, have a couple questions
I have been considering taking the next step and running slin (Humulin-R) for a maximum of 4 weeks. I plan to start small with 2 iu and gradually taper up to 10iu. I have been doing as much research as I can before starting or even purchasing the slin. Before I go any further, I'm hoping someone can answer a few things for me.
1 - I know that Humulin-R is active 6-8 hours. I usually train around 5pm and like to be asleep by 10:30pm. I do not want to go to sleep while the slin is still active, so would it be ok for me to pin around 2:30pm? And then hit the gym at 5pm? Or do I need to pin immediately pre and/or post workout?
2 - Does any general drug store have slin? Honestly, I have not gone into any pharmacies looking for it just yet. Is it a standard item for them to carry or should I try somewhere specific? Looking for Humulin-R.
3 - Is 4 weeks long enough to develop permanent insulin resistance? Should I do a shorter cycle?
Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.

1. I always pin post-workout, then chug down my protein, creatine karbolyn, L-glutamine drink 15 minutes after pinning my slin.
Insulin is the 18-wheeler that hauls all of those elements into your muscles.
2. Walmart Pharmacy
3. I've run insulin for over four weeks before.

1. If you can try to get humalog, any fast acting slin for a few reasons. One, from personal experience, and this obviously could just be me, the first time a ran slin it was intermediated acting and the gains were good. The second time I ran slin it was humalog, fast acting and i really did notice a difference. Pumps and size. Second, humulin-r is active for 6-8 hours but I believe its peak activity time is 2-4 hours. It’s really annoying to make sure you have carbs on you or have taken enough when you have to wait 2-4 hours after injecting for peak activity time. So in other words fast acting is just easier.
2. I believe the only type that is available over the counter without prescription is the long acting one. I also believe there are sponsors on here that provide the fast acting insulin.
3. Ive ran insulin for longer than 4 weeks

From what I’ve gathered so far, Humulin-R is the next best thing to Humalog, it’s the fastest acting OTC slin available. I may have inaccurate info, but I thought it was the same as Humalog or at least close. I gotta keep researching lol but thanks for your input brother! This is exactly why I asked these things.

This shit is confusing as fuck! lol If I do decide to run slin I think I'm just gonna go with Humalog, instead of trying to get something "close". Seems to be more info out there on Humalog and it sounds like it's the easiest to use and time around workouts.

How long would a first time user run it for?
Also how much should a first time user use?
Does it interfere with HGH because if I go on slin I would be pinning it around the same time as my nighttime dose of HGH?
Is there anything to be couscous of?

Hgh with slin is good to help keep u from gaining fat.
Prime muscle put out a bit of slin knowledge & few other guys a few days ago, I believe it's in the Private Label Subforum.
It is in PL subforum it's called
"Let's talk about Insulin".

I'm with ya bro. WTF? I got some Humalog coming. 1st time user. I can't take in all this info. Will someone Please keep it as simple as possible and tell me when and how to run the stuff. I carbo cycle / carbo load every 4th day and do 50gm Glucose / Dextrose carb drink post workout 5x / week. Help! Thank you.

I ended up getting Humalog and it’s actually a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I’m on day 6. Started at 8iu pre workout and increased the dose daily (took Sunday off). I did 14iu preworkout this afternoon. The pumps aren’t as intense as what I thought it would be, but definitely putting on some size. I’ve been feeling pretty bloated so I think I need to adjust the carbs a bit more. I’ve definitely been lowering them but I’m running all kinds of other shit in my shake too. Haven’t gone hypo yet so I suppose I’m doing alright.
Mike Arnold’s Insulin Protocol really made it simple for me. I’ll post a screenshot of the shake ingredients. You can also google search Mike Arnold Insulin Protocol. Such a good explanation there. He has an updated version that is more suited towards Humulin-R users. The older version is for Humalog users like us.
