Insulin - pre or post preference

[BDog99]

I’ve ran one cycle of humalog working up to 10iu for 6 weeks duration, and was just curious what the consensus is with using pre or post regarding hypertrophy benefits.

Currently on 8ius of hgh and 500mg of test E, 400mg primo E and 1.5mg Reta per week.

I ran my last cycle of humalog pre and had good results and insane pumps; however, I was curious if the insulin would be more benefical running post?

Will be starting with 7iu humalog. Shake consists of 70g Karbolyn, 7.5g creatine, glycerol mono, glutamine, BCAA’s, Leucine, and 72g whey protein.

Would appreciate any recommendations from those who have ran humalog.

Also,
Nutrition/training/rest are on point so no concerns there. Get regular bloodwork, monitor BP and BG.

Not a fan of slin but I did both pre and post at 5iu each in the past. Definitely noticed size pack on. Pairing it with post GH also gave it an added bonus for me.

How does your Homa and hba1c look like without and with the insulin when on higher doses of GH?

Pre cycle bloods were close to the same as 12 weeks in. Hematocrit was 45%, hba1c was 4.9%. fasted BG was 75 so that is trending up.

I did notice a change in fasted and daily BG readings trending high after pushing up to 8iu of GH. The increase was negligible from 2-4iu but more pronounced from 4-8iu. I titrated up starting from 2iu to 8iu, two weeks at each dose until I hit 8iu gh.

After my first course of slin my fasted BG was around 93 and that was towards the end. That’s when I incorporated Reta at 1.5mg per week. Also, at around 4 weeks I was pushing 10iu slin with 85g of carbs and that was putting my BG where it was at 100g of carbs a week earlier (BG around 75) that’s when I called it and came off to restore insulin sensitivity.



took bloods 12 weeks in. Hemoglobin - 16.4 g/dl, hematocrit - 48%, hba1c - 5.1%. Fasted BG 86. I drink about 6 liters of water per day with 25-30 min of liss shooting for HR of 120-130 x 5 per week.

All within threshold; although, trending on the higher side. Will take bloods again after my next 6 week course of slin and that will wrap up my cycle and then back to 150mg test per week split two doses.

Current supps/vitamins:
Magnesium glyc
Nattokinase
Coq10
B12
Psyllium husk
Fish oil
Red yeast rice
D3k2
Berberine
I’m probably forgetting a few.

I really liked the first cycle of slin. What didn’t you like about?
