first insulin cycle

[CAswole]

So after you took a shot what would your meals look like?

I took the shot at the gym immediately following my workout so I'd already have a shake right there. Then I'd get home and an hour later I'd have 6 eggs 4 pieces of wheat toast and a big glass of whole milk.

You can leave a kwikpen in your bag right?

@CAswole , if you do it again, will you try a fast acting version? I think you'd like the convenience of it.

How's it workin out for you wunder? Starting tomorrow after I lift, gonna pick up some glucose tabs and maybe honey/Mike and Ike's

Also question for everyone, should I take my orals after humalog injection?

Start small and slow buddy, like 2-3 iu

I may. Id have to find a reliable source for it since the only one over the counter is the Humulin-R. Honestly i didn't find it very inconvenient. Though I'm sure the pen is quicker and easier.

I don't think it would matter. May want to spead it out if u can cuz that might be alot going on at once but in my opinion i don't think it'll make a difference. What oral u taking?

I would time them all based on how quickly they will be absorbed. Humalog being 15-30 minutes I would take it right before lifting, if you want the insulin to effect your lifts. For post workout, take it right after lifting.

Most orals are about 45 minutes before. No problem with stacking them IMO.

Taking 100mgs of drol at the moment. Looking at the manufacturers page and it's a little confusing. Looks like once the kwik pens been used you don't refrigerate it

I still do.

Mind if I ask what your meals look like post injection? Would you advise taking my pen to the gym with me?

Pin Humalog
+5 minutes a shake of 10g's per IU carbs, 2 scoops of iForce Compete and pre workout
Intra workout a shake of 10g's per IU carbs & 2 scoops of iForce Compete
Post workout a bowl from chipotle w/ white rice, chicken, steak and salsa.

You can take the pin, just keep it in a little lunchbox if you want. Or, preload pins (you can preload them from the pen) and take with you. If your gym is close, just pin and drink your 1st shake on the way. The slin is active for 1-3 hours. 10 minutes off won't hurt.

Any difference if I use it exclusive post wo? Too green to use it pre

Never done it post, not sure why you think the risk is more severe pre?

I do it pre because I train later in the day. I don't want any slin in my system before bed.

It was my understanding that you're more inclined to go hypo while working out. Would days like that be no cardio allowed?

 

[Serpent]

And I thought one was supposed to avoid dietary fat all together

I just avoid fat 3 hours post pin.

I suppose the exertion can make it more likely to go hypo, but that's why I sip on my carbs the whole time. I'm not pinning some crazy amount, either.

Lastly, I think doing cardio and pinning insulin would be counterproductive. Do cardio on your non-slin days.

I still believe running slin without GH is a waste of time... But, I could be wrong.
