Insulin on/off cycling during long term GH cycle?

[Myck]

Unless I've overlooked it, I don't think I've ever seen this particular subject addressed here. I'm curious to see how those doing long term (6+ months) GH/slin cycles are cycling their insulin usage on and off.

In my particular case, I'm 4 months into an 8-10 month GH cycle (10 IU PW 3x weekly), along w/ 600-800 mg Test E and Superdrol. I'm using Humalog for 6 weeks on, 4 weeks off at 8-10 IU PW 3x weekly throughout the cycle.

The difference in pumps, general fullness, and overall appearance is dramatic when I'm doing insulin.

For those using GH/slin, are you coming off the slin at anytime during your cycle? If I was doing slin daily, I know it's absolutely necessary to have off cycles, but using it only 3x weekly, do I still need to take 4 week off cycles in the context of the longer GH cycle?

Do not use slin daily. It lowers your insulin sensitivity.

Agreed. I only use it 3x weekly (M-W-F) post-workout. I'm curious if those using insulin in a similar fashion are taking off cycles during a long GH cycle, or using slin straight through.

Im running slin M/T/TH/FR (training days only) humulin R mornings humalog post workout.

5 weeks on 1 week off completely

^ aren't you afraid of becoming diabetic running insulin that often for so long???

I don't understand it honestly...I considered the idea...but then realized its a bad idea...maybe you are different from me...but I get insanely pumped from 60g dextrose...huge insulin spike from my own pancreas.

I'm also curious about this, I'm using 8iu of Humalog PWO, 6 days/week, 1 day off. Do I need to cycle off even at this low of dose? I'm doing a 6month GH cycle of 5iu/day (2iu AM, 3iu PWO), 6 days/week. I was planning on running the Humalog for the entire time. Any suggestions much appreciated!

honest question: what do you get off the insulin that youdon't get when not using it?

If you have a healthy pancreas do you think your own insulin is sufficient to take up those nutrients?

Your muscles look fuller and rounder on slin. Also, slin transports nutrients, especially glucose very efficiently.

6 months of slin straight wouldn't be a good idea. It will obviously suppress your pancreas from producing natty insulin during that time. Now I'm not going to say that it will completely shut down natty insulin production but it is possible(slim chance). Your body would also become extremely insulin resistant which is a bad for bbing. It would be best to give your body a break from insulin after 8 weeks of slin use.
