Post Workout "Slin" Shake

[Kev]

What do you include in your shakes after administering insulin? I mean, besides carbs, proteins, beta alanine etc. Are there any specific amino-acids (or whatever) that you like to have when slin is active?

I'm old skool....banana, oats, whey isolate and concentrate. Eat a meal when I get home with steak, nuts and rice. I've tried aminos and the karbo load stuff. I didn't see any significant difference.

That's interesting. My wheels have just been turning lately. "What do my muscles need in them so bad, that would justify me going out and buying it?"

Maybe some injectable carnitine?

I do my slin preWO and lately been using cytos monster mass... good blend of carbs protein and mct's with added aminos just add my bulk creatine mono to each and gtg... working well so far with mike Arnold's 3 shake protocol and 10-15ius of hum-r

1 tub lasts about a week and got a good deal on 3 tubs so will see how week 2 goes before ordering more

That will only help burn fat your muscles don't neccesarily need l carnitine

Funny you should mention that. But it's on my list.

Good thread, I always like them.

I didn't see this thread, I started a similiar one in the main forum.

Yeah I was buying creatine,glutamine,BCAA,ECAA,arginine and cyto-carb from gnc every week. Switched to just gatorade powder and a basic protein powder and dont notice any difference, the pumps are actually better with the gatorade powder than with the cyto-carb.

That's not shocking. I think gatorade powder is glucose based.

But I don't do carbs with the insulin. So far just protein, leucine, beta alanine. At some point I'll have a protein shake with raw veggies blended in. Perhaps with added flax.

How do you not do carbs with your insulin? How do you avoid going hypo?

How many ius are you doing? I find it hard to believe that you don't add carbs after pinning slin unless you're only doing 2ius.

 

[Kev]

A low dose takes my blood sugar down into the 60s. Not a huge deal, no symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Low 60's is fine. 1-2ius pwo isn't going to drop your bgl too much. I thought you were doing 10-20ius and not taking in any carbs.

Hah! Nope, no suicidal tendencies over here.

So far just protein, leucine, beta alanine.

How much Leucine & Beta Alanine are you adding to your slin shake?
