Another slin question

[gulfcoast]

Is slin dose dependent in a linear way similar to AAS?

I've ran slin for several years in various protocols and to be honest I cannot tell any difference between 10, 15 or 20iu of say Hum R being used pre WO.

We know 1gm of test EW normally provides better results than 500mg but is the same true in general with slin? More is better or not necessarily?

This is a somewhat difficult to answer question. If you overdose insulin, it'll lead to side effects if your carbs don't cover your dose. If you take more carbs to cover your dose, you're likely to store fat. Your slin needs to cover the intra-workout and preworkout carbs without overshooting.

The more insulin you take, as long as it's covering your carbs without causing side effects, the better. However, if you notice that you can take a bunch of insulin and not get sides, while taking an abnormally small amount of carbs, you're insulin sensitivity is probably crap.

I'm sure somebody can explain it in more detail and with more science thrown in, but that's the general idea. I haven't seen too many people using more than 20-25iu pre-workout, and we're talking about SHW's, so you probably can't use that many carbs throughout training to justify 20iu+. People like Jay and Big Ramy are of course exceptions, but in general.

Yeah I've done lots of reading and it's definitely difficult to answer and has lots of variables.

I understand the whole fit ur dose to ur carbs not the reverse but if 10iu does the same job as 20iu then it seems to reason that taking the smaller amount would be healthier in the log run.

I'm 270 at about 10% BF (but tall) so gaining a little fat isn't a huge concern.
