i just ordered some humalog. I have never used insulin before, and was wondering how much is good to start out with? I weigh 300 pounds and to the best of my knowledge have no diabetic problems.
Also does it matter where you inject? Do you shoot sub q or intra to the muscle worked? Thanks a lot guys.

Well, to answer your question, I always shoot IM to get it working a bit faster since I use Humulin-R. I know people do this too with humalog, but you could go sub Q too. As far as shooting it into the muscle worked, that wont do a thing. I always shoot into my biceps since the skin is really thin there. I hope you have done lots of research on how to use it right. Its not something to use if you dont know what youre doing. 300 pounds sounds pretty heavy, whats your %bf at you think? If youre not careful it might make you fatter than you are now. It will make you retain more water.

BF %

i would guesstimate it to be somewhere between 15 and 18 percent. I feel like i have researched as well as i can, most people on the board seem to be doing 10 iu's pwo, should i go that high to start or go a little lower?

Really need to start at 2IU and make sure you take in enough dextrose or some kind of simple sugar. The general rule they use is 10g dex/IU. You can gradually work your way up to higher doses, keep increasing the dex. Make sure you eat right after the injections too. Hope you have researched up on this. Nothing to fool around with. I now use 15 IU PWO, with 5g dex/IU and Im fine, but everone is different. Its better to be conservative and use the 10 g/IU rule until you know how you react. The idea is to take in enough carbs to keep from going hypo, and yet not take in too much that it ends up getting stored as bodyfat.

have you noticed big gains since adding the slin? I have been lifting for twelve years, most of that time was natural, i am 35 now and on hrt although i use a blast and cruise method of drug use.
Right now i am running cyp and trenbolone acetate with 50 mcg t3 a day to keep my appetite up ( i really dont get hungry that often otherwise).
I have used gh a few times but thought slin might be a more affordable way to gain some more mass.

I would in noway say big gains, but it helps greatly in recovery. I feel that I heal a bit faster and feel like I can train harder while using the slin. There is a weight gain of about 5-10 lbs while using it, but a lot of that goes away when you get off. Id say that most of that is just water. I think its really worth it since its so darn cheap to purchase. I use humulin-R now. Used humalog once but I cant get it through customs now, and humulin you can buy here in the US with no prescription. Humulin-R works real well for me too.
Btw im 38 yrs old and have been lifting for over 20 yrs, so im comparable to you in some ways.
