Slin update - Week 1

[Coopie]

I began using 5iu Humulin R post workout last week. I therefore increased my carbs (which were "low" to begin with - about 100 g per day) by 50 grams to increase the efficiency of the Slin. My protein and fats intake remained the same, except that I eliminated all fats for the 6 hours after the Slin shot.

My weight went from 203 lbs to 207 lbs. This was nice since I'd been stuck at about 203 lbs for about 2 weeks. My muscles look fuller and I still have nice vascularity, but I do notice a decrease in my "cut" factor. A perfect example is my delts - at 203 lbs the striations were deep and very noticable. At 207 lbs I must actually flex to get the striations to show. Secondly - my lower abs were cut and vascular whereas now the veins have disapeared mostly.

I believe that the 4 lbs weight gain is mostly water weight. I even look a little "puffy". I never used Slin while trying to remain ripped, and I doubt it's useful for me at this point. It was worth a shot, but I'm not going to continue the Slin.

Water...

Yeah, I will say it is just water weight. Increasing your carbs didn't put that much fat on you in a week unless you were just reckless with your fat intake. Slin' did the same for me, and I loved it. It got me beyond that point where I wasn't gaining any more weight.

I am not loving it. 4 lbs of water makes a huge difference at low bodyfat levels. I feel like the friggin' Michelin Man!

I never found insulin to do anything without GH.

Well, I did 45 minutes of cardio on Saturday and Sunday (early AM, empty stomach) and I kept my diet tight. The extra 4 lbs dropped off by this morning. I knew it as soon as I woke up and went to pee and I saw that vein through my lower abs. Damage controlled!

I'll only run Slin for bulking. That's when it seems to help me most.
