I've only ever used Humulin-R in the past 2 times. Both times were for about 4-6 week durations. I felt it helped with recovery some, but I don't recall much size from those short runs....which obviously probably shouldn't be expected.
This was around 2005'ish. There were a couple of powerlifters and BB's who I MOD with over at AFboard who had insulin protocols given to them from Troponin, 10-20iu 3x per day. IIRC, they all used humulin-r and Humalog. I only ever used Humulin-R. Actually I did use it years prior as well, back around 2000'ish, to quicken my decent into ketosis while following a CKD. I was good board friends with Monster who posted his old Insulin Primer article over at Anabolex in the 90's. He loved insulin, and was a big ass dude.
Not sure where I am going with this post, but I've never used Lantus, but I am familiar with it from the clinics I am at. Many diabetics are prescribed it, and especially diabetic/GDM mom's who cannot control their fasting blood sugar values in the morning. A long acting insulin always made sense to me, but I never got around to trying it, and frankly, I didn't know if it would even make a difference from Humulin or Humalog. I guess I looked at it similar to Test Enanthate compared to propionate...does it even make a difference in the end? That said, I do like the fact that the onset isn't so strong that you have to stress on eating something, makes it much easier.
I'd be willing to try this shit out though. I have to get a few more projects done around the house before I selfishly return back to the gym
Thanks for posting all this CG!
My question to CG is this....Have you actually tried this protocol? I think you mentioned using either Humulin or Humalog on your other thread (correct me if I'm wrong though). Have you, yourself tried Lantus? How much did you actually gain from this?
