New to this board. Stopped over from PM- very nice thread here. This has def re-peaked my interest on slin use. I also went back and re-listened to the Collette Nelson interview w/ Palumbo (link below) discussing long acting insulin.
Being that I don't compete and push things too hard. The 3 protocols below is what I have toyed with in the past.
1) Humulin R 8iu w/ meal 1, 6iu w/ meal 3
*This is kind of the old school Palumbo method. Def worked for putting on size but I also got fatter on it as I was pushing the carbs/cals quite high. Weight during the times I did this method was a soft 265-285
2) Log 10iu 15 min Preworkout
* This seems pretty standard these days. I have only done this protocol when I have been under 8% body fat. At this body fat with the proper diet and cardio, I stayed lean and the log def made me fuller. Normally for carbs on this I'll do 60g about 90min pre workout, 75 HBCD w/ 40 EEA Intra workout, 10 glut, and then 60-80 carbs post workout. Never had any issues going hypo.
3) This protocol below seemed to be the most "magical" for me. I have only done it once due to the difficulty with work schedule doing fasted cardio and then 2 weight sessions during the day.
Training Session 1:
10iu Log Post workout:
75g whey iso
70g HBCD
30 min after post workout shake:
5 oz chicken breast 40g Pro
2 bagels 100g Carbs
Training Session 2:
5iu Log Pre Workout
75g HBCD
40g EEA
Immediately after training:
10iu Log
50g whey iso
155g carbs from Quaker Oatmeal squares.
* The above protocol I did for 4 weeks and took me from 6-1 lean 235 to 247 and just as lean but super full and round (3D looking.)
