How to gain and maintain huge muscle mass in bodybuilding? All the details and secrets of taking insulin from the pros of the iron world. Insulin is very effective but also dangerous for gaining muscle mass or losing weight. At the same time, for drying, it is used exclusively by professionals and amateurs should not repeat their courses. Today we will talk about the course of insulin in bodybuilding for gaining mass together and the use of steroids and growth hormone.
It should be said right away that solo insulin in sports is ineffective and must be combined with somatotropin. But if you decide to use these drugs, then there is no point in giving up AAC. In general, a few words must be said about the effective use of all drugs that are related to doping. To begin with, you must naturally work your way up to your genetic muscle development. When you can work with working weights of 160-180% of your own weight in the bench or squat with 200% excess of your own body weight, then you have already approached the genetic threshold.
After that, you need to start with solo courses of Methandrostenolone, Oxandrolone or Turinabol. When solo courses lose their effectiveness, switch to combined courses, gradually increasing the dosage. And only when all the resources and possibilities of anabolic steroids are exhausted, you can think about the use of growth hormone and insulin.
Insulin characteristics
In the body, insulin acts as a transport, delivering nutrients to tissue cells. For athletes, the anabolic properties of the drug are more important:
- Acceleration of the consumption of amino acid compounds by cells;
- Activation of enzymes involved in glycolysis;
- Increased DNA replication, etc.
In addition, one should remember about the catabolic properties of insulin, for example, slowing down the processes of utilization of fats. Simply put, insulin accelerates muscle gain and at the same time prevents lipolysis. People who are obese can gain large amounts of fat mass without proper administration of their insulin cycle.
There are drugs for various periods of action on the body, and athletes use only a short or ultrashort hormone. This is due to the fact that athletes can control the onset of insulin effects on the body and its duration only by using these types of drugs.
The effect of short insulin begins half an hour after administration, and lasts about 8 hours. The ultra-short drug begins to work in 5-15 minutes and has an effect on the body for about 3-5 hours.
How should bodybuilders take insulin?
You should take insulin at a specific time. For this reason, an appropriate dietary nutrition program is indispensable. However, you should not eat less food, on the contrary, eat as to gain muscle mass, but the diet should be permanent. While you are using insulin, you need to eat at the same time, eating the same food. This is the only way to determine the effective dosage of the hormone.
Start with small dosages, from 3 to 5 IU. Then you need to wait for the onset of mild hypoglycemia, the main signs of which are drowsiness, fatigue and hunger. After that, it is necessary to reduce the previous dosage by 2 UNITS. if after the first dose of the drug hypoglycemia does not occur, then increase the dose by the same 2 units.
The approximate dose of insulin during the day is from 5 to 20 units, divided into 2-4 doses. Also, you should always have a drink near you throughout the entire cycle of using the drug to stop hypoglycemia. You can buy it at pharmacies or prepare it yourself. In the latter case, the following formula must be used: 1 gram of glucose per kilogram of body weight, 0.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, 20 grams of glutamine, 5 grams of creatine per liter of water.
You will also need a blood glucose meter to monitor your blood sugar. If you use growth hormone in conjunction with insulin, then monitoring blood glucose is also necessary. In this case, you should inject growth hormone and measure your blood sugar before eating. It should not exceed 5 mmol. Then it is necessary to maintain insulin at the rate of 5 units, to which it is necessary to add another 1 unit for each extra mmol obtained after using growth hormone. All of the above dosages apply to a 40 IU insulin syringe. This is a very important note, as insulin is very dangerous if the dose is exceeded.
There is a lot of controversy about the need to use insulin on weekends. However, this is not quite the correct formulation of the question. If you are using growth hormone, steroids and insulin at the same time, then you need daily training, and preferably twice a day.
Another popular question is when the drug is administered: before the start of the session, during the session, or at the end. In each of the cases voiced, you will receive certain dividends from insulin.
Another thing is that when insulin is injected during training, it is necessary to use a gainer at the same time. If you want to conduct a joint course with growth hormone, then the drugs should be taken together.
It's time to summarize and highlight the most important points in the use of insulin by athletes. Use a special insulin syringe, and the dosage of the drug is from 5 to 20 units when taken 2 to 4 times during the day.
You need to adhere to a diet during the cycle, as well as take growth hormone and steroids. It is very important to start using the drug with a low dosage of 3 to 5 U, and gradually increase them until the effective dose is determined. Monitor your blood sugar to keep it from dropping below the 3 mmol mark.
