Never experimented with Insulin before in my 36yrs of training. I'm currently on Test-E/Mast-E/NPP and 10iu of HGH pre-bed daily.

My intra-workout shake is 50g of Gatorade powder, 20g EAA's, 10g Creatine and about 2g of Celtic Salt. About 24oz of fluid and I start sipping right before my 1st set and finish it on my last set. Training is about 90 minutes. I'd be utilizing Insulin 3x week pre-workout. My PWO meal is roughly 50 minutes after the end of my workout which consists of close to 100g carbs.

I have Lispro Insulin. How many units would be recommended about 15 minutes prior to training? I see insulin/carb protocols of 1u per 10g carbs up to 2u per 10g carbs.
 
Wasn't able to edit the above post in time.

Should I move some of the HGH pre-workout if I'm going to incorporate Insulin pre-workout?
 
Might find some hesitancy in responses with how YOU should utilize insulin. People f it up all the time by even not knowing how to measure it. lol for a first-time user I always have them take a pic of the dose required and you would be shocked with what I see. lol

I will let others chime in.
 
I’ll just recommend you dial in how you respond to insulin first. Start with post workout and go from there. I’d even start with less then 1iu for 10g of carbs and check your glucose level 1 hour later and then again 2 hours later before your next meal and adjust your dose accordingly. I would not start with preworkout until you find out how your body reacts first.

This! Dont EVER start insulin preworkout. You have no clue how youll respond and lifting heavy shit over your head is a bad time to go hypo. Start post workout for a week and monitor bg for 4 hours post injection. Have glucose tablets on your person, not nearby, on you. Once you see how you respond then you can try preworkout. Atm, closing up this growth phase, im 3iu in the morning and 5-7iu preworkout(humalog). I use 15-20 grams of carb powder per iu in my intraworkout shake along with eaa's and creatine(w glucose tabs on standby) and yes I hit 3iu of gh 1 hour preworkout and 4iu post workout pre-bed. Workouts are in the pm. Also grab some .5ml u-100 syringes. The smaller body and more detailed hash marks make it much easier to accurately measure the tiny amounts you need. The amounts will look like its a ridiculously small volume. Don't be fooled its supposed to. And avoid high fat meals during the insulins active window and immediately following. Allll of this is just my opinion and how I do it. Everyone's opinion is going to differ but this works for me.
 
Start with post workout when you're home 1st. See how you respond. 5-7 units
