Important! We do not advocate for the use of steroids and other potent substances. All information is provided so that those who still decide to take them can do so with minimal health risks.

Typically, such articles begin with an explanation of what insulin is, how it is produced, and what effects it has in the human body. I won’t do that—every self-respecting athlete has basic knowledge of this essential hormone. And those who wish to delve deeper can easily use their favorite internet search engine. I can say one thing for sure: before interfering with your endocrine system using one of the synthetic analogs, it is VERY advisable to understand how the specific hormone works.

This information is not suitable for beginners who weigh ten kilograms more than the barbell they bench press. It is also not intended for those who are just getting acquainted with anabolic steroids and androgens.

So why is it needed at all? I will answer. This strategy is suitable for amateur-level athletes who are far beyond their genetic limits and find that just steroids and testosterone are no longer yielding the desired progress in volume and mass. I’ll let you in on a secret—this insulin therapy scheme can significantly push body weight in the right direction, with minimal health risks.

What makes insulin interesting to bodybuilders?

• Pronounced anabolic effect.
• Even more pronounced anti-catabolic effect.
• Supercompensation of glycogen, accelerated recovery, endurance, and work capacity.
• MONSTROUS appetite.
• Enhanced effects from AAS.

Several Rules for the Amateur

1. Use exclusively ultra-short-acting preparations.

2. Learn to recognize hypoglycemia (a state of sharp decline in blood sugar), during which the following symptoms may occur:

• sweating,
• tremors,
• rapid heartbeat,
• increasing hunger,
• blurry vision,
• d dryness of the mouth,
• dizziness,
• feelings of euphoria or irritability.

3. Light hypoglycemia is great. It indicates that the specific dosage is sufficient for that particular individual.

4. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to coma and DEATH, but it can only occur EXCLUSIVELY due to overdose.

5. Start with 4 IU per injection, increasing the dose by 2 IU each time until you feel hypoglycemia or reach the mark of 10 IU.

6. In our case, it is not advisable to inject more than 10 units.

7. Perform injections only with insulin syringes subcutaneously in the area below the navel.

8. Always use insulin in conjunction with AAS.

9. Counter hypoglycemia with the following cocktail: whey protein 50-60 grams and carbohydrates (dextrose or fructose) at a rate of 8-10 grams per 1 IU of injected insulin.

10. If hypoglycemia does not occur within 30 minutes after the injection, you should still consume the cocktail.

11. Strictly control your diet, only consume complex carbohydrates, maximum protein, and minimum fats.

12. Saturated (animal) fats and simple carbohydrates should be excluded when using insulin.

Administration Schedule

We wake up and, one hour after awakening, we make the injection. We wait 30 minutes and, if hypoglycemia does not occur sooner, we drink the cocktail. After that, the stomach opens up, and we eat and eat and eat. Just remember to focus on food quality. This particular meal (breakfast) is our breakthrough in weight. We will eat everything in sight and gain fat. Sometimes a lot. The body on insulin acts like a sponge, absorbing everything until the last calorie.

If injections are administered daily, the duration of the cycle is one month. If only on training days or rest days, then two months.

The break between cycles should equal the length of the cycle itself. Unfortunately, a maximum of three such cycles can be done before this scheme stops yielding the desired results. After that, one must either increase the dosages, increase the number of injections per day, or begin extreme schemes that involve injections immediately before and right after training. Sometimes even during it.

There is a scheme for intravenous administration of insulin along with an amino acid solution. All these methods work excellently. However, they are REALLY dangerous. Aside from the risks of hypoglycemic coma and obesity, using insulin can lead to pancreatic dysfunction and accumulation of visceral fat. This means that the proper use of this hormone on a large scale requires the oversight of an experienced specialist. And even that won’t guarantee 100% safety.

Insulin is contraindicated for athletes prone to being overweight and those committed to achieving a "ripped" physique—gaining fat and fluid while on this hormone is inevitable. The less fat gained, the stricter the diet followed. A little bonus: I used ultra-short insulin from Eli Lilly (USA) called Humalog. It is a very high-quality product, but it is expensive. I highly recommend it, especially for first-time users of this hormone.
