Insulin in bodybuilding

Insulin is a transport hormone produced in the cells of the endocrine part of the pancreas. The task of this peptide to reduce the level of sugar in the blood, that is, to significantly reduce the concentration of glucose.

Insulin is widely used in bodybuilding, and for good reason. This peptide provides a powerful anabolic effect. In addition, insulin is anti-catabolic drug, as it activates the enzymes for glycolysis and stimulates the formation of the body's glycogen their of glucose, increasing protein synthesis and fats. It is important that insulin has the ability to inhibit the activity of enzymes that break down fats and glycogen. The above properties of this peptide make it clear why he is anti-catabolic drug.

You should know that the transport of the hormone (insulin) very serious and hormone, therefore it is strictly forbidden to apply it to novice athletes. The main reason for this is a serious harm to the body, which can cause the insulin from improper use and dosage. Recorded cases death.

The main advantage and the advantage of insulin in front of other peptides, is that it is a transport hormone. The role of insulin to transport nutrients into the cells of the body, namely carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids and fats.

Transported insulin carbohydrates give us the energy, proteins and amino acids — muscle growth, fat – consequently the saturation of the organism with the necessary fats. Insulin helps to increase muscle mass and gain fat. That would accumulate as little fat as possible in the body, it is necessary to observe two rules:

1. Diet. Add more protein food in the diet and less carbohydrates. Quick carbohydrates to exclude.
2. To know your body. If You are prone to rapid recruitment of adipose tissue, insulin can only hurt. Insulin works better on ectomorph and mesomorph.

Insulin has the property to transport all the nutrients and to work on different accents. Hormone can work more towards building muscle, or maybe towards the recruitment of adipose tissue. In any case, to gain lean muscle mass with the use of insulin is not gaining fat is almost impossible.

If you are naturally lean and fine boned, the transport of the hormone will be more useful than the time, of course, if you follow the rules of its acceptance. Ectomorphs have a decreased resistance to insulin. If You endomorph and tendency to gain fat, then you have increased resistance to insulin, and transporting it will be predominately fat. Therefore, to use a transport hormone endomorphism is not recommended.

Transport hormone has many effects, of which three are the most important:

1. The effect of anabolism.
2. The effect of metabolism.
3. Anti-catabolic effect.

The effect of anabolic.

As we know insulin helps to absorb into the muscle cells more amino acids. It is best absorbed valine and leucine, they are independent amino acids. The hormone renews DNA, transport of magnesium, phosphate, potassium and protein biosynthesis. With the help of insulin increases synthesis of fatty acids, which are absorbed into the fatty tissue and liver. When the missing amount of insulin in the blood is the mobilization of fat.

Anti-catabolic effect.

Transport hormone inhibits the split protein molecules that consist of amino acids and reduces the process of fat breakdown and reduces their entry into the blood.

The metabolic effect.

Insulin increases glucose uptake by muscle cells and activates some enzymes of glycolysis. Insulin has the property to rapidly synthesize glycogen and other substances in the muscles, as well as significantly reduce the gluconeogenesis, i.e. the formation of glucose in the liver.

The use of insulin in bodybuilding

In bodybuilding use insulin only short acting, or ultrashort.

The short-acting insulin works as follows: after subcutaneous injection (puncture) begins to act in half an hour. To inject insulin need half an hour before a meal. The maximum effect of insulin reaches через120 minutes after his introduction, and ceasestransport work in the body after 6 hours.

Best meds, time-tested are aktrapid NM" and "Humulin regular".

Insulin ultrashort action works on this principle: after entering into the blood it starts to do its job in 10 minutes, but maximum efficiency is achieved after 120 minutes. Terminates ultrafast insulin 3-4 hours. After was introduced insulin, you must immediately take food or after taking one to introduce a transport hormone.

Best drugs ultrashort insulins there are two, this is Penfill or Flexpen".

The cost of the time course of insulin will be released in about 2-3 thousand Russian rubles. So curcit with the help of insulin can low-income athletes.

Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the transport of the hormone.

Advantages:

1. The course consists of 60 days, which means a short period of time.
2. The quality of the drug only at a high level. The probability to buy a fake 1%, when compared with anabolic steroids.
3. Insulin is available. It can be purchased in any pharmacy without prescription.
4. The hormone has a high anabolic characteristics.
5. The likelihood of side effects is small, provided the proper preparation of course.
6. At the end of the course do not need to hold a post-cycle therapy, because the insulin does not leave consequences.
7. Rollback after the course is relatively small.
8. Can be used not solo, but with other peptides and steroids.
9. Missing androgenic effect on the human body.
10. Insulin does not harm the liver and kidneys, and has no toxic effects on them. Does not cause erection and libido problems after the course.

Disadvantages:

1. Low content of glucose in the body (below 3.3 mmol/l).
2. The increase of adipose tissue during the course.
3. A complicated scheme of treatment.

As you can see, the advantages of insulin three times more than the disadvantages. This means that insulin is one of the best pharmacological agents.

Side effect of insulin.

The first and major side effect is hypoglycemia, that is low content of glucose in the blood. Hypoglycemia is characterized as follows: the limbs start to shake, lose consciousness, and understanding of what is happening around, as well sweating. A reduced level of glucose in the same is accompanied by loss of coordination and orientation, a strong sense of hunger. The heartbeat begins to increase. All the above are symptoms of hypoglycemia.

It is very important to know the following: if you recognize the apparent symptoms of a lack of glucose, the urgent need to replenish the body sweet that would bring the content of glucose in the blood to normal.

The following side effects, but minor – itching and irritation at the injection site.

Rare Allergy, but it is insignificant.

If you spend enough time taking insulin, then You have significantly reduced the endogenous secretion of own insulin. It is also possible on the basis of the overdose of insulin.

Course.

Now we know what is insulin and what would be more suitable. The next task is to paint competently the rate of insulin over 30-60 days. It is very important not cursite more than two months, that would give the body to produce its own secretion. If you correctly follow the instructions, then one course of insulin You can gain up to 10 pounds of lean muscle mass.

It is very important to start with small doses up to two units subcutaneously, and gradually increase the dose to 20 units. This is necessary in order that would initially test how the body will take insulin. It is highly recommended not to take more than 20 units per day.

Before using the transport of the hormone need to pay attention to 2 factors:

1. Start with a smaller dose and increase it gradually, until you reach 20 units. It is forbidden to cross sharply with 2 to 6 units or 10 to 20! A sharp transition can bring bad effects to your body.
2. Not to go beyond twenty units. Who wouldn't recommend almost 50 units to take – don't listen to them, as every body takes a different insulin (whoand 20 units might seem a lot).

The frequency of administration of insulin may be different (every day or every other day, once a day, or more). If cursite every day and even several times, the total duration of the course should be reduced. If cursite through the day, that 60 days is enough for this.

To inject insulin is strongly recommended only after weight training, and then to take food, rich in proteins and long carbs. Stabbing need immediately after workouts, because the transport of the hormone, as mentioned earlier, has anti-catabolic effect. It inhibits the process of catabolism, which is caused by severe physical stress.

You should pay attention to the fact that the use of insulin after a good workout, has some advantages: when you bring the body almost to of hypoglycemia caused by insulin, it affects the natural decline in blood glucose. After a workout is thrown much growth hormone. In a different time of day to inject insulin is not recommended. If you train 3 times a week and rest 4 days rest, then you can do a shot in the morning before Breakfast on days when not training. In this case, it is strongly recommended to use short-acting insulin (Actrapid) and half an hour after the injection of a full meal. On workout days directly after a workout.

The conclusion is: if you prick the transport of the hormone every day, then our course should not exceed more than 30 days. If we sparing or frugal mode, corsim 60 days. On the day of the workout after it is used, insulin ultrashort action (Novorapid) and rest days before Breakfast short – acting insulin (Actrapid).

If you use "short" hormone, do a shot for half an hour before the main meal.

If you use "ultra-short", then make the shot directly after the main meal.

What would the injection passed without itching and allergies, and the skin is not hardened at the puncture site, then you need them doing in different parts of the body.

To calculate the required amount of insulin is needed, it is necessary to take into account one unit of insulin to 10 grams of carbohydrates.

The main error in the reception of a transport hormone.

The first error is large dose and wrong time of application. Start with small doses and watch the reaction.

The second error is wrong to put the shot. You need to inject subcutaneously.

The third error is the use of insulin pre-workout and before bed is strictly prohibited.

Fourth error — a small meal after administration of insulin. It is important to eat carbohydrates and proteins because the transport of the hormone will quickly spread the necessary enzymes for the muscles. If you do not saturate as the body of carbs, the possible risk of hypoglycemia.

The fifth mistake — the use of insulin in the drying stage. The fact that your diet a little carbs, or do they not. Again leads to a sharp decrease in blood glucose, and it will have to fill up something sweet. And sweet, as we know, this source of fast carbohydrates that are not needed in the phase of drying the body.

The list and number of products used after the injection.

The right amount of nutrients that need to eat will depend on the dosage of hormone transport. The average content of sugar in the blood, provided that he is healthy – 3-5 mmol/L. One unit of insulin lowers blood sugar by 2.2 mmol/l. This means that if you add even a few units of insulin at a time, it can easily get hypoglycemia. If time does not replenish blood glucose, you can get fatal. It is very important to eat carbohydrates after injection.

Calculations.

Insulin is a hormone that relates to the endocrinology Department. There is the concept of "bread unit", abbreviated as HEH. One bread unit contains 15 grams of carbohydrates. Is 1 bread unit increases the level of sugar 2.8 mmol/L. If you inadvertently, or for some other reason, injected 10 units, you need to eat 5-7 HEH, which translated into carbohydrates 60-75. Be aware of the fact that carbohydrates are considered to be pure.

How to inject insulin.

Before you inject insulin, you need to stock up on anybe sweet products (sugar, honey, chocolate, etc.). This will ensure your safety in case of hypoglycemia.

Stabbing hormone need special syringe, called – insulin syringe.

Such a syringe is much thinner than normal, and it is a small scale divisions cubes. Full insulin syringe can hold a cube that is 1 ml On the syringe fission split into 40 pieces. It is vitally important not to confuse conventional syringe with a syringe of insulin or overdose of this drug will be fatal. The injection should be done under an angle of 45 degrees.

Before using are gaining the required amount of insulin, take your left hand and do the skin fold, preferably on the belly, then at 45 degree angle insert the needle, and after insulin. Hold a few seconds and takes out the needle from the skin. Don't do an injection in one place permanently.

Do not be afraid that the injection site will get infected. The needle of the insulin syringe is very small, so any infection is not threatened. If you had to be a conventional syringe, it is necessary to thoroughly wash your hands and fluff the place where it is to be shot, alcohol.

To get the maximum benefit from the insulin of course, we need to consider three main rules:

1. Diet to put on weight.
2. Productive practice.
3. Have a good rest.

Is it possible to combine insulin with anabolic steroids?

To combine insulin with other drugs you can, because it is justified. The combination in 99% of cases gives a more powerful effect than insulin solo. To use insulin with other medication, you from the beginning to the end of the course transport of the hormone. Best after insulin continue cursite 14-21 days, what would the rollback was as small as possible.

It is important to know that any pharmacological drug, and insulin in particular, it is possible to take only the professional athletes who live a bodybuilding and make them. If your goal is to just keep in shape, forget about "chemistry", as it is not justified in any way.

If a person is sick with diabetes – then he certainly needed a dose of insulin.

Don't risk health for the sake order as quickly as possible to get the desired result. If you've decided that you want to engage in professional bodybuilding and to be performing athlete, go first to your natural limit when you can gain lean muscle mass in a natural way no longer receives. In General, it is necessary to reach its natural ceiling, and then to start chemotherapy.

Remember that before the use of any pharmacological drug should be fully examined. Not have to pass some tests, if you Kursite insulin solo. If insulin is used more than that, it is necessary to pass the necessary tests before the course, during and after. Also don't forget for post-cycle therapy.

Summary

In the end we need to remember a few rules of use of the insulin that it hadn't suffered damage:

1. Know your body, make sure he's okay and ready to use insulin.
2. Correctly and with full responsibility approach to the course.
3. To observe clearly the diet and workouts to get the maximum mass for the period of the course.

If You clearly define what you want curcit, it is recommended to start insulin solo, to study the reaction of the organism, as with the use of other drugs will be difficult to know if you have any complications in the body. It is best not to apply pharmacological agents, since it is unknown how they will affect Your body.
