Sorry mate I must have misread that. Basically when I use slin, I don’t use GDA. I use GDA in all other carb meals though 🙂

It’s not zero carb but alpro yoghurt is about 2g carbs per 100g. Mix your protein in with it and some sugar free syrup or nut butter – lovely

Joe are you using GDA’s with the intra / post meal? Wondering as your slin is pretty low post compared to pre. Usually it is the other way around ????

Hey mike yah I also use glycomax from Strom. And bought slin down from 8 to 6 units post because I kept slightly hypo-ing 🙂

Feathered quads will come from getting lean doesn’t matter what cardio you do, just get Lowe enough bf% and you’ll soon find out.

Personally my legs are sound doing stair master and I’ve done hard intervals before (purely to make weight – wouldn’t do this now I’m open) – but I have seen others suffer with negative effects from using it.

It’s more of a trial and error thing so just try they all out and see what suits you best.

You’ll burn most cals on stairs so could opt to use them initially to get down. Then switch to lower intensity cardio like walking to finish it off when your on lower food and recovery isn’t optimal.

@tom-mantel hey man I leave it like 60-90 mins bro so I’m completely sound digestion wise. I HATE training if I feel full or bloated.

Meal wise I usually eat after wake around 6.30 ish then again at 9.15 on break between clients then again just after midday – then my pre like 3.30/4ish depending what time I train – then post obv after training 🙂

@bling82 hey mate not gunna lie I haven’t had that effect what so ever as I’m getting leaner from bringing food down but insulin isn’t changing my look in a bad way at all. I’m kind of lucky in that aspect, like I don’t even hold water off anything really – no orals either – happy days haha 🙂

Hi Joe, enjoying the log mate!

You commented previously that during your off season you felt the added insulin helped with muscle fullness and keeping your muscles looking rounder constantly.

Do you feel that you are still experiencing these fullness effects when compared to this same point of previous preps gone by, where insulin hasn’t been used?

I’m really interested to learn at what point within a prep that insulin is pulled back out and why.

Hey Ben great question mate! Ok so yeah the noticeability of the slin on my pumps was huge. After my pre workout meal and hitting a few sets I feel huge haha

Yes every time I shoot slin pre workout it hits me and I notice the difference compared to when I don’t take it so I’m enjoying it whilst on prep as it’s keeping me full and muscle bellies looking nicely full.

I will keep you posted on my insulin use and what we do with it as I go. Currently running 8units pre and 6 units post 🙂

@jeffy96 Hey man hope your well my first ever show was Miami Pro in 2014 and I compete as a muscle model. I won and have been competing ever since. I went on to become a WBFF pro muscle model and now hunting for the IFBB Pro card as an open class bodybuilder! 🙂

Had a rest day and saw the osteopath today which was really good. Been feeling it a lot recently so needed to get my back sorted out. He also looked at my shoulder which has been niggely for ages. Also went for a long walk on the hill with my gf. I don’t have any cardio In my plan per se but it’s nice to get out and keep my steps and my NEAT up 🙂
