Mostly added to the meal pre and post and 2nd post.

They are added to the meals, nothing but water inbetween meals and usualy 2.5-3h between meals.

Doing p/p/l/r/u/l/r

fasted stepper 30min on restdays

Would say training is good but not fantastic, feels good training but no super strength increases as I expected from the clean diet and highandrogen load. (No sides though), Pumps are okay nothing special although Ive added slin pre workout and gh for this offseason.

What I put as “adds” was just the loose fooditems that are not directly connected to certain any certaint meal.

So came to a halt again and have to add more food, been at 230-234 for about 2 weeks now and have made 2 food bumps which didn’t increase bw.

Going foreward I added a little but looking for though and tips!

(all my food is measured uncooked)

50g rice 200g vegetablemix 200 low fat salmon (54c, 4f, 49p)

Just got labs back.

on 3.6 iu of growth and got IGF1 back at 617 microg/L

Is this good?

Also heard that hormones should go back to “HRT”levels during cruise to aid healthcomeback etc. Would this IGF one level hinder that or is 617 not high?

Should be alright then!

• Steps at 8000k, biking 20-30min a day to gym + 30min stepper on restdays.

• Pretty lean still and surplus an gain is pretty slow and steady. digestion is great.

• Still hungry post meal

• Gh is pre bed and only at 3.6 iu.

• Not adding insulin to add more food just using it with the current diet.

Been using humalog for about 2 months now. Was looking to get more information about what glucose numbers to look for when checking bloodsugar. What to have on wake, pre meal, 2h post meal maybe. What are the upper limits for these before being to insulinresistant?

Also I´m aware that insulin use causes insulin resistance, but what…

Its been about 1-1.5lbs per week on average this pushup and recently about 1.5lbs.

Anyone have experience with shoulder bursitis and what helped them?

Have had it for 4 months now and just about 4 weeks back into being able to chestpress straight forward narrow grip, any other variation hurts. Been on and of NSAIDS during this period and they seem to help each time I start them of again but then it stops, said effect kindof…

bump

Test c has a halflife of about 7 days or so I think so saturation is in about 5week. I’d go to 250mg for 5 weeks and if all feels good then up to 400 and stay there for the remaining 11 weeks. Probably would only do one bloodpanel during that cycle, probably about at week 10(5 weeks after going up to 400) or just in the end before finishing to…

Not a ultrasensitive e2 test, could estrone show up as estrodiol?

Ways to lower hematokrit outside of lower drivers eg. Eq?

Ways to lower hematokrit outside of lower drivers eg. Eq?

Just got bloods back.

Everything fine except

Hematokrit at 57

E2 at 48 pg/mL

Recently ramped up to 525test, 490eq and 140nand about 2 weeks ago

Was on 525test, 280 eq and 140nand before

Obviously that amount of eq was to much for me so will definitely lower eq to say 350. Should I then increase nand since it aromatizes less then adding test would?

Also its pharma prescribe Humalog

Sounds like something is a miss in your set up to me or the insulin has lost potency potentially.

Talk me through your set up here.

to confirm your taking 230g carbs around training window and your taking 26iu what pre and post?[/quote]

Say I pin 26iu 10.00, eat 230carbs and finish eating 1030, at the gym probably 10.50. 35carb intra and…

Soo question is what macro I should increase during restdays when moving kcals up.

Currently at

TD 655C,55F,305P

NTD 400,90,300

Currently in pushupphase. Is there any value to having more fats added then that? Meals are basicly same but one 100carb meal is switched to salmon and veggies and then I add a little more nuts on restdays.

Question about latpulldown form if rounding the shoulder will be worse?

Ill add 2 pics to show difference i mean

Have done up to 230carb+ 35intra + 26iu now and cant really say I feel this amazing pump that is talked about, Cant say if eel much at all? Is there something im missinh?

Trying to scale up volume as much as possibly without having progression stall.

When changing up my split abit though I went to only 1 set hack + 1 set leg extensions 2x per week to lower guads as a priority. And this makes quadstrenght progress more then any other time.

Seems like that might be the best way for quads then.

Problem Im…

Been testing abit now and found me dose to be about 11carbs per unit before my bgm reports me being hypo.

Can’t yet say that I have felt any hypo symptoms either even though I was down to 3.1.

Also can’t really say I’ve felt these “crazy pumps” (just normal pumps) that some people talk about when doing pre workout insulin. Is 100-150 pre+intra…

For educational purposes!

I have a basic understanding of how insulin stores nutrients in the body/how it works but what I dont understand is how exogenous insulin can bring such anabolic(/anti catabolic) properties!

Say blood glucose is at 5.0, I then eat carbs, food gets processed and bg rises, z amount of insulin gets secreted by the pancreas…

You really should have some one guiding you through this bud as it needs to be tailored to yourself which is impossible to do properly on the forum like this.

However as an example if you are doing this on high days like JH does.

check BG pre meal 1

Add 5iu to meal 1 – check BG 60 minutes post meal 1 and 120 minutes and 180 minutes. –… Read more

I think the pros will answer “try it to find out” and “works for some and not for others, gotta try” 🙂

So just got humalog and a bgm, in what intervalls after pinning+eating would you advice checking bg? Every 20mins?every 30 mins?

Also do you check this at home to find your set insulin:carb ratio at first then do it whilst working out?

Thanks!

Thanks guys! Also been thinking of doing a ppl r ul r, this then means more sets could be fit in the PP workouts also since 1 more day is added as recovery?

How about doing U/L/extra with bic,tric, calvs and abs on the extra day and removing them from the other days, would be a less stressfull workout so might be able to do that without…

As mention im trying to figure out what training split to use to bring up some lagging bodyparts.

Quads and chest are in good spot to be prioritized lower atm but ofc still want more size, not a problem to have them last in their sessions and still progress lifts!

Thank you!

Would you say 5iu is a good “safe” start does for pre workout if there is about 100g carbs pre, 30intra and 100post ?

Yes bud I would adjust the carbs and have 50 intra initially until you asses response of the set up[/quote]

Great, thanks!

Anabolic effect in offseason!

Need is a strong word, I dont “need” insulin but I do want to try it for mass!

Hello

Been thinking of starting to use insulin on my highdays and possible also on my middays if training in the morning.

Been thinking of using rapid acting and wondering how many units to start of at and then to taper up to know how much is right.

Have a glucose monitor at hand.

Highdays are at 735c right now so fairly high carbs.

Thinking to…
