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!

Been running UL for few years now and recently switches up the usual to…

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…
