What's your rationale for taking insulin without gh? Stimulate appetite?
Actually, you can take insulin by itself for bbing purposes because it shuttles nutrients into your muscles. It's when you start taking high dosages of gh that will require the use of insulin.
Remember, gh raises blood sugar and when you take high dosages for a prolong period of time it will continually raise fasting blood glucose levels. Insulin will lower your blood sugar.
Using insulin to cram nutrients into your muscles when you most need it creates a much greater anabolic environment.
http://cleanhealth.com.au/interview-former-ifbb-pro-milos-sarcev/Men have about 5L of blood and women have about 4L distributed all over the body which is constantly circulating around. In a state of rest at maximum about 10 -12 % of that blood finds its way in to our skeletal muscles, as there is no real physiological demand at the time of a low physical activity period. However, when we become active, blood is sent to our working muscles… and that increased blood flow to exercising muscles (Hyperemia) can achieve an astonishing 60% increase in blood flow or more during weight training. This happens ONLY during the workout!
If I supply all the necessary anabolic nutrients in a pre-digested form (e.g; ATP, glucose, amino acids etc) into the blood stream right before training and then continue delivering more of the same nutrients during my training session whilst raising the most anabolic hormone in our body –
insulin – I will create an immediate and maximal anabolic environment.
So instead of loosing nutrients (protein degradation or catabolism) we are creating a greater nutritional uptake by our muscle cells (protein synthesis or anabolism) and simultaneously preventing anti-catabolism… everything we need to great the maximal results we are after. So we need to remember that we only have this opportunity during training, not before or after as blood will not be in the muscle to this extent.
