Right before entering gymPrewo for you is like.... With prewo meal OR just before starting lifting?

10iu, 15 at most, depending on carb intakeWhat do you call a low dose? You're using it with HGH I'd presume? Or am I mistaken?
Ahhh i used it like that too 5iu Apidra with 50g HBCD, during quad day went hypo a couple of timesRight before entering gym
Only pussies squat with blood glucose above 35mg/dLAhhh i used it like that too 5iu Apidra with 50g HBCD, during quad day went hypo a couple of times
Did you get that from Vigorous Steve?10iu, 15 at most, depending on carb intake
Correct, a bit of HGH as well (2-3iu).
Is that a gay stripper?Did you get that from Vigorous Steve?
How many carbs are around this training and insulin window? how many carbs in daily diet total?I currently take 20iu R pre-workout and 20iu Humalog post-workout. I'm on a diet, most carbs around training and the fat is going down nicely.... Of course I also take GH 3-4iu 4 times a day.
Once the fat reduction stops i will lower the carbs and insulin dose and continue on. I'm just at the beginning of the diet and the calories are still higher.
Around training (pre, Intra, post, meal) - 360gHow many carbs are around this training and insulin window? how many carbs in daily diet total?
Quick note on Insulin, cutting or not, for those using it on a regular basis:
Site rotation is crucial.
This is important because using the same spots over time can cause lipodystrophy. In this condition, fat either breaks down or builds up under the skin, causing lumps or indentations that interfere with insulin absorption. You may never even notice them at all.
Lipodystrophy has been shown to affect ≥50% of insulin injecting patients so yeah, pretty damn common. Injecting into this abnormal tissue greatly increases insulin uptake variability, hence the “unexplained” nature of many blood glucose fluctuations.
Rotate, rotate, rotate.
Yes, quite a few. The general consensus is that the desired tissue for insulin delivery is the subcutaneous fat because insulin absorption and action in the SC space are much more consistent than when it is delivered as an intramuscular injection.I pin it IM
Any studies in this method?
Most likely not the end of the world with Lantus (albeit it may still make some relatively minor difference).Yes, quite a few. The general consensus is that the desired tissue for insulin delivery is the subcutaneous fat because insulin absorption and action in the SC space are much more consistent than when it is delivered as an intramuscular injection.
Apparently IM injection leads to erratic uptake, slightly faster than SC injection at rest but variably and substantially increased with light or more intense exercise. This may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. It's not necessarily wrong "per se" but different.
It won’t prevent muscle protein breakdown or lipolysis.So if I’m in an extreme calorie deficit, and am using insulin - which strongly inhibits muscle protein breakdowns AND lypolysis
Where are the calories that I’m burning coming from?
Sorry if that’s a dumb question, I’m lightweight retarded
It won’t prevent muscle protein breakdown or lipolysis.
It can inhibit those activities within constrained time frames, but it won’t change overall energy balance in a macro time frame.
I’ll use an extreme example: If it prevented those things, you could just administer insulin to someone with muscle wasting disease and it would solve the issue. It doesn’t, obviously.
Depends on the whole equation and the 1000 other variables at play but calories can be burned from both muscle tissue and fatbut while its active, are calories not being burned?
thats obviously not the case.. but thats where im confused (again, lightweight retarded)
Well if you have $50 in your pocket and you wanted a $2 soda and chips from the store would you go to the ATM and get more money or would you use the money in your pocket?So if I’m in an extreme calorie deficit, and am using insulin - which strongly inhibits muscle protein breakdowns AND lypolysis

Yep. And to add to this, if you’re in a deficit, you’re going to burn through fat reserves once insulin abates.Well if you have $50 in your pocket and you wanted a $2 soda and chips from the store would you go to the ATM and get more money or would you use the money in your pocket?
When you eat carbohydrates and cause an insulin response your body isn't going to liberate fat for energy (go to the atm) it going to use the carbohydrates you just are and burn that available fuel first (money in pocket)
When your dieting and taking insulin you can bet your ass your eating SOME carbs with it so that is simply being burned while insulin levels are high, when they fall you will start liberating from fat stores again.
