Insulin Pre-Contest

[Oblix]

Do many here keep using Insulin all the way up until contest?

If you use enough HGH will you still be able to get to 4% BF while using insulin once per day?

Or will insulin inhibit fat burning even with HGH once bodyfat levels get below 8-10% Bodyfat?

I don't think insulin and fat loss actually mix. Honestly it doesn't have a place in pre contest IMO.

Timing is key. I kept insulin in until about 6 or so weeks out on a 16 week prep. Always got leaner.

What was your timing?

It is all about timing. People I know use it pre workout with intra drinks and also with carb up. It really depends on where you start your prep and how you progress as to how long it can stay in.

Pre workout with humalog. In and out quick. Carb/fats most of the day away from the workout and then centered my carbs pre, during, and post workout.

I've been using it on days that I train twice.

3-4iu post workout after first training
6-12iu pre workout before second training.

I do it this way so it's not active when I go to sleep after the second one.

I'm 7 weeks out from a show and slowly tightening up and weight is holding steady.

Total Carb Intake

If the total amount of carbs for the day is kept the same then low dose slin shouldn't stop fat burning?

If somebody was down to 100g carbs total for the day, 50g after cardio and 50g before training. Then taking 5iu slin with each of these meals should not effect fat burning?

6am- 5iu HGH
615-715am- Cardio
715am- 5iu Slin
730am- 50g Carbs from Oats, 50g Protein from WPI
830am- White Fish and Greens

Later in day after Protein based meals with no carbs.

5pm-5iu HGH
530pm- 5iu Slin
545pm-50g Carbs from Oats, 50g Protein from WPI
6pm- Weights with Water only but 50g Glutimine added to water bottle.
730pm-White Fish and Greens

Had zero issues with going hypo.

Would removing the 2 doses of slin from above speed up fat burning at all?? or just make me lose size. Small doses of slin give greater fullness and seem to make hands more numb with the hgh.

I don't know what is suggested or not but if I ever get near the point of my diet I'm on 100g carb slin has been taken out long ago. My body would suck up every gram of carbs at that point and insulin wouldn't be needed.

Just wanting to maximize the HGH? with the minimal amount of Carbs for the last 4 weeks to get rid of last bits of fat. Before slowly bringing carbs back in for last week.
