Hey guys, i had a buddy of mine ask me a question and it got me thinking so i thought id ask for your opinions.. He was asking me what i thought about the use of insulin during a low carb contest prep, like 60-80g carbs.. He has used insulin before and said he only needs 6g carbs per iu or so.. Here's what he asked me though. He wanted to do 30g carbs with his meal with 3iu humulin r (around 6am), 4 hours later he was going to take another 3iu but this time he was only going to take a couple glucose tabs with his meal, then 4 hours later (preworkout) he was going to take 2iu with a meal with 15g carbs and post workout another 15g carbs with his post meal. He had other meals in his day but we didn't get in to that.
He was hoping that the use of insulin would help him retain more muscle. I said isn't that why you take certain AAS during prep, but he insists in thinking the insulin with the AAS precontest will make things THAT much better.
Now i don't know too much about insulin so i didnt give him an opinion, i sort of understand how insulin works but not exactly.. I was just curious to what you though about his whole theory
