Geek’s Test is Best Recomp

[NeuroRN]

That seems logical.

 

[anabolic_geek]

@NeuroRN Yes. I have 3-4 meals during the effective window (the 4th being near the tail end). If I dose first thing in the morning this means I peak right after my workout.

 

[NeuroRN]

Excellent plan. Probably still wouldn’t hurt to keep a glucometer with you. They are super cheap at Walmart or local pharmacies.

 

[Dirtnasty]

May as well pick one up when you get the slin as a power lifter I see no use but maybe when I bb. Only two drugs on my do not use list at this point so I never say never but to those two

 

[anabolic_geek]

Yep! I got one!

Are you doing 10g of carbs per iu with each meal?

 

[anabolic_geek]

No. I’m titrating up based on my blood sugar levels and how I feel. Basically instead of adapting my nutrition to the insulin I’m adapting my insulin to my current carb intake (which is pretty consistent thanks to diet Coach app).

I think this meso is starting to wear me down.

 

[NeuroRN]

Is this 3rd meso?

 

[Rusty]

Which insulin do
You
Take and why

 

[anabolic_geek]

Yes. After this is a 1 week deload and a 3 week long resensitization meso. Then we loop back to the beginning with different exercises.

 

[anabolic_geek]

Right now I’m taking Novolin N. It’s a form of intermediate acting insulin that happens to work really well for my schedule. It takes 4-6 hours to peak, so my body will be wanting blood sugar after my workout, which is mid morning.

 

[NeuroRN]

Meso 3 has always been brutal. Every program they have written. Keep it up.

 

[Rusty]

I am gonna have to do some research on this stuff. Sounds very specific

 

[anabolic_geek]

Insulin protocols vary pretty widely from what I’ve seen. The idea behind mine is to keep it simple.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Simple is best sometimes

 

[Rusty]

From what I have read so far it can be very dangerous if I fuck it up. It does seem to add quite a bit of size and endurance when done properly. But seems like timing and carb intake is very specific and in some cases may cause the pancreas to produce less than normal insulin requiring a guy to take insulin the rest of their lives like another TRT. Don’t think I’m gonna jump on that train. But results are definitely good. Be safe brother.

 

[anabolic_geek]

@Rusty There’s actually no evidence that this actually happens. In addition, the pancreas just doesn’t work the same way the HPTA works — the pancreas has a range of possible insulin values it can pump out. If anything, exogenous insulin relieves the pancreas of some of its duties, increasing its longevity. Stuff like this is simply a bro science myth. Using insulin cannot make you diabetic. It just doesn’t work that way.
