If you asked most bodybuilders why insulin is popular, they’ll tell you this is because insulin has allowed bodybuilders to grow about 30 pounds bigger than was ever previously possible... And this is true. Today’s top bodybuilders are winning professional shows at 280 to 305 pounds, bodyweights never imagined when Lee Haney was winning Mr. Olympia titles at a tall 248 pounds. So far, so good... If you asked the average bodybuilder how insulin works, they’d probably shrug. Simply put, insulin speeds up the rate at which amino acids enter the cells in your body... Protein is, of course, composed of amino acids... The faster aminos are absorbed in the muscle cells of the body, the more muscle can grow... It’s an amazing process, one which has allowed bodybuilders to not only grow larger than ever before, but to do it faster than ever before. There are men that are 300 pounds and muscular before the age of 30... This isn’t humanly possible without the use of insulin... Stacks are the key to success in bodybuilding... Testosterone is stacked with Deca and other steroids to stimulate growth in as many different fronts as possible... Ephedrine and caffeine are marginally useful compounds alone, but when combined in the ECA stack, they provide a synergistic level of fat loss. Many bodybuilders choose to stack insulin with an insulin “helper” known as Metformin... Originally used by diabetics to assist with sugar level manipulation, Metformin assists insulin in its muscle-building duties by rushing more glycogen to the cells, so that it is available when the insulin-fueled aminos arrive... Metformin is typically safe for use by bodybuilders – but not diabetics... One of the side effects of Metformin is that lactic acid tends to build up in the blood as a result of the glycogen manipulation... This can lead to sudden death in people with diabetes... This doesn’t just include people who have been told “you have diabetes” by a doctor. If you are undiagnosed diabetic using insulin for bodybuilding purposes, you should not be using Metformin under any circumstances... If you happen to be diabetic, you may not even know it, if you are a bodybuilder who is experimenting with insulin already anyway. Therefore it is imperative that you ascertain for sure that you are not diabetic before adding Metformin – a very useful compound – to your insulin stack... Additionally, if you suffer from kidney damage, Metformin can be fatal as well. Many bodybuilders, due to high protein intake and diuretic use, suffer from kidney damage and don’t know it... If you plan on using insulin and Metformin, have them checked out! As you can see, with all this talk of “fatal” and “sudden death’, it should be very apparent to the reader that insulin use is serious business... An undiagnosed kidney ailment or Type II diabetic condition could lead to sudden death in an otherwise healthy person. ..That’s serious business... Cross the insulin road once you’ve used everything else under the sun, and only under supervision of a professional or someone with adequate experience...
