general question about insulin

[Bulldog_10]

see, i agree with spatts, however, if you take 10 different nurtition books, half will say you are born with a certain amount, the other half say they can multiply..

Exactly...I've seen both. In one of my anatomy classes, my professor said you're born with a certain amount, never changes. Then last year my clinical exercise physiology professor showed us a graph that says that the number of cells and the size of the cells can increase. I forget the terms for each one, but I'll try to find them.

I made this post b/c i am confused on why insulin would be a good thing for a weight lifter. Im still confused. I didnt post on anabolics board b/c my intentions arent to start taking insulin.

I was always under the impression that insulin causes fat storage, along with other things. I guess a more specific question would be, do the anabolic effects of insulin outweigh the possibility of fat storage?

To simplify this thread...yes.(in my opinion and experience anyway) Due to the sensitive nature of slin, if you are extremely conscious of your nutrient intake during usage, fat storage is not a problem.

depends on the individual...it is super anabolic, and yes it can make you fat at the same time. you have to decide if it is worth it or not; taking gh with it will dramatically cut fat accumulation

without it you wouldn't grow much (look at people on keto diets) they aren't packing on the mass, it doesn't have to mean fat storage if you are aware of the macro profile of your diet and the effects it has on insulin levels
