I read somewhere that slin can be utilized on non w.o days, to help with cataabolism. Is this true? Do you treat it the same way as you would on wo days, 10iu first thing in am then carbs/pro and por meal? Does this truly help with catabolism, because I also read somewhere that it primarily shuttles nutrients to the muscle that were worked, so is it practical to use it on off days? :unsure:
If you're on cycle, then the AM slin merely to fight catabolism isn't worthwhile, but off cycle AM slin really helps to reduce catabolism. the same macro intake as would be the case with pwo, but you can use a bit lower dose.Quote:

cool thanks
why do you think your muscles are depleted,you need to train at a high intensity to deplete glycogen in your muscles,yes you may be carb depleted in the am but your muscle glycogen levels are not...i think this is the biggest wives tail out there...this being the reason for AM cardio followed by pro/fat meal....because you have still yet tapped into muscle glycogen..carbs in the AM will be stored as fat for future energy.Quote:

Muscle glycogen depletion is a relative term.....certainly, muscle glycogen won't be depleted to the same extent as post workout, but there also ins't a maximum supply either.. Using insulinchanges the bias that is there in the absence of insulin, where excess carbs are stored as fat. Insulin causes the rapid uptake of glucose into both fat and muscle......w/o insulin in the AM, the carbs ingested would be more aptly taken up by adipose.Quote:
