sounds like you are listening to a lot of things from the evidence based natural bodybuilding community. thats a whole different little league girls soft ball game and does not apply most of the time to the big leagues.
eg.,, you really think Phil Heath is going to try intermittent fasting and train with weights while fasted just to try and get a little spike in natty GH ? hell no !! he's just going to inject 15iu of HGH per day with 80 iu of insulin and eat a shit ton of food and still be lean knowing that food is more anabolic then any natty GH release..
as for the Carbs, when your enhanced you utilize carbs way way better then natty . so we can actually burn body fat and still fill out muscle glycogen at the same time.
this is not true.. there are many high level bodybuilders that purposely inject insulin before doing cardio to enhance the fat burning process. I've been doing this myself for a long time and know coaches that have clients doing this as well.
if your statement was actually true, then no pro bodybuilding coach in their right mind would ever have guys run insulin to help burn body fat.
go through my thread "insulin for bodybuilding" under the HGH Insulin IGF heading of the forum and you'll see some reasons why.
perhaps you meant to say something like "once blood sugars are spiked, fat burning is halted" , and NOT "insulin''
which makes better sense and is one factor in the reason why guys will inject 3iu of insulin before doing cardio, to lower blood sugar and put themselves in a hypo state to better mobilize fat for fuel
