    If the BB just wants to gain weight, I guess that would be one way of doing it. A BB wants to generate new muscle tissue via HGH as well as cause hypertrophy via AAS. Sugars provide energy to the muscles but it doesn't help build tissue. So the diet would still be the key factor in gaining BB weight and not just fat. For BB fat is a nasty word so I would sat insulin resistance, while it will help one gain weight, probably isn't the best solution for a skinny BB.

    Oh ScotchGuard, I hope you know I realize not the best solution! But while reading the slin threads it came across my mind wondering if the chemistry is similar. One being a choice. And the other a condition. But with similar results or are they in fact 2 different things and just sound like they work the same way.

    Slimmer - as you know I am far from expert on slin/diabetes but have been doing alot of reading here lately.

    My uneducated opinion is that a skinny BB would not want to be insulin resistant as insulin is what carries protein and glucose to our muscles resulting in hypertrophy. If the cells become resistant then the glucose and protein stay in the bloodstream, unused by the muscles that need them and therefor unable to grow. I think the weight gain results from the fact that the nutrients are not carried to or absorbed by the muscles that need them which results in overeating due to never feeling satiated.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong - I'm slowly trying to learn more about this.
