My feelings exactly...

I'm just getting back into bodybuilding myself plus I'm a new pumper so really, I'm getting used to workingout with a pump. But, your comment on needing less insulin for leg workouts and more for arm/abs workouts makes sense. Thinking back on it, i think that my past blood sugars on leg vs arm days suggest that the same applies to me. I've just never made this correlation before. But, considering that legs are huge muscle groups and that arms are small muscle groups (no matter how much we want large biceps), this makes sense.
