I was wondering if there is a way to take insulin with the effect of building muscle faster but not the fat? I want to get leaner and muscular. Thoughts, has anyone tried any approaches? |
Sugarhead,
We have a lot in common - I'm a little older at 49, but I am a type 1 and 5'11'. However, I am 235 lbs with 12% body fat.
When I was a pup I ran the 1500 meters at a Big 8 (now Big XII) university. When I graduated I weighed 177 lbs with 4% body fat.
Here is a prescription that our trainers used...
When you want lean, flexible, yet strong muscle, you lift lighter weights at a faster pace with more reps. If you typically bench press 125 three sets of twelve reps at a rate of 3 seconds per rep, drop the weight to 1 set each of 85, 95, 115 for twenty reps at a rate of 2 seconds per rep. Do the same weight sets 3 days a week skipping a day in between - the off day is a perfect time for cardio.
