Rob - Thanks for that. Well we are similar but heck man you you got a truck load more muscle than me for sure. I started Tony Horton's P90X two weeks ago and your post is interesting because he does a mix of multiple reps and some low reps with larger weight. I think that should work for muscle gain and leaning out.
Something else I came across was an article about lowering insulin levels before working out. For fat to be released for energy insulin levels needs to be low. I noticed last week I worked out in the morning and did notice some fat loss. This week I worked out more at lunch time and did not notice as much. In the morning my insulin levels should be the lowest of the day. I have heard of working out in the morning before but because of glycogen levels not insulin levels. I think for type 1's it might be a helpful way to use the fat deposits for energy. I am switching back next week to early AM workouts.
