It somewhat decreases my need for fast acting insulin and a higher lean muscle mass increases insulin sensitivity. Lean muscle mass isn't only big bulgy muscles. Endurance sports act upon a different muscle fiber (slow twitch) which barely has any potential for growth but is still there...

After 2000 miles you deserve a rest @Japes :D

@therower i've always figured it was the rotator cuff too, it feels great to take on of those pins that hold up a stack and jamming it in my shoulder massaging it. Upright rows are indeed hell for the shoulder, i usually incorporate cuban rotations seems to help. Yesterday i was able to go...

Shoulder started acting up so i took some time off. The little OCD that i have does not allow me to continue a routine after missing a workout. So i designed a new one to start tomorrow, and i asked my shoulder nicely to be okay. After i've been bulking for a couple of months and gotten to where...

God i hate "the holiday season" even something as simple as going to the grocery store becomes hell because of all the people there. Dodging shopping carts on X-mass music makes me go mental, i exited the grocery store with a mood that would make the grinch shiver.

Good job @Snapsy Started week 4 of the DUP routine, the hypertrophy workouts don't feel like a marathon anymore. But the idiot that made the routine wants me to go go higher on the intensity on week 6. It's all fun and games when you're sitting behind a desk designing the routine but when you...

Did you or is it tomorrow?

HIIT sessions are the devil! Especially if my legs are still sore from deadlifts yesterday. Now off to visit my grandfather who turned 88 today and can still kick my ass cardio wise.

Well i'll be damned #2 ... my Hba1c is actually 5.9% not bad at all. The FSL estimated a 7.3%.

Well i'll be damned ... this morning 121 mg/dl with 28 units of Toujeo and that was the highest point of the night too, went back to sleep for another 2 hours and woke up with 83 mg/dl. Now i just hope it's not a fluke.

Apparently Toujeo has the tendency to clog up the needle more than any other insulin, they suggest ejecting 3 units with force before injecting. I'm on Toujeo for the rest of the month, by the end if there's no change i'll ask for a change to lantus again. It remains odd, during the day i'm...

@tim2000s done.

This is great to hear, i've been having good results with toujeo for the first few months. During the day my BS is stable and i had proper readings at night. But lately and especially the last couple of weeks i've had enormous highs during the night. Same as you went to bed with a good stable...

For some reason there are a couple of songs that get me going or get me to focus. It's just this great feeling of me vs. the iron. Back when i did competition everything blacked out but the platform with the weights on. When i'm "zoned" apparently i grunt/growl or so my spotters tell me, i...

You need to wake up pretty early for several reasons. You need to eat something or you'll "hit the wall" sooner, Your cortisol levels will be higher in the morning which is a bit of a no no since physical stress (working out) can further increase them. There isn't much in the legal sense that...

Creatine is one of the most researched supplement out there. It's classified as a type A which means it repeatedly showed an improvement and thus works. Furthermore no negative effects have been found in healthy individuals, so it's pretty safe. There's tons of ways out there to take it but...

Second day of mixed routine (it's called DUP or daily undulating periodization for those who care), power workout and added abs and forearms. Wanted to take the bike to work today but they started work on my driveway and i had to make sure my car was out of the way during the day so took the car...

5x5 is a great routine i used to do it a lot. I hardly ever go above 10 unless it's abs or forearms and indeed, it always amazes me too how hard just 2 more reps can be with mediocre weight, i've been doing 6 reps with 25 kg more but for some reason those extra 2 reps take a lot out of me.

As a powerlifter everything above 6 reps is hardcore cardio :D Nah, 8-10 reps i consider high in relation to the intensity, my strength drops drastically after 6 reps which is the highest i've been doing for the last 18 weeks on compound lifts. Right now 8 reps on the bench press feels like a...
