Hi @jefff if your kidneys are ok then metformin is an option, but it can also interfere be responsible for up to 30% of Type 2's having vitamin B12 deficiency. I was automatically put on this drug, and took myself off. My method raises as I said IGF-1 which in the wrong context (high circulating insulin for long periods of time, with high blood sugars) is a breeding ground to accelerate cancerous growths on the wrong hand, and conversely great for muscle growth. Please reduce your glucose spikes.Mbaker, thanks for your references, I will look into them.
Btw, regarding the blood sugar spikes, my GP actually suggested I take metformin, which he said is relatively safe. Metformin does lower the spike a bit, but I can't stand the side effect of it which is from upset stomach to diarrhea . I'm curious about yor method tho'
I have just used my method to allow me to respond to you, as I said I would not reply unless I increased my deadlift 1 rep max from 180 kg to 195kg - so I did, with good form (so I have to thank you for helping me get within 5kg of my goal, which is part of a bigger target). This is my main weapon and the pillar of my method i.e. mental belief and strength, combined with visualisation and physical preparation. So simplistically I focus on power lifting:
- Bar Bell Bench Press
- Bar Bell Deadlift
- Bar Bell Squat
Before I get into the routine, I do around 10 minutes of Karate basic technique punches and kicks, getting progressively harder. I used to do the stair climber. Warm up is important for minimising injury, I also use this time to build aggression and get in the zone (this is just my personal thing, due to my internal competitiveness).
You will need to fuel with quality protein such as beef, no need for any of the traditional body building pre-post stuff, just real food, clean hydration, stretching and quality sleep. It is important to allow tendons to adjust, the meat bias improves strength exponentially. I am doing LCHP mainly and flirt with LCHF and carnivore.
