I'm 23 & have been bodybuilding since I was 15, so it's not really a case of me not knowing what to do, but I'm looking to try out new routines and aren't really sure which kind of routines are available to me based on the equipment I have.
I train at home using the following...
Thank you very much, that's great. Although somebody on a different messageboard where I posted this same question suggested Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" as a good place to start. I'm not quite sure which to go with now considering you've suggested 5/3/1 instead.
My stats are below:
Age - 21
Weight - 16 Stone (224lbs)
Bodyfat - 15%
Height - 5,10"
Insulin Dependent Diabetic
Experience - Been training since I was 15 doing a 5x per week split (1 bodypart per day). I've also done Bill Starr 5x5 type strength training now & again.
My Questions:
I've been...
I've not told them yet, although I have an appointment on Friday so I'll definitely be speaking to them then.
I have absolutely no idea unfortunately.
I'm currently cutting & eat 6 times a day. Only two of these meals contain carbs (Pre & Post workout). The other meals just contain good...
Currently I'm on the following doses:
AM
Actrapid (Fast Acting) - 20 units
Insulatard (Slow Acting) - 20 units
PM
Actrapid (Fast Acting) - 10 units
Insulatard (Slow Acting) - 10 units
I've been wondering recently though if I would benefit more from injecting before every meal as opposed...
Thanks for the reply. That's a shame to be honest as my blood sugar levels are all over the place at the moment due to me cutting. I'm gonna have to speak to my Diabetes Consultant about this I think.
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't find a cardio/weight loss related section. Anyway...
I'm currently cutting & am weight training 5x a week (Mon-Fri). My cardio consists of doing 20 mins on a stationary bike first thing in the morning (empty stomach) & 20 mins straight...
Apologies if this is in the wrong section as I didn't really know where to put it, although considering a lot of you have had experience in using Insulin as an AAS I figured this would be as good a place as any to ask. Anyway...
I'm an Insulin dependent diabetic & have a question. Can having...
Excellent, thanks for that. Hopefully it'll make me feel a lot better & more able to cope with this cut.
I have another question though. Would you suggest I invest in some digital scales so that I can check my weight on a weekly basis to see exactly how much weight I'm losing? I thought this...
Can I just ask why exactly you recommended these particular supplements? I bought them all anyway yesterday, but just wondered what several of them are used for (mainly Chromium, ALA & Vit C).
The creatine mono says to only take 5g per day on the side of the tub, but you're recommending that I...
Sorry for the late replies, I've been busy recently with a few things around the house & trying to get back into work etc, although I'll definitely reply whenever I get the chance. I appreciate the help you're giving me here & I'm definitely willing to put in the time along with you, if you...

Harris Benedict Equation
According to the HB formula, my BMR is 2182. I multiplied this by 1.55 (option 3) as it was "moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week". I train 5x a week along with cardio, although as I'm currently unemployed I spend the majority of my day at the PC and/or...
The reason I didn't posted the diet is because people often see a really long post & think "screw that, I'm not reading all that". But I'll post it anyway if you want, so here it is:
Breakfast
Protein Shake (1.5 Scoops): 147 Kcals/31g Protein/2g Carbs/2g Fat
3/4 Scoop (31g) Ultra Fine...
I'm a 21 year old male with Insulin Dependent Diabetes & have been bodybuilding since I was 15 years old. I focused so much on just getting bigger, that I didn't stop to think how much fat I was putting on during this time. I'm 5,10" & got to 250lbs with around 24% bodyfat. My main concern...
