Most Anabolic: Insulin vs. Steroids

[geoffgarst]

I wanted to get some feedback also from the rest of the board, so I am putting this topic on this board as well as the Platinum board. Here is goes:

Okay, I have a question for all. From a bodybuilding standpoint and putting on lean mass, What do you think is most anabolic, Insulin or Steroids?

I have heard insulin is very anabolic and you keep your gains when you come off of it and steroids you do not keep gains for long periods. Typical steroids might be Sust 250 and Nandrolone vs Insulin.

PS: I do not recommend anybody taking insulin unless you are positively sure and know what to do. It can cause a diabetic coma and death!

Look forward to your comments!
Thanks! Geoff

You are not comparing apples to apples! They work via completely different mechanisms. Insulin isnt anabolic per say...its what it does to nutrients that makes what it does anabolic. Insulin crams glycogen, aminos, carbs, fats into muscle cells. This shuttling ability creates a massive anabolic effect. Test is anabolic, but androgenic too. Its hard to compare.

IMHO, insulin taken with the right diet, supplements, and knowledge can give the user more solid gains, as it works directly with the rebuilding process of the muscles, with the nutrients you feed it.

The gains from test can be temporary, as some of your gains in water retention, and adema. Test is the king, but slin is an amazing compound when used correctly!
