Ok, the use of insulin allows more carbs to be absorbed which helps with gaining size and looking fuller.
Insulin helps to metabolize carbs and this can reduce the amount that normally gets converted to fat.
Plus, protein utilization via amino acid break down and synthesis can be "slightly" increased.

Hardcore competitive bodybuilding is all about building muscle mass and reducing fat.
How one looks on stage is the one big goal, NOT being healthy and fit.

MMA , boxing and football require the athletes to endure pounding impacts that are terrible for one's health.
The name of the game is beating your rival, and attracting fans that pay to see it. PERIOD.

If overall health and fitness are your main goal, just train/diet but DON'T compete.
I opted to compete on my own terms and refused to engage in extreme , risky stuff others were willing to do.
Because of THAT, I accepted my chances for winning bigger shows were eliminated.

Sooooo, I bought a ticket to watch those with the talent and desire to look incredible on stage.

But James increased his stage weight by almost 15 lbs since severely curtailing insulin.
You'd think it would be the reverse.

GH is a shit bang for buck
Insulin is not all it's cracked to be

Test and one or two other things are the biggest and safest aids

I agree and was just trying to give SOJ the reasons for risking insulin use in BB.
You're 100% right that he's "proven" there are better and safer means to gain mass.

Thing is, insulin makes you see the scales go up but in terms of physique and muscle quality? Negatively.

I’m diabetic and I literally despise the use of insulin in bodybuilding.

Using insulin also makes sense if you want to reduce the impact of GH in blood sugar.

I hear the same thing from many diabetic bodybuilders.

Thanks for the additional input.
I never used insulin and only have a basic "textbook" knowledge of how insulin works .
I'm a tad ignorant on many of the detailed uses in bodybuilding.

Nailed it beti... What beti describes is the main anabolic component of muscle gains from insulin use in a pro bodybuilder. The use of large amounts of GH induces insulin resistance hence blood sugar increases reducing utilisation of carbohydrate intake, negatively impacting gains. Add insulin in this scenario with the gh and other anabolics and you can induce great gains, as we have seen many times at the high level of the sport. This is also why taking slin without Insulin resistance never lives up to the hype and really doesn't do much.

This also explains why GH + slin = GAINS for most

I wish I believed GH was that ineffective, but I do know a local guy who increased his stage weight from 220 to 240 in about 18 months, the only change being that he started using GH. This is a guy who had already been training hard and eating right for many years and had already been competing about 15 years at that point.

It doesn't really seem like such spectacular progress for the cost, although now it's no longer a luxury and anyone can get it. Also, as I understand it, the benefits of GH are more issues of quality of the skin and muscle, to aid in the burning fat... than to gross mass gains itself.

And for most, it's gone by stage time or they have that 'bloofy' look.
(ty for that word LS)

Shit, I would have paid for the extra 10 pounds or so it would have helped me add, at least in my imagination. It's not cheap when you're using 6-8 iu's a day pharma, which seems to be how much is needed for the muscle growth effect.
