Glucophage: I have found this to be a wonderdrug.
Glucophage his drug heightens the body's sensitivity to insulin, and is currently used to treat type 2 diabetes. For fat loss purposes Metformin(glucophage) is used in ketogenic diets to rapidly drop blood sugar to quickly induce ketosis. For a mixed ratio diet, Metformin would be used with carb meals insuring that the carbohydrates go to muscle tissue over fat, this is a great addition to a high sugar post workout meal.
Additionally, due to the fact that it controls insulin levels in the body, it also greatly reduces hunger in between meals. Metformin is very beneficial in that it heightens insulin sensitivity, which is very good due to the fact that most Americans are insulin insensitive. This over production of insulin which insulin insensitivity causes can lead to weight gain and also various other health problems. Now, the best way to use Metformin would be to take 2000-3000mg divided up with meals. On a moderate carb diet, you could split up the dose and take it only with your carb meals.
If you follow a CKD (cyclic ketogenic diet) type diet, the best way to use it would be with your weekend carb up, which would follow the same schedule as above. Metformin is not needed during the week, but if you like the appetite suppressing effects that it gives you, you can also use it during the week. Another thing you can do on a CKD is to have a small amount of fast acting carbs (around 40-50g) after your workout with Metformin. This will not cause you to drop out of ketosis due to the fact that the Metformin will quickly shuttle the carbohydrates into the muscle cells while still running on ketones.
If you use metaformin while in a mass phase, you gain less overall bodyfat while you gain size and you increase your sensitivity to insulin!! THis is important as many people come off a mass phase and they are sensitized to insulin. They then start to diet and they put themselves in a catabolic situation by not eating as many carbs as it requires to push maco and micro-nutrients into muscle cells. Not the case when metaformin is used and the small amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas is more than enough to push macro and micro-nutrients into muscle cells.
I have found this to be the ultimate cell volumizing formula:
Post Workout, shoot 10 ius of Humalog Insulin, then immediately consume:
1serving Cell-Tech (2 heaping scoops) contains 10 grams creatine,75g carbs
10 grams glutamine
850mg Glucophage
10mg dianabol
5 minutes later I consume 50g of Whey isolate
The insulin drives the shitload of carbs, creatine, glutamine and whey into your muscle cell. The Glucophage assists as it is a glucose disposal agent. It also makes the insulin more effective. The dianabol I like because when I consume this i get a sense of well being and it also helps my pumps. I also want an anabolic spike anytime I am eating a post workout meal.
Try this creatine cocktail while you are massing an on an assload of test. also eat one more 2 more 850 mg metaformin tabs throughout the day.
