Hey Frank, you are looking good and as entertaining as always. I’m always happy to see you’ve posted a new thread.
Also happy to hear it looks like you won’t be spending any time in jail for your stunt, err, living art installation. Please take care of yourself. Life is fun and every day is a gift, unless that life happens to be inside a Chinese prison.
If the only thing keeping you from bulking up further is a worry about your insulin levels, then please stop worrying about them. There is a pretty big difference between a planned, executed bulk and just becoming a sloppy, sedentary fatass with type 2 diabetes. If what you are doing is working for you and you are happy with it, keep going. If you want to lean out and see where you’re at, do that. I have found that the longer I stay at a higher weight, the better “quality” of muscle I seem to have. That’s a weird way to put it, but I have been the same weight for a long time now, yet I continue to make changes toward an ever better physique, am far more dense than I used to be, much leaner year round (always have visible abs now), and I can eat sloppier while maintaining and even continuing to improve my physique. And my blood work always comes back looking great. Granted, I am assisted, but I don’t think the underlying principles are so different.
In any case, I’m positive that if I’d decided to lean out every time I got a little bigger than I ever had, I would not be nearly so far along as I am now. Patience and perseverance win this game.

Great post. Agree 100%.
Most of the people talking about insulin levels don’t seem to be basing their comments on actual science anyway.
I would like for one person to prove that insulin levels are somehow driven into the negative as a direct reaction to body fat levels in everyone no matter how fat they are or their activity level or age.[/quote]
This is great ! thanks i will keep bulking, but slower and cleaner now that my bodyfat percentage is at an all time high as well! 205 - 210 and ill report back and a new thread for cutting
