Haha, do you have a link that’s in english? That’s a lot of shit to try and digest.

What is so false about “insulin is the most anabolic hormone in your body”? First, it is a statement of opinion. I also just listed the facts supporting that. I mean, if you know of another that directly causes so much to be literally built, let us have it.
I am sure we are all ears to the knowledge you have to give forth.

Insulin is an important topic because you can manipulate it easily through carb intake, and it impacts both muscle and fat growth. I’d say its the most important for this reason, unless you are willing to take drugs to boost T-levels. In other words, you have the most natural control over insulin, even though all your hormones are obviously important. I know you can increase T-levels through hard work and diet, but not in the same way insulin levels can vary from hour to hour based solely on what you eat. [/quote]
this is the grounds for Dr. P’s Anabolic diet, manipulation of insulin to provide optimal muscle growth with minimal fat gain.

This is more reasonably qualified.
Thank you for your input today Liftikus. I am sure everyone was impressed.

Relax, big fella.
I know you know your stuff.
As long as we are clear it was just an opinion.
My only point was that insulin by itself does not build muscle. It is merely one step in the process.
How do our muscles know to build themselves bigger? What other hormones are involved in that?

The truth? We don’t fully know. We know the most blatant instigators of muscle anabolism (like food intake and training), but that doesn’t explain some studies that show decreased leg muscle atrophy in injured leg after an accident if opposing leg is trained…or studies showing increased muscle growth with NO training in quads from the administration of anabolic steroids.
Science doesn’t have everything figured out. It has a lot of it…but much of what we still base our findings on is solidly based in THEORY.

In the meantime it is fun to hypothesize and self experiment.

so, inject some insulin and let us know what happens

prove what, that insulin is the most easily manipulated? or that it is most important? The former I would say is a true statement without thinking about all the hormones the body produces, off the top of my head.
Prove what? Which claim is controversial?

Science kind of sucks for studying emergent behavior. Single variable stuff, it’s great. Even a handful of variables can be studied fairly well. But when you start studying things that have synergistic and emergent behavior, it becomes pretty hard.
Which is why I listen to experience a lot too.
