Insulin on deloads?

[EXCELLENTMENTALHEALTH]

So we don't use insulin on rest days. Do we stop or lower dose on deloads? Or we want to keep shuttling nutrients while growing in recovery?

I lift 6x a week hard, train BJJ 6-7 days a week, do a few other physical activities and man I just need a deload but I always push through it, but sometimes I gotta do like 3 days of reduced volume, same weight or something.

Man you have a lot of moving parts there. Is a deload like bedrest? or fidgeting/walking/sneaking in some exercise because you can't resist

What are your goals pertaining to insulin use? Bodybuilding? Physical fitness & 6-pack abs?

Those details might be small fish.

I'd call rest days rest, deload just reduced training. My sleep is getting affected as and it's been about 5-6 weeks of this so I think I need a deload.

Goals with insulin is just gains, physical fitness and all. I'm on a minor cut/recomp on it just running 10iu. My diet is dialed in pretty exact, under 10% bf.
