Another reason never to take insulin, but whether or not you can actually win on the pro circuit nowadays without it is debatable (The difference between Schwarzenegger and modern bodybuilders is largely Insulin and HGH).
Yikes! Spoke too soon.

Planning to do legs today. Leg press, lunges, and calf raises. Anyone else use a smith machine for calf raises? I find it is a safe, convenient way to add a large amount of weight to calf raises. I just load up the squatting mechanism, stick some 45's on the ground for a makeshift step stool, place my toes on the edge of the 45's and have at it.

Also, any cool ideas for forearm exercises? I've been doing wrist curls but that's about it.
