Milos Sarcev Responds To George Farah's Anti Insulin Comments

Milos Sarcev completely disagrees with George Farah's recent statements about insulin use in bodybuilding.

Earlier in 2020, we interviewed George Farah about a variety of topics. One of which included the use of insulin in bodybuilding. Farah was once an early adopter of using the drug as a tool for improving bodybuilding physiques. He has since denounced the drug and believes it is a danger to bodybuilding and athlete health. Milos Sarcev is the man who introduced insulin into the bodybuilding world and he still believes in it to this day. So what does he think of Farah's statements? In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Milos Sarcev explains why George Farah's anti insulin comments are wrong.

There's no doubt that George Farah is one of the most respected bodybuilding coaches and gurus in the sport. He's worked with a wide variety of athletes including top performers. His name has been etched permanently into the bodybuilding history. So it may have came as a shock when George Farah recently criticized the massive use of steroids and insulin in bodybuilding. Particularly insulin, a drug that he originally endorsed earlier in his career. Time changes and people change perspective. But is Farah speaking a necessary truth? Or has be become too conservative?

During our video call with Milos Sarcev, we wanted to get his opinion about George Farah's recent statements. Milos is the man who claims to have introduced insulin into the sport of bodybuilding. To this day he still stands by it as a healthy way for bodybuilders to improve their size and physique. So what did he think of Farah's comments?

Milos completely disagrees. He believes there is a zero health risk in using insulin. Of course, that's if you use the drug correctly. Milos continues to detail how it's a bodybuilder's responsibility to follow strict rules in balancing your blood sugar and insulin doses. If a bodybuilder plays by the rules, there is no health risk at all.

But is this an oversimplification? All drugs can become dangerous when used incorrectly or abused, but the question becomes just how sensitive is insulin on that scale. Can one small mistake lead to a major health risk? And more importantly, insulin is only legal under prescription. Like many other drugs bought and sold on the black market - information on how to use a drug can become obscured. If you don't have a certified doctor telling you how the right dosage or guidelines, how do you know if you're taking the drug correctly?

This is where coaches and gurus come in. But again, these are not certified doctors. The entire world of steroids, insulin, and other performance enhancing drugs operate on an unspoken trust. In clear black and white terms, the way these drugs are being used is wrong. But that's not stopping athletes from living in the grey area in between.

If I was Milos the first thing I would ask Vlad is, " first of all brother may I ask question to you;do you even lift bro?"

[amirz]

I'm going with George. Because insulin in long term makes insulin Resistance and it means diabetes type 2

[elitecombatfitnesscentral]

I'm going with George on this one...No insulin.

[georgetoul]

The problem with insulin is it’s responsible for lipogenesis and fat storage
In the long term it creates visceral fat and bubble gut phenomenon
Apart from that, hypoglycemic coma can occur in case you don’t have enough carbs,
or you OD insulin

[ferrao]

Long acting insulin is danger because it does several spikes during 12h+ after pin ... So it is difficult to control the blood sugar and you may get an hypogl attack any time, and more difficult to take care if you are sleeping. short-fast acting insuling like humalog is not danger if u use it corretly as Milos said. By doing 10/15uis pré and pós workout, for exemple, you can assure a suficient amount of glicogen/sugar in your blood by taking minumum 4gr CARBs per Ui used (Malto-dextrina, Vitargo, Dextrina Ciclo-dextrina). So, to make sure, with 60/70grCARBs intra and 60/70gr CARBs more in pos workout you won't even noticed any signal of hypo. And doing a solid meal with carbs 45 mins after the shake of course
. And of course get Eaas, gluta and Bcaas intra workout with creatin pre and post too. This is a good protocol to combine with Hipermia type workout, using giant sets for exemple (5+ exercices in a row, even 10 exercises) to concentrate 50%+ blood into the muscle, concentrating all the nutrients in it.

Milos has ruined many pro physiques, George has lifted many older pros out of pergatory and into the top 6. No question on who the real “guru” is between them

[stevegreene]

Milos is always spot on! Great interview Vlad!

[pinus]

I thought that when you are training the muscles uptake the sugar without the need for insulin....am I wrong on this? I’m pretty sure there is some research to support this.

[michaelruffbodybuildingz]

Look at Reagan Grimes physique the insulin has ruined it. The list goes on George is right you're playing with Russian roulette. I used humalog can I use after training would have to put down simple carbs like a large Coca-Cola 16 oz. He would spike throughout the day it was almost impossible to control. Milos is in it for the money Jay Cutler came to him when he plays 15th in his first Olympia and he got him on his protocol all I did was make his physique more blocky than it was. Believe what you want I wish I'd never touched it. Did I gain weight yeah about 25 lb a lot was that under the layer skin. If you go to Tom platz secrets of the pros your face is a blurted out and their voice is changed but you can tell it's Ronnie Coleman and he talks about going into hypoglycemia

[candicebluesloan]

I used novalog for 2 months pre an post wo didn't help much just got great pumps but I wasn't using GH, that's when it shines as they say i can't afford 300$ more a month or I mite try it

[bojanpetrovic]

Milos have so much knowledge man, its crazy! Gorege just says its dangerous, if he really has knowledge on insuline he would clarify why its danger, speaking like a kid.. ohh insuline is danger..🤣🤣

[platogenova]

More dangerous than DNP that George was using?

[giannis.peidis]

milos is a killer couch he is abvious a medicine man . i dont like him and never liked his ideas

[andreluiz-ffcw]

I do only lantus fast acting i dont do because of my job ! I cant eat when i work

[mikevaldez]

Milos looks terrible & he speaks in a high pitched lisp like an old deaf Croatian woman, lol

[harrisj]

I will put my .02 in this never ending topic. Milos is 100% spot on and the insulin Jedi Knight furthermore hands down far more knowledgeable than George will ever be sorry that’s the truth. George rambles in every interview Milos is a scientist.

[PawanSharmaBaru]

Some time auto immune syndrome activate, if we take something from outside.
Insulin resistance is another thing, not to use insulin

[albarky]

I love & respect Milos. Phenomenal athlete & trainer. But insulin can shut your pancreas & can make you insulin resistant, leading to insulin dependence. I promise you, I don't give an f if I'm going to win 8 Olympia's, so not worth it.

[bigphatkdawg]

Is he confusing type 1 and 2 diabetes...
