hey guys, Im about to start a cutting phase and was wondering what supps would be good and useful to preserve muscle while running? Been thinking about Xtend, and got PPs Beta alanine with kre alkalyn so far...Would Jackd help since it has stims? I appreciate any feedback!!
The
Basic Staples (
creatine,
multivitamin/antioxidant,
good fats,
protein, and
BCAAs) are enough for cutting in aiding in preserving lean mass whilst losing bodyfat.
Honestly, the key to whether or not you maintain muscle mass you already have and lose only bodyfat is going to be primarily dependent on your NUTRITION!
BCAAs are definitely useful re cutting, and you can use them pre AND post-running.
Although not essential,
Beta-Alanine is fine to use, and would be beneficial as it can actually make
BCAAs and
creatine work better.
Kre-Alkalyn is also good, especially if you are resistance training - and you SHOULD be RESISTANCE training, since it is far MORE effective re fat loss than cardio.
Jack3d and other preworkout products are not essential either, but if you feel that you need somethign "extra" for energy, it would be fine. Just a note that if you use a preworkout product that contains creatine, then you do NOT need to use a separate creatine product, since most of them contain your daily requirements of creatine.
