Looking at taking Folidrone 2.0 with Max Mass XT for a recomp.. Would that be a good stack? OR should I do one or the other separately. I am also considering ABE, have used that in the past and really enjoyed it. Coming off about a year of not lifting due to school, work and just life in general. Looking to kick start the gains!
Let me know!
Thanks
For a recomp, I might avoid MassMax XT. The only reason being it will significantly increase your appetite and during a recomp, you are eating only at a small surplus. I think Fd 2.0 is good, but if you want to stack it with something else, I would suggest AlphaMax XT in place of MassMax XT.
AlphaMaxt can be very useful during a cut and/or recomp/lean bulk.
It contains a full dose of Ashwagandha, which is most known and used for reducing cortisol and helping with stress and anxiety, but there are also studies showing it can improve muscle mass, strength, and endurance, which is beneficial at any time.
It also contains a full dose of tongkat Ali, another adaptogen that can help optimize hormone levels and balance, which can be especially valuable when dieting. Tongkat can also improve libido, which is always nice. I find the combination of tongkat and Ashwagandha provides a subtle but valuable mood elevation and reduction in stress/anxiety.
Forskolin can increase lean mass and decrease fat by raising cAMP.
AlphaMax XT also contains a full dose of ferulic acid, which has been shown to improve mass and strength, which is valuable any time.
I also recommend a "staple" supplement with creatine and betaine at any time (bulking, cutting, recomping). Creatine can help you keep strength up during a cut, and has even been shown to help preserve strength during overreaching, and betaine has been shown to improve body composition (increased LBM and reduced fat). IntraMax, Ergonine, and Triumph are two great options here.
