I generally use BCAA's and Reduce XT (same as Lean Xtreme) during cutting, so they would get my vote.

Also, in all fairness, I havent used many of the things listed so I cant speak against them; just never used them so cant speak for them either.

Honorable mention - used X Factor one time during cutting and was very pleased.

BCAAs would be my fist choice (personally I don't cut without BCAAs).

I've used both E-BOl and Hyperdrol/Mass FX and thought each worked well. The problem with Hyperdrol/Mass FX was I seemed to get a fair amount of side effects. E-BOL on the other hand is pretty much side effect free (this is the biggest plus for me as during a cut I like to limit side effects as much as possible). The only downside I could see here is some people might need to use an increased dosage.

I think XF would work great for a cut too. It can help with strength and muscle retention while aiding in fat loss via PPARs and cAMP activation. Also since you're on a lowered calorie intake b/c of cutting you're AA from food sources will most likely be lowered so IMO making AA supplementation even more beneficial. There are side effects associated with XF but I think most can be elimated with proper precautions or atleast made tolerable.

The coritsol lowering effects of retain and lean extreme should/could be helpful. I'm not sure to what extent they'll help with muscle/strength retention though.


Good luck I think retain, lean xtreme, BCAAs, and the NHA stack would all help with your goals.

Thanks everyone for their responses.

Bcaas would be an great choice. Also if you're cutting, there is some evidence that TTA has the ability to preserve lean mass and help with lean gains.. as well as of course, its primary role of being very a potent fat burner.

Forskolin

That sounds pretty good (although I'd save the PowerFULL until later)

My next cutting stack:
X-Factor
DCP
BCAAs
Glutamine ( I got a big jug free from work )
low dosed fish oil
Green Mag
Thyrotabs (might use the last 4 weeks depending on progress)

I have high hopes for this stack

[Dr Nick]

Jw,becouse i have used it during my cut and in almost three months i have lost a little more than 10kg and over 6%bf without losing ANY strenght,in fact i have set pr in deads and some more minor exercises..

Saying this with an experience in training for over 7 years and my diet has been solid during my cut (ofcourse).

I am plesed with it

HMB, no doubt a wicked anti-catabolic.

Have you had good personal results with this? From the research I've seen, very little was shown for HMB's effectiveness in trained athletes. Of course, none of the studies where done on bodybuilders during a cut.

[CarterMalone]

Yes. I have a high metabolism, and naturally have very little fat (even if I eat alot). So when I work and sleep, because I have no fat, my body burns my muscle, this resulted in weight loss and difficulty gaining weight.

With HMB, after a few weeks of using it, I could actually gain weight, and if you weigh yourself before bed, and in the morning, you will notice that you are lighter. HMB actually made it so I didn't lose weight at night during bed. That was my sure sign that it was working.

[lennoxchi]

Hmmm maybe a AP/PowerFULL/Super Cissus stack sale?[/quote]

let me know if that sale is ever going to happen....please

Personally, I found HMB helps me maintain well during a cut if I use a high enough dosage (about 5 grams) spaced out throughout the day. Biggest issue is it can get price prohibitive quickly.

I've never actually had to "cut" before but BCAA's are very well known for their anti-catabolic properties. The research is there as well, so I would definitely recommend BCAA's
