About to start a RPM/Drive/X-factor stack

[PennStateMuscle]

I'm probably going to start it up on Saturday morning, I'll be able to get some much needed rest and hit the gym around noon time. Got everything together for a great 8 week cycle. I did have one question though. Anyone with any experience with the stack know how the recovery time on the stack was? I was thinking about adding ZMA in the evenings but I don't know if this will be overkill.

you should be fine adding in some zma if you feel like it. the x-factor increases DOMS and it extended the length of my soreness, but nothing that was detrimental

is there a particular recovery you are referring to?

Really just muscle soreness, in the past ZMA really cut down on that for me.

 

[AnonyMoose]

from my experience - ZMA is not really used as an aid to muscle soreness as to help testosterone production.

I remember it working for me, on ZMA I'd wake up with very little soreness but maybe that was an effect of the test levels over night. I know that's ZMAs main use to increase test levels while you're asleep. I just wasn't sure if it would be alright to use while on this stack?

 

[bolt10]

zma is perfectly fine to use on that stack

gotcha - i was confusing recovery as to what to do after the stack and obviously there's not a pct involved here. there is not problem using zma to increase your test while on this. you might want wait after you start first to see how your body does with just the sarm effect.

The magnesium in ZMA can promote muscle relaxation, and lowers the risk of cramps. I think this the magnesium is the reason for your lack of tightness/soreness

Great info guys I appreciate it. I think I will run the stack for at least a week maybe two to see how I adapt and then I may add the ZMA. I'll hopefully keep everyone posted, I'm actually having a body comp test done saturday right before my workout so after the stack we'll see how the numbers changed.

that would definitely explain that - but remember that you need a full mineral and b complex spectrum for the magnesium to be effective for that and especially with calcium.

Yeah the calcium thing was always a challenge, trying to find a good final meal/snack that wasn't too high on calcium to get the best absorbtion of the zinc. I remember actually buying ON Egg protein powder and it was the worst stuff I'd ever tasted, but I choked it down most nights or mixed it with something else.

Anything that aids in achieving improved sleep quality will help with recovery overall. Muscle repair/recovery included.
