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!!
 
Xtend would be a very good choice if your trying to preserve muscle while running because BCAA's will help you to hold onto your muscle when you do cardio and diet. BCAA's (xtend) also act as an anti catabolic which is important to muscle building/ preserving muscle. Beta alanine is a good choice for a supplement as well but itd probably help you more as an anti fatigue. Jack3d probably wouldnt necesarily help you preserve muscle while cutting but its a very good pre workout, it may bloat you a little bit because of the creatine monohydrate but i wouldnt worry too much about that because creatine is good for your muscles. hope this helped you man!
 
purple wraath is on sale at nutraplanet right now! same price as xtend and IMHO better.

anti cortisol could help like x-lean or any of the other 7-oxo products.

The Invalid Link Removed (creatine, Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed, and Invalid Link Removed) 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, Invalid Link Removed is fine to use, and would be beneficial as it can actually make Invalid Link Removed 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.

I agree with Rosie. Resistance training is very beneficial. I'd just use caffeine pills instead of a preworkout and it's dirt cheap

I agree... A good diet is the key! I would spend my money on some good healthy food and just keep an extra eye on the total kCal-intake.

If I would put my money on any supplement, it would be on a cortisol controlling supplement, i.g. Lean-FX, to help with the increased cortisol levels while being on a strict diet.

You're so welcome. Anything else you need help with, don't hesitate.. You know where we are ;)
 
definitely nutrition
hows your diet? you could try an EC/Lean Xtreme stack or a heat/dcp/ec stack
the first one i can attest to and the second im starting
 
If you get a stead 40g protein ever 2-3 hours, you are fine and don't need anything else. That is really easy to do. I eat 8 meals a day right now in contest prep, 4 of them are shakes, 4 of them are whole meals. My shakes consist of

8 Egg Whites- 24g Protein
1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese- 10g Casin Protein
1 Cup Milk- 7g casin protein
1tbsp Peanut Butter- 4g Protein
1 Scoop Protein Powder for flavor- 20g Protein

Thats an easy, cheap, 60+ gram protein meal. Do that 2 or 3 times a day in addition to your meals and your set.

i always really like cortisol controllers during a cut, because not only does it really help the midsection, it should help preserve muscle tissue aswell which helps a lot during a cut. My 2 favorite and most effective IMO are Lean FX and Lean Xtreme, both are very solid products!

I would do a bit of research into those type of supplements in general as i really think it would be a beneficial addition based on what youve mentioned.
 
When I cut carbs I like to eat steak and ground beef like no other. Protein shakes and ibcaa's are a great additions. Workout and then immediatly do cardio and watch the fat melt.

Mike, do you seperate your egg whites yourself or do you buy liquid eggs?
