I need advice re. ALCAR and HMB

Stats: 5'8", 170 lbs, ~10% bf
Long-term goal: Decrease bf w/out losing muscle.

I'm currently following this intake schedule:
upon rising: whey
breakfast: multi-vit, Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed
pre-workout/during workout: Invalid Link Removed
post-workout: whey
lunch: Invalid Link Removed
dinner: Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed

I'm writing because I just received the following bulk powders in the mail today, and I'm looking for any advice on incorporating them into my daily routine:
ALCAR (75 gms)
Invalid Link Removed (150 gms)

For example, what should I mix them in, how much should I take, should I take them separately, etc.

Also, if you feel that my current routine needs adjustments, please chime in too.

Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year (in advance).

P.S. FYI, I'm intentionally avoiding certain fat-burning supps (eg, Invalid Link Removed) b/c they disrupt my sleep.
 
For the HMB, I would do this:
  • 6 AM (Pre-workout) - 500 mg
  • 7 AM (Post workout) - 500 mg
  • 11 AM - 500 mg
  • 3 PM - 500 mg
  • 7 PM - 500 mg
  • 10 PM (Bedtime) - 500 mg
Be warned it tastes like shiznit!

Thanks D! I'm a little concerned, though--my HMB doesn't taste like anything when I mix it w/ water. Should I be concerned? (I got my supply from bulknut.)

Thank goodness it doesn't taste like Clout--I have a hard time throwing that stuff down my throat. :)
 
HMB works best with creatine. Get some CEE.

Bobo's stack had like 3 grams of both CEE and HMB pre and post-WO.

I trust BN's quality so I wouldn't worry. I got mine from Black Star Labs back in the day. Primaforce recently released HMB caps, so I'll be switching to that soon.

I agree with this along with another 3 gram dose either in the morning or right before bed.
 
3g a day of HMB does not do much for most people. 5 to 6g a day gives me good strength gains. The only problem I have with it is HMB supresses my appatite.
