Dave,
I am trying to cut at this point. I am fairly happy with my results thus far. (I am also 5'11'' if that info helps...) i don't mind gaining a 2-3 more pounds if necessary, but I am not looking to hit 190. My biggest concern from reading posts and various BB articles is that by cutting, I may be eroding the muscle I have grown.
Right now, I am supplementing with:
ON 100 whey
Creatine
Glut
ALA
BCAA
HMB
Flax oil pills
I arrived at this combo from a recent M&F article that suggested different supp "cocktails" pre & post-workout and thought I'd test it out. Not sure what the HMB and ALA are really doing for me, though.
I like the creatine and am defintely seeing results, but it makes me extremely thirsty. I finished my loading phase 2 weeks ago and am currently in maintenance mode. I have noticed weight gains of 2-3 pounds recently. Could this be from all the water I am drinking??
So, more questions:
Should I cut out the HMB and ALA?
Would you recommend something like hydroxycut at this stage?
where should I be in terms of my prot/carb/fat proportions.
Thanks again!!!!!!
