I’m glad you made progress but I have to say you gained more fat than you think. Remember when you gain fat you gain it all over not just in 1 place. I believe you could of gotten the exact same results with just the PA. Also aren’t you using Plazma to? It’s not just me that thinks clear muscle is a bust, HMB-fa has been getting universally panned all over the place.
But honestly bro If you want to seriously grow you’re going to need more rest days. Working out for 2hrs a day 7 days a week isn’t going to do it. You gotta bring that mass up to match that knowledge, [/quote]
I’ve been on PA and Plazma for at least 40 days prior to HMB-FA. I’ve made this pretty clear.
I also did note that I got softer, I’ve noted that earlier BUT what you need to consider is that it’s 12-14 lbs scale weight gain. Relative to the weight gain, the fat is negligible. My legs are actually a lot bigger as well AND they have more definition now than they did when I was 12-14 lbs lighter. Also look at my neck and traps. The size difference is actually very little fat gain with all things considered.
As for HMB-FA being universally panned, yeah, by people that are assuming it’s a anabolic. It’s not. The science does not suggest that it’s a very good anabolic but the science suggests that it’s a very strong anti-catabolic. The HMB-FA study also replicated the results seen from another lab done on HMB-Ca by Kraemer several years earlier. We basically have TWO studies that have essentially demonstrated similar results.
Need I also point out that the people panning HMB-FA before people started using it were and still are by people whom clearly did not bother too look into the ingredient and instead just jumping on the bandwagon of panning the stuff because it’s what appears to be the cool thing to do at the moment?
As for putting on mass, that’s 12-14 lbs scale weight gain, very obvious size gains with very negligible fat gains as one can see in the photo. I made a whole lot of gains in a very small amount of time with the only new variable being the HMB-FA. Rate of progression shot through the roof there in comparison to my prior rate of progression (even with the PA).
Like I’ve mentioned, if you’re looking for an anabolic in HMB-FA, you’re not going to get that. It’s not the main MOA of the ingredient. However, if you can bring your training up to take advantage of the anti-catabolic MOA of the ingredient, it’s going to shine. It will also shine when you’re on a cut since you are putting yourself in potentially muscle wasting state when cutting. Don’t blame the stuff for not working if at the end of the day you’re not applying the right tool (the supplement) for the right job (training).
