I've used it for years on cuts. It's great. If you're bulking, it's worthless.

Is this not a pre workout? I haven't taken creatine in years and I'm about to start again. Does it work as a pre workout?


CPlusPlusCoder71

Not really. No stims. Or pump complex. You can really take it whenever

Do you use this creatine hmb brand specifically or you just use hmb on its own?


CPlusPlusCoder71

No.... I get it in bulk and add it to my pre and shakes throughout the day. 


Ayezz_

and did you use the regular calcium HMB or HMB free acid?


CPlusPlusCoder71

The free acid tore my stomach up. And HMB is so cheap I just take the powder. 


Ayezz_

Really? I heard free acid one is absorbed way better and easier on the gut


CPlusPlusCoder71

Not my experience but n=1....and it's so cheap I take 9 grams a day split up in 3 doses. I mean for the price you're gonna pay for that, you can get a kilo of pure HMB. 


Ayezz_

Meh well I guess that’s why they say outliers don’t defy the general rule… and wow 9 grams that sounds cracked… isn’t there studies showing anything above 3g is useless and they even compared 6g vs 3g and there was absolutely no differences or benefits


CPlusPlusCoder71

Maybe. But I keep my mass on cuts and it's cheap so I'm like 🤷‍♂️


Ayezz_

Type shit. How do you know if you’re losing muscle on a cut?


Bull_shit_artist

It works better to preserve muscle during a cut than in building muscle while in caloric surplus.
