Best supp for preserving muscle

chlaxman · 10-07-2005, 12:30 PM

So what have you all found to be the best supp(s) for reserving muscle in an extreme calorie deficit. Why do I ask? Due to biking for the team this year, i can not eat enough cals to remain at maintenance. I try as best as I can, with eating as much clean food as possible, but I just burn too much. So I'm looking for suggestions on supps that could help.

I may not be able to afford them right now, but I'd like to know what works for you all.

I use BCAAs on a consistent basis and find them very helpful. Otherwise I've been looking at:

Lean Extreme
ATD
NHA Stack by Designer

Xtend- BCAA+Glutamine+Citrulline Malate. Lean Xtreme may also be effective in your situation if your bike workouts are of long duration.

Yeah they are long as hell, so I may try Lean Xtreme out.

I always have 2 bottles of Xtend on hand. Thanks!

BCAA for sure possibly some Glutamine peptides

BCAAs + Cit Malate definitely, so I guess Xtend is perfect. I'm a cheapass so during my cut I've just been using free form leucine and it has worked like a charm
