Hmb

[meathead198]

Derek, are you still using HMB as part of your supplement regeme?

I am considering using it for the ending weeks of TP PT's phase 2, and the whole of phase 3.

My question mainly adresses dosage. I am 165lbs roughly. So I doubt I will need as much as you. I was planning on progressively adding more HMB as the intensity/frequency of training increased. How does this look?

for any given phase:
week 1- 3g per day training days, 2g per day rest days=18g per week.
week 2- 4 g per day training days, 3g per day rest days=25g per week.
week3- 5g per day training days, 4g per day rest days=32g per week.
week4- 6g per day training days, 5g per day rest days=39g per week.

The doses(500mg each) will be spread throughout the day. Mainly concentraed around workouts.

Do you think this much would be nessecary? And would it be nessecary in the first week of each phase? As they are very easy, so cellular integrity would nt be taxed that much.

HMB is most useful during times of heavy lifting, and especially during periodization routines (like TP's). I think your plan looks great.

Would you say it is nessecary in the easier weeks then?? Ie week 1? I see little reason to take it for these weeks, as the cellular membranes wont be under much stress. am I overlooking something?

just trying to save the pennies, HMB is expensive

You probably won't need it during week one, so you can drop it and save some money there
