I just wanted to share some of my experience with a supplement that I started to use about 6 months ago. HMB. I was a little skeptical, since I don't think most supplements are worth their hype, but decided to give this a try. I must say I have been very pleased with the results. It has helped in my recovery time immensely and also helped allow me to build some strength while losing some weight and leaning up. I just recently competed in a pl meet and added 29# to my total at 9-10# lower bodyweight. Anyway, just wanted to share. It is not a super pill or wonder drug, if that is what you are looking for, but it is great for recovery and performance. Bottom line is, you still have to be willing to put in the time training.

Just to make sure... HMB is legit in all Feds yes?

Yes it is. It is an OTC supplement that can be purchased just like glutamine, creatine, protein, etc.

OTC doesn't mean it isn't a banned substance... But it looks fine so far.

I understand that, I am just pointing out that it is OTC. Go to the website and read about it. It has been around for years. Like I said, it is a supp. just like glutamine, creatine, etc. There is no way to be banned for it.

I just ordered Optimum Nutrition's HMB caps. I hope this works as well for me. Right now I am taking MHP's A-Bomb, which has HMB in it, but it isn't as much as the straight HMB caps.

Jake, Sounds good. They have worked great for everyone I know that has used them. Take 4day, 2 in the am and 2 in the pm, for the best results.
Just give them a couple of months before making your decision, as you need to give them time to work.

Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid (HMB), or beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, is a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine, which is a BCAA and part of protein. Here is a three part article at bb.com about it. Based on what I have read it should not cause any type of positive test. Anyone is free to correct me if I am wrong. www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beast7.htm
