L-Citrulline helps you hold on to muscle mass during a weight-loss diet

Alot of these suplements do very little, as in very little, most of them do nothing, some do a little.
It depends on how much this muscle you lose on a cut (which will take you less than two weeks to gain back in the bulk) is worth to you.
frankly i could care less on spending 10, 20, 30+ (im in australia and is rare to see any supplement under $60) just to preserve that extra 100 grams of muscle on a 16 week cut.
 
Sorry Gene I'm not familiar with you NO stack. Can you tell me more? I just bought soem Citrulline Malate to try out. I see it now sorry.
 
Thanks Gene. Muscle loss is always a concern for me, especially since I keep my BMI under 21. Always have a difficult time developing size and mass so I don't want to lose it.
 
Hi Nelson. No, not a runner nor part of the calorie restriction lifespan mvt. But at 5'6" with a small frame, I find that when my weight is below 21 BMI, I am at a desirable % body fat level. Would love to put on more muscle weight. Guess it will just take time to do it properly.
 
I think most guys who have testosterone over 500 ng/dl, normal thyroid, healthy immune system and nutrient absorption can gain 10 pounds of muscle without hormones by just eating and exercising right. Some are so active and on their feet all day so their caloric intake has to be high for them to be able to gain muscle.

I have some homemade videos here:

Yes. I agree, sometimes when I am on a weight maintenance diet I find the next day I STILL lose weight, but usually on the days I weight train, I will gain the next. Very much a hard gainer. Will check out those vids.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
