ECA question

[karsun]

Can you gain on ECA like they claim on AST?

 

[anthrax]

what does AST claim ?

BTW, the answer is certainly NO since most info on companies sites is mostly marketing hype

Theoretically you should be able to gain if you take in enough calories to override the number of extra calories your body is burning off while you take thermogenics..............but that kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

I have heard that the eca actually inhibits hypertrophy. I obvioulsy want to gain as much lbm as possible, and I thought that the eca would help burn off the excess calories that I need to mass build.

I.e. being 170 and wanting to bulk without too much blubber.

Well, I won't say it's impossible because I have added LBM while cutting up on ECA, but it wasn't much and it was difficult to maintain.

It's much easier to separate you cutting phases and your bulking phases....................no matter what MuscleTech tells you.

ECA will help you lose weight (with cardio and a good diet)

it does not mean that you can not gain LBM w/ ECA

ECA + weight training + lots of calories and proteins = muscle gain
