DHEA, HMB anybody using these?

[mtnmedic]

A buddy of mine gave me a coupla bottles, after what I've been reading HMB in combination with glutamine/arginine is supposed to be pretty good for maintaining lean bodymass but it's spendy as hell. As for the DHEA I hear that it will compete for receptors and actually block testosterone.... Anybody familar with these?

I have found mostly the same. HMB might be a good idea if you are unable to workout for some reason and are willing to do anything to keep your muscle. Make sure you get at least 3-4 grams a day.

I took it for about 2 months a year ago and noticed no signifigant results (in gains or recovery).

I should clarify that i am not saying that HMB will help you keep your muscle if you can't work out, especially for long periods of time... But it's worth a try if you have surgery or something and have to be out of the gym for a few weeks.

Thanks
