Hello!

I am not new to the game, but I'm getting back into it. I'm a Strongman competitor looking to cut some weight. Doubtful I'll ever get into the middleweight range, BUT that's okay because heavyweights have more fun anyway!

I entered a 5 Star Nutrition fat loss competition today. $10 to enter, possibility to win gift cards to my local store or $$ for national placing. I love love love their Stim Lord pre-workout, so I figured I really didn't have anything to lose. At the end of the comp, I'll be getting a $10 coupon, T-shirt and shaker cup just for competing.

However, I understand they are a business. After my weigh-in, they recommended a stack of supplements. Most I am not interested in, but I am curious about one. I am working on review searching online, but wanted to ask here as well.

They recommended an anabolic - Laxabolic - for muscle retention while cutting. I'm curious about anabolics, so it intrigued me. Has anyone ever tried it? Or anything similar?

    Supplements have almost no significance when it comes to anabolics. When speaking of anabolic, that means "muscle building" and "adding mass". If you're cutting weight, you're CATABOLIC.
    The only anabolic supplements I believe that work are: protein and creatine. But you have to eat at maintenance or surplus to be anabolic.

    Hope that helps. Don't waste your money.

    Only worth while suppliment is probably creatine monohydrate.
