The Super Recomp Stack | CLA and Betaine
Those of us that have a tendency to put equal amounts of fat and muscle on are known as endomorphs. Some believe it and some say it's bogus. Whatever camp you fall in I would say if you go up in fat just by looking at pizza, try this stack.
CLA 3- 6 grams per day
Betaine 2.5 grams per day
Beware, you will not notice drastic changes in muscle or the way you feel. This is a 12-week or longer stack.
Sources:
Post-strength training testosterone peak higher with CLA 02.01.2014
Animal study: CLA + endurance training = more testosterone 31.12.2013
Bodybuilders progress faster with 5 grams CLA daily 15.12.2009
Stack CLA and L-arginine: more muscle, less fat 09.06.2009
Superstack: CLA + betaine 10.05.2009
CLA and EGCG promising super stack in small trial 02.02.2009
The anabolic effect of betaine 04.11.2013
Betaine gives bodybuilders more muscle and less fat 24.10.2013
Sprint faster with betaine 13.12.2012
Twenty grams of creatine makes you stronger; two grams of betaine doesn't 15.10.2011
Superstack: CLA + betaine 10.05.2009
Trimethylglycine helps you get more reps out of your squats 03.04.2009
CLA 3- 6 grams per day
Betaine 2.5 grams per day
Beware, you will not notice drastic changes in muscle or the way you feel. This is a 12-week or longer stack.

Try Tri-Sets for New Muscle Mass Gains
Have you stopped growing? Or are you just bored with your
current program? Well, Tim Scheett may very well have the answer. Tri-Sets.
Tri-Sets provide the lifter with a very specific set of
exercises that ramp up the intensity of the workout on a particular muscle
group.
For example on backday you would:
Tri-Set 5 10 20
Bent-over barbell row 5
Pulldown 10
Straight-arm pulldown 20
Pulldown 10
Straight-arm pulldown 20
Your rest period should only be long enough to move to
the next exercise.
The first exercise after a good warm up should be a heavy
compound movement. The second exercise should be heavy enough to make you work
through a hypertrophy rep range. The final exercise should be 20+ and a single
joint isolation move.
Do 2 – 3 rounds of a Tri-Set and feel the new gains.

HIIT Your Way to a V-Taper
Do about 30 minutes of high-intensity interval training 2-3 days-a week. Choose any type of cardio. activity that won't affect your strength levels, and use the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale to gauge how hard you're working on a scale of 1-10. In Weeks 3-4, perform these intervals 3-4 times per week. In Weeks 5-6, stick with interval training 3-4 times a week, but add 1-2 days of a low-intensity activity such as walking or hiking for 30-45 minutes.
