You’re not just trying to build muscle…

The reel accurately describes creatine's benefits for strength and performance, but overstates HMB's effects on muscle protection and recovery in the general population. While creatine is well-supported for strength gains, HMB's benefits are primarily documented in older adults or clinical populations, not the general fitness community.
“Creatine will help you lift more intensely, build more strength, and get stronger.”
Creatine is well-supported for improving strength, power, and training volume in healthy adults and athletes. The effective dose is typically 3-5 g/day, aligning with the reel's claims about strength and performance benefits.
“HMB has been studied to improve recovery, reduce muscle breakdown, and preserve lean muscle.”
HMB's benefits are primarily supported in older adults and clinical populations, not the general fitness community. While it may help reduce muscle breakdown and improve recovery in these groups, the evidence is less robust for younger, healthy individuals. The reel's broad claims lack this context.
You’re not just trying to build muscle… You’re trying to KEEP it. Creatine = more strength + output. HMB = less muscle breakdown + better recovery. Train hard. Recover smarter. Repeat. Most people focus on the pump. Serious lifters focus on longevity. Are you building… or building AND protecting? 👀💪🏾 #ANIMALPartner @ANIMALpak #ANIMALPak @AnimalPak
