HMB

I've recently read about some potential benefits of supplementing with HMB for hypertrophy. What's your take on this? Is it beneficial?

PPL - Calculating Total Volume

When building a PPL routine and aiming for 8-20 sets per muscle group, do you recommend counting sub-muscles/muscle parts in order to effectively cover all equally. i.e. when building a push day, do you count exercises towards just the chest shoulders and triceps, or do you count them towards the upper chest, lower chest, front delt, side delt, rear delt, plus each tricep head? Long story short, how detailed do I need to go in order to effectively build the routine?

Bee Pollen Supplements

Fact or Cap: Claims stating it’s “nature’s multivitamin,” aids in immune support, and can help grow women’s breasts?! Would love to hear your take on this

Vitamin/Mineral/Supplement

Can you post what an optimal vitamin and supplement regimen might be for the normal active adult? I know it may vary some from individual to individual, but what would be your holy grail of vitamins and minerals, including recommended doses? And to build on this, what would your recommendations be for supplements for strength and hypertrophy training. There are so many products that claim to help build muscle that it's hard to pick out what actually is beneficial.

probiotics

I know the greens powders and a lot of similar stuff is junk, but what about probiotics? There seems to be a lot of good research. Should I be taking one? If so, what kind and how much?
