Despite recently launching their new Essential Series line, MuscleTech still found the time and resources to turn out more grist for the GNC supplement mill.

Like the other products in the SX-7 series, Pro Clinical Muscle Stack SX-7 is also a GNC exclusive and features two compounds getting a lot of attention right now.

The two products teaming up together in here are Peak SX-7 and Clear Muscle SX-7, and have some serious synergistic potential. Like Battle Toads teaming up with Double Dragon potential.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Two Turnt Up Products

Pro Clinical Muscle Stack SX-7 includes MuscleTech’s new product Clear Muscle, as well as Peak SX-7, a product ostensibly created just for the Pro Clinical Muscle Stack.
MuscleTech SX-7 Pro Clinical Muscle Stack Reviews
If you’re not familiar with Clear Muscle, it consists of the ingredient beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, or HMB for short. This compound is a leucine metabolite which helps stimulate the vaunted mTOR pathway.

A big deal is made about mTOR because it’s the body’s main muscle building gene. Put simply, by stimulating greater mTOR activation you get better protein synthesis and muscle growth.

What’s more, each serving gives you an efficacious 1 g dose of the ingredient beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate. A study showing beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate increased muscle mass, muscle strength and anaerobic properties, also used a 1 g dosage.[1]

Packing It On With Peak ATP

Peak SX-7 combines the compound Peak ATP and the ingredient eurycoma longifolia. If you’re not familiar with ATP, it stands for adenosine triphosphate, and functions as the source of energy for the body’s cells.

Peak ATP basically provides extracellular ATP, which is shown to increase nitric oxide production and boost muscle pumps. It also boosts strength and power by enhancing muscle contraction and improves anabolic signaling by stimulating better protein synthesis.[2]

You also get 400 mg of Peak ATP per serving, which is the same amount Peak ATP’s manufacturer recommends taking.

Additionally, research shows the ingredient eurycoma longifolia can boost serum testosterone concentration and help treat males with hypogonadism.[3]

What I Noticed Taking Pro Clinical Muscle Stack

After a month of taking this stack I was up about 3 pounds of muscle with the same amount of body fat. I’ve lifted for over 10 years so this was a pretty big gain for me.

There’s no denying this dents the wallet, and might take up your entire supplement budget. But if you’re training for a show, feel like your gains have stagnated, or just in a hurry to maximize muscle gains for a vacation, I would definitely recommend this.

Price and Availability

Pro Clinical Muscle Stack SX-7 contains a full month supply, and is only available at GNC. The total price of the stack is $159.99 for non-members, and $127.99 for members.

Even at the member price you’re looking at a little over $60 per product, and as of right now you have to buy them together (Peak SX-7 isn’t available as a stand-alone product).

However, this does appear to save you a few bucks on the Clear Muscle. The price for Clear Muscle by itself is around $69.99.

Pro Clinical Muscle Stack Summarized

If you have the money, you’re getting two well-researched and effectively dosed products. Pro Clinical Muscle Stack is a great way to either maximize muscle growth for a show, or just accelerate a goal you’ve set for gaining muscle.
