Just watch your diet and don't overload on fats and carbs or you'll wind up gaining more fat than muscle (assuming you're going on a mass building work out plan). This is a case where you might want to read bb1fit's post in the supplement forum about cAMP.

I'll be doing more research on this in the next few months, but that was my initial belief.
