Day 5 and 6
Whey and oats was tasty, can’t say I would reccomend it over the normal whey but if it seems like your thing go for it.
Quest Hero, This stuff is awesome its not a candy bar but its very close, and I would say the priceplow review was too negative. Just be ready for it being a bit tough like the quest cereal bars are
Endorush, the flavor was great as were the effects, the arginine/citrulline combo has some interesting synergies since it stops the citrulline from being converted into ornithine. I liked the energy on it and I am tempted to buy some, BSN seems to be trying to make a c4 extreme killer and I would say they have done so.
Vega stuff, bleh, bar was ok drink is bad.
nuun was also rather meh.
Still weighting in around 180, I am partly thinking its either water retention or just daily fluctuation as given my current diet/exercise I should not be maintaining actual weight, never the less I am going to start writing it all down.
I’m also tempted to start taking creatine/glycerine again but I don’t want to screw up the measurements, so I’l wait for the bulk.
Seems we have some food that need to be eaten in the next few days, after that I am going to attempt a fast.
Back down to fairly low level cardio 1-3 miles. Seems the insanity a while back has cooled down.
Since I promised some sciency stuff
Yohimbine, one of my favorite single ingredient fat burners, and easily one of the biggest love hate ingredients in supplements, its very effective and depending on the person has allot of nice effects but the issue with it is that it increases noradrenaline, which makes it very effective at giving people panic attacks.
Now you will generally know which category you fall into when you take it, I would advise a low to moderate dose the first time around and working your way up.
Also I would suggest a product using pure Yohimbine HCL, unstandardised, or poorly standardised extracts of the bark I consider as playing Russian roulette with side effects. Y bark has allot of alkaloids in it and I’m not sure you want most of them.
As for fat burning it has several interesting mechanisms, such as slightly targeting waist and tight fat due to a higher density of the receptors it works on(a2-adrenergic).
It is best used in a fasted state, as its effects on insulin seem to cancel out its fat burning benefits.
in this case fasted means insulin fasted, so carbs and protein, fat doesn’t cancel out the benefits.
It is synergistic with caffeine and exercise, so its advisable to take it with those.
It is also ketogenic, and enchants ketone production when in ketosis.
It interestingly does not negatively affect sleep.
As for dosing the general dose is 2-8 milligrams, tweak to preference, you can go up higher, .2 milligrams per kg(.09 per pound) of body weight is generally safe but be careful when mixing it with other stuff.
Finally if you are taking any prescription/over the counter drug, or do not have a good record of heart health talk to your doctor. Y interacts with allot of stuff.
As for Alpha Yohimbine(or Rauwolscine) It seems to have a slightly different pharmacological profile then Y and in some ways seems more effective, for this 1 mg is a good starting dose, I can’t comment too much on it but it looks like a good ingredient and I would like to try it at some point as I am still trying to figure out if it has more or less side effects.
