What's up guys.
I have been lurking and rarely post but here is my situation.
Last year at my local gym I had a Cardio-fit and Cardio-point done.
The specs I got were as such. Best fat burning between 115-128, 27% BF at a weight of 220. 160 of that being mass, 60 fat, which I don't believe is correct but for all intensive purposes we will stick with those #'s. Did the caliper test in 7 spots. I know they can be very inaccurate.
About 4 years ago I had some Lipo of the pec(had gyno most of my adult life even before the few cycles I did) and stomach and flanks but I still have some loose skin/fat around the stomach and lower back and in those areas as well as in the pec, ass and inner thighs.
For some reason the plastic surgeon did not remove the gland and to be frank my chest doesn't look amazing but after working on it for a while it looks like a solid upper pectoral with some fat at the tip/bottom so it's either fat or just loose skin but I don't have the manboobs syndrome when wearing a T shirt anymore so I am semi happy.
I really am shooting to lose the weight and get down to 190-200 or hit 10-12% BF so at that rate with no muscle gain I would have to drop 33-37lbs.
So on to the real questions I have. Doc has me on Concerta aka Ritalin 36mg(I have adult ADD). I had heard of some cycle of mixing the Ritalin with Clen, T3 or Cytomel, Yohimbine. The article I found is this one http://www.anabolicextreme.com/anabo...16_ritalin.htm
I started about last Sunday by taking 60MCG of AR-R Clen, 40MCG of T3, 1500mg of Taurine and my daily dose of a 36mg Concerta. I weighed about 228(over winter I was training with not much luck in the fat loss area cause I was doing cardio at a HR of 130bpm and doing basic P90x type circuit training and put on I would say 7lbs of muscle.) SO I figure I gained 7lbs of muscle and gained some fat too.
So over this week I had gotten down to 221-223 BUT here is the rub. Sitting doing my daily tasks with no workout at all I am now burning about 4000 calories a day at an average HR of 98-115bpm and taking in about 1800-2000 at a 60/25/15 split. Due to losing my job I can't afford a gym membership right now so I been biking my ass off just to burn some calories. Well today I went on about a 12 mile ride and my HR peaked for a minute or 2 at a HR of 190bpm(I have been told that having a HR of 190bpm is dam close to a heart attack zone.) It was averaging 150-170bpm during my bike ride which I am told around this range it is doing nothing for fat burn and only building up my cardiovascular endurance but the longer I train at that level the more my body will shift it's fat burning zone upward toward that #. Right now as I type this I am at about a HR of 100-110bpm and just walking or basic movement gets it up to 120-130bpm. To add to this I woke up at around 12pm today and am now writing this at 8:40 and by my Polar it says I have burned 5551 calories today(including my bike ride) and yesterday doing no physical exercise other then running errands I burned something like 4100-4200 calories with an average HR of 120bpm.
So what I am trying to do is burn the most amount of fat effectively without putting myself in major jeopardy. Also to note I have a high tolerance for stimulants/amphetamine as I used to take a lot of the real Xenadrine RFA-1's, straight Ephedra and used to make my own EFA stacks as well as do alot of Ecstasy back about 8-10 years ago. So I really don't feel the heart pounding like I used to. I know it's probably still there but I don't feel any heart fluttering or chest cramps of any sort.
I haven't followed this tutorial that I linked to a T. I just wake up take my Concerta, drink my Clen and T3 and eat my Taurine, eat my first meal of the day and away I go and eat 2-3 more times a day when I reality I should be eating my 5-6 mini meals to maintain muscle which I will start doing again tomorrow to avoid muscle loss.
I know that your HR and where it is, is reflective of burning fat vs. burning muscle and I obviously don't want to burn muscle. So back to the calories burned per day. Calories aren't just calories correct? In those calories burned # could be muscle correct and most likely is at these Heart Rates? If so should I take down my dosage of clen to like half and start from there?
Anyone that has tried this with success please give me some response. Serious non dickhead responses would be appreciated and please refrain from the ....go to the gym and cardio cardio cardio. I get it, I know it, I can't afford it otherwise I would be doing it. I usually do the elyptical or bike because my knees are shot from years of football, baseball and wrestling.
So fire away guys and hopefully I put this post in the right place.
Thanks.
