    I do 30 min of moderate treadmill plus a 4 minute tabata routine (usually dead landmines) 3 out of the 6 days I'm at the gym. No cardio on leg day and less intense sat and sun after legs on Friday

    Got everything and started today, but I have a question:

    The Synephrine that I got has a scoop that is not quite as small as the microscoop shown in the OP. The back of the canister says serving size is 1-2 scoops, each scoop being 50mg. I took half a scoop, considering we are supposed to do 20mg, but it almost looked like I was taking in nothing LOL Is that accurate? If it is, why is the recommended serving size on the bottle at 50-100mg, which equals 1-2 scoops?

    Probably loaded with fillers. I prefer raw powder. But should work.

    It's labeled as 98% pure.

    It's the one pictured in the previous page. The same one t-doggg purchased

    Never used it. But 20mg is a LOT smaller than that scoop. Look at the scoop I use in the original post. That tells me yours has filler in it.

    I seriously have to bring the scoop close to my eyes to find which end is the scoop end. That's how small it is.

    I just do a full scoop leveled off flat using the cap from the container. Have had no issues.

    I have the same as him and the scoop looks much bigger in the pic than in person. It's tiny.

    I have the same kind I believe. I've used 25mgs each day. I do get a little hand shakes. Dout I'll run any higher.

    I'm only averaging 1/2 pound a week the last couple weeks and this is with cardio which I never did before along with counting calories. I'm just a lost cause lol.

    I just count calories, take Austinite's stack, workout 3x per week (strength training with 3-5min rest between sets) and do cardio (cycle for 30 min with an average heart rate of 170) 5x a week.

    Looks like I'm going to have to do more cardio as I can't drop any more calories :-/

    Ok.



    That heart rate isn't for fat burning man. Fat burning is done at a much lower heart rate. Without me training I keep mine at or less then 130bpm. I also do cardio for 30-45mins. Tread mill at max incline and 3.0mph or so walking.


    Hiit training is ok for fat burning "170bpm ", but I feel walking is better if all your after is fat loss.

    Any calorie deficient should burn fat. I tried the whole fat burning zone of 130 and after my workouts, I was already siting at 130 most days, so I could cycle slower than molasses and was jumping up to 150 without effort.

    170 I'm putting in work, but I figure the quicker I can burn the calories the better as I hate cardio lol.

    Day 2:

    Decided to up the dosage on the Synephrine since the first dosage didn't affect me. About 45 minutes after taking the increased amount, I felt like I was gonna puke my brains out! hahaha

    I got that nasty feeling I sometimes get in the morning where you feel your pulse increase and feel sick to your stomach. I feel great now, but man was that terrible for a while LOL

    ^ This is the problem with most folks. Day 2 and increasing dose... Be patient folks, these are not magic pills and you could seriously become ill. Follow the protocol.

    Small update.



    My diet is pretty clean and spot on. Without complete detail I eat oatmeal, eggs, chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes, green beans, tuna, and broc. I only drink water, and black coffee for the most part.

    This is day 3 of the stack for me. My shoulders are leaner and my mid section skin has tightened up some.



    Interesting, didn't know what if any what to expect. Not bad for just a small amount of time. I don't weigh myself often guys, mostly gauge off mirrors right now.

    Yeah. The only reason I increased was because in the OP it said to try for 3 days and if you feel OK then increase to two scoops. Although, I only waited a day haha

    I've been trying to convince my girl to stay away from the scale for months. It can be very discouraging to step on the scale and see you haven't made the progress you feel you have.. especially where she is new to weight training and putting on muscle mass.

    I like to take pictures of myself personally. Sometimes its hard to notice the change if you are looking at yourself every day.

    Sounds like you are making good progress bro!

    Do you know what your bf% is at? Before, current and goal?

    Goal is really A trail run only. If it works ill use it normally off cycle. Any decent fat loss is a win in my eyes for the money.


    Bf% is 13-14% not far off from my profile picture.


    I'll start my next cycle in late October. Test, NPP, anavar , t3.

    Oh ok! Mainly I was kinda curious as to how it is working for leaner vs higher bf people.
    I have a hard time noticing small changes in my body. I'm higher up ther in bf, mid 20's. Just that you mentioned noticing your upper body leaning out in only 3 days sounded great! I really don't feel like TOO much is changing but I am losing roughly 2lbs a week.
    I would think having a higher bf% id notice it changing more.
    Could just be a case of simply not noticing it though cause I have had people tell me I look leaner.

    Started on sept 3 and weighed 226.5, down to 218 now on sept 19th.

    Sugar cravings are near gone, big deal considering I love the candy. Been doing light cardio every morning for 1 hour and eating below tdee. Not saying stack is magic but something is definitely helping me fight the cravings.

    Question about stack, after the 30 days, we are supposed to cycle off for a week. Can we continue with green tea and picolinate and just discontinue the synephrine for the off cycle? I would like to keep taking them if they are what is helping to fight the cravings.
