Hey, question about adderall.

[es101346]

Hey guys,

New to the forum. I have some quick questions about working out while on adderall.

I've been taking one adderall 30mg pill, once a day since last summer. Usually, without it I don't have much motivation to workout etc. So before I do start working out while I'm on it, I wanted to find out if it safe.
I'm not a bodybuilder or any type of fitness junkie. If I do lift some weights it would be for about 30 minutes. Reps of dumb-bell presses, curls, some sit-ups, push-ups. I
recently lost over 80 pounds, so the muscle mass went with it too. Not lifting anything too heavy.

So my questions are

Is it safe to lift moderately ?
Should I get a heart rate monitor ?
What would be a safe BPM for a semi-fit 160 lbs. male at 5'7" ? [only have time to workout 1-3 times a week]
I usually take - One a day Men's health formula multi-vitamin in the morning too, should I get a different vitamin to use along ?

Thanks,
Amith

Is it safe to lift moderately ? sure depends on your goals
Should I get a heart rate monitor ? I always work out with one..
What would be a safe BPM for a semi-fit 160 lbs. male at 5'7" ? [only have time to workout 1-3 times a week] can't really say
I usually take - One a day Men's health formula multi-vitamin in the morning too, should I get a different vitamin to use along ? I'd be more interested in the foods you are taking to reach your unstated goals..

and welcome to the forum..

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply,

Any recommendations for a portable HRM? Maybe a watch type?
Also forgot to ask, how long should I wait to start after taking my adderall 30mg ? It's instant release, not the XR.

& as for foods. I usually eat the same thing every day. -listed in order
1. Special K extra protein cereal or honey nut cheerios.
2. Special K extra protein shake.
3. Turkey breast or other meats on whole wheat bread.
4. Special K extra protein meal bars.
5. Usually a random snack [banana, apple etc.]
6. Grilled Salmon or Chicken breast w/ a salad most nights. OR if I am pressed for time I will grab a turkey breast , no cheese, on 9 grain whole wheat bread w/ lettuce, green peppers, & sweet onion sauce from subway.

& as for goals
1. Increased bicep/tricep and chest size.
2. Tighter stomach area. [skin feels loose since I lost so much weight on my diet last year]
3. Increased cardio stamina [will start running again soon - won't be on adderall when running]

Any tips / recommendations would be appreciated.

No idea how healthy it is, but, I ate an adderall a couple years ago at a friends wedding!!!!!!!!! HOLY S*#T, I was flying all night. I would hurt myself in the gym!!

You should ask your doctor about this, but generally adderall should not preclude you from moderate exercise. Half the world takes that drug these days. I feel that your doctor will say you're good to go
