Thread: Twinlab Ripped Fuel

I think my last bottle was 20 bucks, its supposed to be a thermogenic/energy item. Mine has ephedra in it, doesn't really seem to do diddly for me, ephedra never seemed to have an effect even at high doses. Ephedrine however I love even at 25mg.

That was me posting about the ripped fuel in the morning. I like boht the Ripped Fuel and Ripped Fuel Extreme. It has always worked better for me than many of the other OTC stuff when it comes to thermos and fat loss. I mean, you can find all sorts of stuff that will make you all tweaked out, but I get good fatburning off this stuff too. Like Mudge said, it does nothing for him, so people differ. If you are curious, I suggest getting the small bottle to first see how you react to it from a jitters standpoint. You can find it anywhere that sells supps. Don't get the ephedra free kind unles you know you are sensitive to ephedra. Online is usually cheaper too.

mudge, ripped giving you any adverse effects like increased heart rate (substantially), sweating, anxiety,,,, juts anything out of the ordinary ????!!?!

Nothing at all abnormal. I've done 175mg ephedra before, and gotten only a mild heating effect from it. I have done 50mg ephedrine before but 25mg hits me fine too, I dont know why but ephedrine of the 3 or so brands I've tried just does "nothing" for me.

just wondering, i dont take anything besides whey myself for supplements, but i was reading in this and bunch of other forums that ripped fuel gives them a huge high (workout boost) but then they get an even bigger low afterwards, energy levels crash.

I don't notice the "down" being that bad. Except for post workout maybe and that could be to to that fact that I busted my arse in the gym and not the RF wearing out. The people that have the bigger crash usually overdid it on the dose anyway.

I've used a few different brands. Twinlab did nothing for me at all. I wouldn't reccommend it *cough* rippoff. The only downs I've noticed is when I cycle off, I have less energy for about a week. Why don't u start a poll and see what brands peeps like and base your decision on that. Good luck!

Ripped Fuel has changed its formula at least once, now it should have zero ephedra in it I believe. I dont know why ephedra just never did anything noticeable for me compared to ephedrine at much lower doses.

When using ephedra/drine products for weight loss/thermogenics you are supposed to be taking it through the day (6 hour half life). This will eventually lead to some kind of adjustment where it has less effect on you as time goes on. I have never had a crash coming down from ephedrine though and I can't even tell I'm coming down, it is just not that noticeable.

Ultimate Orange was my FAVORITE ephedrine based product, dont remember what else it had in there but it was awesome. I really miss that stuff.

Okay is there anything better or cheaper than buying Twin Lab Ripped Fuel? Cus I am short on cash and only want to get the 'essential' supps for a newbie

Its not an essential supplement at all.

What I am trying to ask is what ARE the essential supps and how can I get them cheaply?
