Best Fat burner out?

[Merkaba]

I'm four weeks out and basically slacked a bit too much on my diet. Its my first show but I know I shouldve been tighter this close.

I've read a bit about meltdown and I'm wondering about arson. What do you guys suggest? I dont want to pay too much though its not that big of a deal to me. I have hydroxycut hardcore. I only take maybe two pills a day. I'd like something that doesnt rely on tons of caffeine as I can get that from anywhere alot cheaper. Does this exist? I dont want anything too over the top as i will be doing a ton of cardio and dont want to over tax my system. Its an all natural show so I guess that limits me a little? I dont have much experience with supplements as I never really have seriously taken much besides creatine.

Thanks for any advice.

There's no magic out there beyond "don't eat". No fatburner will do more for you than give you some energy while suppressing appetite a bit.

And the best is still the basic standard: ephedrine and caffeine.

meltdown is awesome. i am having great results with at large nutritions nitor as well. nitor reminds me of stacker three with the ephedra.

Meltdown is great. Try it out, you won't be sorry

I also loved Meltdown but I also agree with built that the EC stack is the best if you can handle the sides which I could not and I do not even want to go near Clen or DNP

Workiingatit, how much did you take when you took it?

The reason I ask is a lot of people
a) take too much all at once, rather than multiple small doses
and
b) don't know to titrate up and down when they use it.

Start small. The ephedrine HCL tabs here in Canada are all 8mg. So take 8mg E with 100mg caffeine thee to five times a day. Start with three, work up to five. To come off, taper back down to three. Then keep the caffeine and gradually drop the ephedrine from three, to two, to one, to none. Then taper the caffeine. No headaches, no groggies.

I had the Lipodrene and i tried taking 1 2 times a day they were 25mg it was way to much so i used a pill cutter and cut them in half and was taking 12.5mg twice a day I just could not handle the sides made me to jittery and stimmed out. If you handle stims ok there is no question the EC is the best bet

Lipodrene isn't just EC

Lipodrene's got ephedra, yohimbine and synephrine. NO wonder you felt horrible!

I honestly hate synephrine. Yohimibine gives me a headache, and combined with ephedrine (or ephedra, as is the case for Lipodrene) is not a great idea for most people.

I don't trust herbals. Ephedra is the herbal source. I would want the chemical Ephedrine HCL - safer and easier to titrate the dose.

ephedrine hcl did nothing for me. i have never tried herbal.

ds makes top notch fat burners, check them out.

 

[Merkaba]

where can I get ephedrine hcl?????

 

[Built]

Any supplement store in Canada sells it. Not sure who sells it in the USA.

 

[biggfly]

So Built do you think Ephedrine HCl is more effective and produces better results than herbal?? Do you not trust the purity/potency of herbal or what aspect?? I have had good luck with the herbal, in fact Workingatit, I have taken Lipodrene and was taking 3 a day no problem at all, even bumped to 4 once but figured the fourth was overkill and prob not doing much at that point. Just wondering if HCL is more effective??

 

[Built]

Correct, it's the standardization of the herbal that worries me. With a lab-made chemical, you KNOW what's in it.

If your herbal has what it says it has, you're fine. If not, it's hard to titrate the dose.

I'll stick to a lab any day of the week, given the choice. Besides, it's cheaper to make your own stack, and it's the very best quality that way too.
