Best Fat Loss Protocol

After my DNP cycle, to be covered soon, something else fell into my lap.  After some serious research and tweaking, I was amazed at the results.

I had been taking Helios (Injectible Clenbuterol and Yohimbine) along with a few peptides and I saw tremendous water shedding at first, but then striations and definition that stayed when I was off of clen, and I was feeling great the whole time.  The key drugs for this protocol were:

• Melanotan 2, low daily dosage (125-250mcg each morning)
• MK677 (15-25mg/day)
• Helios 
• CJC1295 w/ DAC, 5mg spread out over 1 month

Melanotan is a significant agonist of melanocortin receptors which have a bizarre array of effects, from prosocial behaviors to appetite control and suppression. This fully negated the hunger from MK677 and is below the threshold that causes intestinal distress like many people see. 

With the high growth hormone from MK677 combined with the ability to fast while using it, that alone is pretty fantastic. When combined with CJC1295, you get the "bleed" type release of growth hormone, which contrary to popular belief is not bad, along with the 12 spikes per day of MK677. 

With these above, you will do pretty well, but given that you are already fasting and have high GH levels, the best thing to add would be some effective stimulants.  Enter: Helios. 

Injecting clenbuterol is much more effective mcg for mcg, so a dose would be lower than oral by a factor of 4 to start with.  The Yohimbine is a perfect combination with this, so Helios works on beta and alpha adrenergic receptors so fat mobility is massively increased. 

The changes I got from this were the kind you notice every 2 days, you're full of energy all the time and your appetite is so low you're able to choose what you eat with excellent control. 

Adaptogen Supplements in MMA

During this hiatus I've stopped lifting and taken up MMA, primarily jiu jitsu/submission grappling.

I have narcolepsy, so recovery and focus is a tremendous challenge for me, but I realized after a short time how well-equipped I was for dealing with these challenges through chemical aids and natural supplements.

My first thought was to go back to Rhodiola rosea, which has always drawn out tremendous focus and motivation for me in proper doses. This falls under the adaptogen category of supplements. My muscles seemed to recover faster and my perceived rate of exertion during training seemed to be tremendously reduced. Naturally, this wasn't enough for me.

Looking further into options that go well with Rhodiola, I settled on Cordyceps powder and Ashwaghanda, both well known to have pro-cognitive and athletically beneficial effects, especially Cordyceps with it's renowned boost in endurance.

The trouble at first was high quality sourcing(done after a few tries) and a delivery method, since shoveling 3g of powder into my mouth every morning became unattractive very quickly.

Right now I'm looking at turning this into a product with a few other ingredients, but interest trends are low so I'm looking into pivoting on this to better options.

Still, never stop innovating your own biology; you'll have it til you die.

BCF

GW501516

In the world of fitness drugs, goals can be condensed well enough into 3 categories that drugs aim to impact: endurance, muscularity, and fat mass. I used some problem solving techniques often found in business to decide what goal I wanted to devote a sizeable amount of my research budget to.  During that thought experiment, I realized that building endurance in a way that takes you from novice to functional athlete would be a massive value to me, much more than another 50 pounds on my squat or another 4-6 pounds of muscle.  Having settled on my goal of compressing a massive mount of cardio progress into a nearly effortless month, and as a bonus, seeing mild fat mass reduction, I decided to personally research GW501516. 

This drug brought itself a lot of controversy after trials in rats showed it is massively carcinogenic, and to this day fearmongers and supplement peddlers decry its usage, warning people that they will surely die horrible if they take this.  That stance has more than a few glaring problems, the biggest of which is as follows:

If it causes cancer in humans on a scale comparable to its effects in rats, then where is the cancer? Where are the tumor-ridden recreational users?

Plenty of info explaining why this is nothing to fear is available on the Internet, but to sum it all up, this particular PPAR pathway works totally different in humans than it does in rats. Also, the method of detecting cancer was flawed, incredibly flawed. From the abstract I read, their way of deciding what cells were cancerous was along the lines of testing if something was wet and deciding that if it is wet, then it must be water.  They only observed a certain kind of cell activity, one that GW1516 stimulates.  There may well not even be cancer causing side effects in rats either.

I got good and lazy and at like a slob for a short time, a gross high-everything diet as far as my macros. My resting heart rate was 73 a week ago.  Last night, 4 doses of 10mg, my resting heart rate was 65-66.  I wake up full of energy, my sleep pattern is much more stable and I feel more rested after any given amount of sleep.

If cardio kills you and you need to get good at it in a hurry, drop $40 on some GW.

New Project - SARMs, Steroids, and more

New contributor here.  I have several cycles of SARMs and designer steroids under my belt already, and I'd like to share that knowledge with anyone who comes across this blog.

First, a short explanation of SARMs:
In many of the cells that make up your body, there are "androgen receptors" floating around, waiting to find something to bind to them, to trigger androgenic expression, which can occur in many ways; muscle growth, bone growth, hair growth, hair loss, and many other ways.

SARMs are a class of drug that Selectively interacts with (Modulates) the Androgen Receptors that bring about skeletal muscle growth, avoiding as many side effects as possible by way of reduced binding affinity in certain types of cells, and enhanced expression in other cells.  Ergo, SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator)

A traditional tetracyclic steroid structure fits too readily into receptors, so for most SARMs, that has been abandoned. A deviant molecular structure isn't necessary though.  Some lists count tren as a SARM because of its high androgenicity in muscles and fat, but its negligible impact on prostate growth and health markers.

As you already know, biologically there is no free lunch: good effects come with drawbacks.  However, this class of drug has the highest benefit ratio of any I've ever seen.  In individual writeups I'll be forthcoming with warnings of side effects, but they're all so transient and mild that being honest causes skepticism.

These drugs vs steroids, you can guess that the effects will be less dramatic than a cycle of testosterone, but the unparalleled safety in their use brings them back on the table for anyone who wants to hit their genetic limit quickly and maintain themselves there.


Since these are commercially available in most of the world, and steroids aren't, I'll be explaining these first.

Apology

I'm extremely sorry to all of you that I haven't kept up with this.  I could make any number of excuses about other thing I've been doing or devoting effort to (School, Work, Dark Souls) but that isn't acceptable when I committed in some way to give you direct information.
I want to make a long, thorough write-up on Noopept as soon as possible, I need to finish compiling other experiences from around the internet.  Its very powerful and should be used well, perhaps nearly as sparingly as phenylpiracetam.  Not because it has particularly harmful side effects, but because it can easily turn into a crutch.  Current dose not working? Just take more.  Blasting your brain with NGF is not a good strategy if you have to continuously learn or build on your knowledge.  Also in the works is Sunifiram.  Dosing e3d is fantastic for me.

Just to give you something to think about, this time of year is the beginning of cutting season for many of you.  In between now and the end of May, You can lose 25 pounds of fat without too much drastic dieting or masochism and retain nearly all your muscle mass(catabolism is overblown anyway).  You can do a bit more with cutting aids.
But many people don't like stimulants, or the thought of wearing diapers like many "calorie blocking" supplements require, as their method of action leaves fat undigested so a greasy mess slides through your digestive tract.  You'll wreck your hormones and your jeans.
Something to make me fuller faster is what I wanted.  The appetite suppressing effects of ephedrine were negligible to me, but I stumbled upon glucomannan when i was looking around.  This is the perfect supplement if food impulses are whats hurting your fat loss.
Glucomannan is an ingredient in some weight loss products, but buying it by that method is economically senseless.  I bought off amazon, its about $11 for a 3 month supply from NOW nutrition, who are pretty reliable in terms of quality, especially for a supplement company. Use whoever you want though, I have no sponsorship deals.
2 of these capsules, a little over a gram in powder, cut my appetite by an estimated 40-60%.  you'll lose weight quite easily in any environment where you can control your portion sizes.

Again, I'm sorry for the absence.

Phenibut - Health Supplement Wholesalers

Phenibut is one of the best known anti-anxiety supplements, and many users describe it as the most effective they have ever tried.

Phenibut is a GABAergic drug like alcohol or GHB, though its hardly recreational.  It takes effect in 3-4 hours and leaves a nice smooth buzz that lingers, even into the next day.  You wont get high on it, there is no impairment, just a mildly sedated, happy mood.

Because of the volume of an effective dose (750-2000mg) I prefer to dissolve it in water with a dose of inositol.  These seem to have a euphoric synergy thats quite pleasant.

However, I'd be irresponsible if I didn't warn you of the nature of GABAergic drugs.  They are habit forming, and once a habit forms, you will get withdrawal symptoms.  As phenibut is too weak to be anything more than practical, withdrawal is very mild but still possible..  Keeping use to once or twice a week lets your receptors regulate back to regular sensitivity so you can continue to use.

I mentioned the supplier in the article name because I wasn't even intending to test phenibut at first,  but while on their website they had a sale so convincing I felt stupid not to buy.  Many of the common supplements I own and test have come from there, and that's why I've listed them in the sidebar since this site's inception

L Theanine

A bit underwhelming compared to inositol or picamilon, but theanine comes without the emotional effects of either.

L Theanine is the other half of the study stack of choice for many users.  It gives a calm focus that stacks well with a stimulant such as caffeine in an equal dose.  Because of the myriad of substances I use, this doesn't do much that another substance wont do, but if you have racing thoughts throughout the day or trouble concentrating on mental tasks, then theanine absolutely can help you.

This post is so short because its really one of the more plain substances.  No interesting interactions besides the commonly recommended study stack of pairing it with caffeine, and often times piracetam or similar.
Cheap, and best bought in bulk.  Its an extremely fine powder with a slightly sweet taste.

I definitely recommend it to those with general anxiety or symptoms of stress.  However, it doesn't work well at all for those suffering from social anxiety.

Rather than giving those people what is often an equally-crippling drug-crutch I wish they would just put them on a reasonable program of TRT.


Next time:  Suggested use of Yohimbine HCL: what to take along with it, precautions, etc.  Winter is coming, and some of us may be cutting still.
