HELP /// I started taking Oxy Elite Pro on Friday.....

[lilbill80]

So far I am at one pill in the morning. Tomorrow I start with one in the morning and another six hours later. I have a few questions. 1) I noticed my heart rate has increased through out the day. During cardio, my HR is around 168, however, after taking OEP my HR was around 179. Is it normal to jump like that. 2) What will it be like taking the second pill? 3) How will taking my pre-workout formula effect my HR with OEP in my system? I guess what I am asking is at what point should I worry that I am putting too much stress on my heart.

Of course it's normal for your heart rate to increase on stims, especially several of them at once. How about you don't take a pre-workout and use your 2nd OEP as that instead? Just avoid HIIT and do your cardio at a rate that doesn't have your heart feeling like it's jumping out your chest.

How much increase in HR is tolerable? Is this supp a stim because of the caffeine or other ingredients? Thanks for the advice.

It has caffeine, 1,3 Dimeth and alpha-yohimbine which are each stimulants. Everyone's heart is different as to what it can tolerate but one method of calculating your maximum heart rate (which you shouldn't work at unsupervised) is to subtract your age from 200 so yours would be 190. You don't want to reach that. There are various guidelines but 75%-85% of your max heart rate (143-162 for you) is roughly as high as you want to go so just adjust the intensity of your cardio to suit that.

Read here for more on the subject including the Karvonen Formula calculator which is more complex than the simple 200-age one: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/moser9.htm

This is all stuff you should have researched BEFORE you bought OEP. You obviously do not understand what you are taking at all. You aren't even aware of the fact that OEP contains caffeine and 1,3 dimeth. Both are stims and should NOT be taken with any other stims (preworkouts are a nono).
