Okay my goal is really not that hard but am looking for some input from the experts. I am 5'8" 185 pounds with 12% bodyfat. I am ALMOST HAPPY with my physique. My goal is to drop about 5 pounds of fat but at the same time MAINTAIN my bodyweight. Basically I want to weight 185 with about 10% bodyfat. I MUST keep my weight up for my job. I am in law enforcement and don't want to go below my current weight. Trust me, overall bodyweight is important in police work. Plus the uniform and vest is custom fitted and even a slight weight gain or weight loss is noticeable. I have already dropped 15 pounds and that is enough!
My plan is to use a good fatburner (I am currently using Shred-XS and I have an unopened bottle of Clenbutrx when that is done) along with a good creatine pill (I have a new bottle of SIZEON tablets). My thinking is that the fatburner will help with the 5 pounds of fatloss and the creatine will put on a good 5 pounds on of water weight (ie, cell volume). Looks good on paper but do you guys think that it would work in the real world? Will the creatine and the fatburner cancel each others purposes out? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

You can take creatine sure, it probably wont do much though. Maybe a bit of LBM gain. Why not get some Branch Chain Aminos?
Perhaps some BCAA?

No. Simply no time and a really random ass schedule once OB begins. I will measure and post a significantly long review once completed.Originally Posted by Bloute

BCAA's
Dr. Doom, I am not looking to gain lean muscle. I am just looking for the cell volumizing effects of the creatine. I have as much muscle as I really want. If I were 21 again I would probably want ALOT more muscle. But at 35 I am happy with my mass and am really into the "chiseled" look.

If theres caffeine in the product, which most fat burners have, and theres creatine, and since caffeine is a diueretic wouldnt that inhibit the absorbtion of water? and if there is a decrease in osmotic pressure due to no initial increase in intercellular water wouldnt that decrease protein synthesis?

Does caffeine REALLY cause that much water loss in you? Unless you're extremely sensitive, the answer is no.Originally Posted by Bodybuilder2049
Neither Melting Point, Dicana, nor Sesamin contain caffeine, anyhow.My place in here at bb.com is as a fitness enthusiast and recommendations do not represent medical advice. Please consult your examining physician for all medical concerns.

You want to drop 2% bf but don't want to lose any weight? Be realistic here.
Focus on losing the fat and then put it back on in lean body mass.Don't Support Companies that are suing me!!
