I'm not a fan of Lipo 6 (did absolutely nothing for me) and I'm leary of taking NO products with anything at all other than straight anti-oxidants; so... I'm not gonna touch the first question.
Creatine and fat burners, however, I'd say to stay away from it. Sounds like you are trying to gain muscle while burning fat. Classic trap most people fall into. You want muscle, you need excess calories to use as building blocks for it. You want to lose weight, you want a caloric deficit to force your body into a catabolic state, thereby burning fat deposits for fuel. Trying to bulk while also trying to cut will leave you with dissatisfying results, every time.
The one thing I REALLY don't like about the fat burner/creatine combo is that you are playing games with your body's fluids. Most fat burners work through thermogenesis... in other words, they raise your body temperature as a result of the increase in the metabolic rate. This would lead to increased water loss through sweating. Even a bigger issue if you are taking a fat burner with a diuretic, like Animal Cuts (good product... just using one I know has diuretic in it for a point). Now you are throwing creatine on top of that, which has heavy affects on the movement of water into muscle cells, thereby drawing it out of other systems. The two products together [i]could[/i] have adverse affects on some of those systems. Your body, in other words, will dehydrate.
Don't take my advice as bashing any product(s). Just know that the aforementioned combo might not be the best idea. It'd be far better to bulk with the creatine, get off it, then follow that by a cut with the fat burner.
I have been using lipo 6 for almost 5 weeks. With a pretty strict diet and a exercise plan i've lost 23 pounds but i dont think i can feel any effects of lipo6 anymore. Maybe my tolerance got higher or something... but after i finish my 8 weeks of taking lipo 6 ill probably switch to lipo 6x. We will see if i could continue with the results. I was even thinking about hydroxycut hardcore but i guess ill stick with that lipo 6x after 8 weeks. What you all think?
Zero G is a supplement that I was very surprised about. In good ways ofcourse. I know universal supplements are very good[IMG]https://thegrindersgame.com/co/34/b/happy.gif[/IMG]

I am considering Lipo 6x, Cellucor D4 Thermal Shock or REDuction for my cut starting mid april. What would be best for getting me down from around 14%BF with proper diet and a LOT of cardio 5 days a week and lifting? I am on a CL stack of WF, Green MAG, PW.
Also, would GM hinder my cutting goals or should I drop it during my cut?

GM is great on a cut. REDuction would be a great choice since you are on white flood as its only 1 stim dose (am) per day. you can also try a free sample.
So basically I was thinking of running my supplements something like this
8am 2 am reduction pills and 1 pack mcuts animal pack 1 pack animal vitamins
eat 30 minutes after
4pm 1 pack mcuts animal pack 1 pack animal pack vitamins
subway 30 minutes later ( Its quick because Im on a tight schedule coming from school ( chicken sub loaded veges foot long )
gym 5ish
2pm pills reduction before sleep
there's more to the diet and protein shakes, but basically I was curious what your guys opinion would be on the stacking of the reduction and mcuts..
alot of over the counter supplements are weak and a waste of money, thats why I prefer stacking them heavlying, otherwise I might as well use some tren and winny to get REAL results.
I also have alot of stuff laying around here from now foods
coq 10
L-glutamine
Fish oil 3-6-9
multi vitamins
zma
purple wrath and green mag also from controlled labs, stuff I dont use just taking up space. Well I do use the L-glutamine and should probably start taking the Fish oil. I just havent got around to it. I seem to buy stuff and Im using other stuff and I just pack on "stock" for later...
So can reduction be used along with size on and sp250. I personally dont wana switch from those but wana try the reduction.
Just started a cycle of Mitotropin today, stacking with Arimatest. Also taking Kre Alkalyn Creatine capsules and picking up some protein power tomorrow, any reccomendations?
Just started taking Bioquest BetaStax. It's a thermogenic with stims so if you're afraid of feeling a little hyper, it's not for you. I'm 5'11" 195 LBS looking to cut down from 20% body fat to a more comfortable 8%. I will keep posting and let everyone know my results.
how do you guys feel about taking Optimum CGT and Lipo 6x together during a cutting phase ? Some say mixing creating and fat burners is not a good idea...
[QUOTE=DerekB;3262563]Not to derail the thread, but in my opinion these fat-burners are a waste of your money.
All it takes to melt off fat is these two things:
#1. Diet. What you eat is 80% of bodybuilding / health. Your calorie intake should be about 85-90% of what you need to maintain your size.....and if you do #2, your body will use its fat stores for energy. Make sure you are eating CLEAN, and take out high carb meals like spaghetti to reduce your calorie intake to the proper amount.
#2. Cardio. Can't burn off fat without doing cario (at least not at any decent rate). You should get a heart rate monitor and do cardio at 65-75% of your max heart rate (which you should get a doctor to test, since the 220-age can be a fair amount off). This heart rate area (60-80% in actuality, but find your own best area within) is what you need to burn off fat.
3x 45min-1hr cardio days a week, and 15mins max of light cardio after your weights for a few months, and you will see it melt off like butter. (so long as you also eat better, and maintain a slightly lower than needed calorie intake).
Stairmasters and Stationary bikes (ones where you are sitting up high, knees only slightly bent) are two of the best ones I've used for burning off fat.
Fat Burners can give you a very small percentage increase in your fat burning, but 98% of it comes from your diet (IE: foods).[/QUOTE]
If your gonna compete though or want to lose water weight fat burners can help. Although, there are natural diretics out there, these just seem to do the job much faster.

I just ordered my REDuction after trying my sample.
I have a couple of questions:
I wake up at 5:15 and immediately have my preWO meal. I'm usually at the gym at 5:45 and there until 7:30. Is it ok to take the AM pills when I get back from the gym and 30 mins before my post-WO meal?
Also, I eat my dinner pretty much right before bed, is it ok to take the PM pills with food?
Thanks!
got a 30 day supply last tuesday and i am using it with animal pump..seems to be doing its job so far on the thermogenic part...def sweat more in the weightroom, buts thats to come with water uptake..will see how it really does after the month is up!

Great! Lets see some pics :)
need some help in this area... tried hydroxycut, VPX redline, Hot-Rox, Hot-Rox xtrme, SAN tight!, Basic Cuts and countess others, and they all suck. some actually made me more tired. The only thing that works well for me is Thermogenisis but its choc full of ephedra so... um... if I had to choose Id say hot-rox xtreme and 2 red bulls worked the best of the non-ephedra fat burners lol.

looking forward to your feedback :)
I am just finishing my first month of reduction and I love it! Can I continue with another month using reduction or do I need to take time off?
with so many to choose from why did no one make a poll!?!?!?! theres just so many to choose i cant decide! am on lipo 6 but its WANK!!! hasnt done anything for me. am on nutrex anabol too + no xplode
[QUOTE=CompoundIntrest;291086761]I am just finishing my first month of reduction and I love it! Can I continue with another month using reduction or do I need to take time off?[/QUOTE]
yup, 2 months straight then 2 weeks off all stims. during the off period you can still take the PM pills, which is one of the reasons we sell it separately as well.
what kind of results have you had so far?

poll can only have so many choices and doesnt account for new products
so i want to get a fat burner, i have a lot of tummy fat. i'm 6 foot and weigh 206. about 2 months agao i was 225, and lost it all just by running and eating right. i think i'm ready for some aide. THere are way to many things on the market! I need help! What you you recommend. I started taking meltdown in the am, and NO xplode just prior to WO. are there any other magical substances out there?
my girlfriend also wants to lose weight but she never hits the gym, what product do you recommend for her, she has changed her diet tremendesly to lose some weight but needs an aide as well.

does she workout at all?
my fave so far is animal cuts. i'm currently on gaspari's mitotropin, still have quite a bit left and diet hasn't been as clean as it should have been. but i'm back on the diet track, so we'll see. i'm gonna give it a fair shot, that's for sure.

Good to hear you had great results with Animal Cuts
[QUOTE=ophelia53;292831151]does she workout at all?[/QUOTE]
I been dragging her in lately a lot of cardio and core workout, would animal cuts work for her?
[QUOTE=vasken-emile;292828971]i began using hydroxicut hardcore, i just want to make sure, can i at the same time take supplements to gain only muscle weight.. will they cancel each other or something...[/QUOTE]
They will not cancel each other out. The hydroxycut hardcore will aid in fat loss, not muscle loss, unless you're not taking in enough calories and protein then you will not gain any muscle. Also, gaining muscle in general is the most potent thing you can do to burn more fat anyways, the hydroxycut hardcore will just help speed that fat loss up a bit more. If you're looking to really pack on mass then I would not take the fat burner, but otherwise I would say for sure go for it!
Just started Bioquest Betastax two weeks ago. Anybody out there on it currently or taken it in the past. Workin pretty well for me so far. I have pre pics on my profile and will add progress pics. Just lookin for somebody else out there on it.
just started on rippedfreak. i'm happy with it. felt like i was on speed the first couple of days.
a Poll would be great. I have gone through several pages and there are just so many products to pick from and a few repeats. Top 10-20 would be great, especially since it doesnt seem to coincide with bb.com top purchased products.
I have been on Lipo-6 and it has helped me lean out somewhat but I am still stuck with some love handles. I am pretty lean throughout except my midsection (the handles). I am 6'1 196lbs. I am at the gym 4-5 times a week with regular 30 min cardio. Heavy lifting. Diet is on lockdown, except with a few meals on weekends. I want to try another fatburner and I am stuck between
-Animal Cuts
-Hydroxycut Hardcore

Keep in mind that diet and training will have the most impact on your fat loss. With that said if you are considering Animal Cuts, it's the # 3 best selling fat burner here on bb.com, it flat out works.
Here is feedback on it:

I would have to say Lipo 6X and a healthy diet.
ive taken a few fat burners and had some good results with hydroxycut and reduction. lipo6x was ok. im looking for a fat burner that has a real good appetite suppressant. any suggestions?
on a side note.
last year dropped 20 lbs in 2 months with hydroxycut hardore and have lost about 10-12 pounds with reduction this past month. currently down to 208. IM 6'1".
After coming down from 330 to 235 i tried out hydroxycut hardcore to get some extra help and it seemed like it did a decent job, lost about 10 lbs throughout the month of december.
I've been taking REDuction now tho and this is definitly where its at. I'm down to 207 and have been shedding like a snake the past 2 months. Only thing wierd i noticed was at some times even after finishing a meal im still starving. Other times a simple yogurt and banana will do the trick. Dunno maybe its the metabolism changing.
Either way, definitly recommended. On a side note the PM caps make sleep really interesting to say the least.. i get a solid 6-8 hours everytime but oh man the dreams are intense.
A lot of you guys mention results in pounds. I think I am good poundwise. Between
ANIMAL Cuts
Hydroxycut Hardcore
REDuction
Which of these products works best in showing physical shedding/cutting results? I am trying to get something that will trim/cut down my midsection area. I have these pain in the a$$ love handles that wont go away and I have a strict diet with 4-5 workout days with cardio and heavy lifting.
Which is best for ridding stored bodyfat? The ultimate cutting supplement.
I just oredered my first thing of REDuction, can't wait to try it out!

You can't pick and choose where your body loses fat, it's in your genetics.
i got free rippedfreak samples by going to rippedfreak.com and emailing them my mailing address. took about 1 week
lean xtreme is amazing. got two more bottles of the new formula, and a months supply of REDuction and im stacking those together starting sunday
