water retention?
hi all I have been running alphat2 + EC stack for about 8 days now.
I started @ 5'9 200lbs (25%ish bf) and have been losing fat according to my mirror but the scale has been the same..(dead on 200)
any chance that alphat2 is also causing water retention? (500-700 calorie deficit btw) - 08-23-2010, 10:21 PM
As I always tell people...the mirror is equally as important, especially if you're working out.
Keep it going for a few more days and check back inHIGH VOLUME - Supreme Stim-Free Nitric Oxide Matrix
SELECT Protein - Ultra-Premium Blend
ALPHAMINE - Thermogenics...Redefined -

someone just bought up issues with alpha-yohimbine and water retention recently.
if i were you i wouldnt worry toooo much about the scale. the mirror and measurements is what counts.
once your cycle is over, monitor your weight and if it drops in a few days you will know it was in fact water retention.
everyone may respond differently when it comes to supplements, so sometimes these things are hard to answer.This message was paid for by the Russians - 08-24-2010, 12:16 AM

Not the OP but personally I am OCD about diet and water retention. Genetics from hell and insane determination to overcome them means you notice slight changes...
I also take a prescription diuretic and keep both salt and water intake high to increase sodium flushing. I noticed something for sure. This sin;t a deal breaker and many people will not notice it because they will be losing fat anyway. I definitely think the product has science behind it and is solid. I am playing around with it on and off different weeks to see if I am losing muscle, glycogen or fat (or all 3). - 08-24-2010, 12:03 PM
Fluid balance goes beyond diet, training, and supplementation and yes, alpha-Y can cause some slight water retention.

Never noticed any water retention myself with alpha-y, I do notice some water retention in the mid section with regular YHCI.
