Background: I am very insensitive to stimulants. I've been a real caffeine abuser in the past. I had read good things about Yohimbine, most notably [Search google for "yohimbine soccer" because I can't post links] . I gave it a shot as a step-up pre-workout stimulant. I have used it 3 times.
6'3'', 190#. BF% 12-17, 7 months lifting experience. (Calipers come in the mail today.) Currently bulking.:bb3: I was hoping that the YHCL would help the bulk stay clean, AKA nutritional repartitioning.
1. Dosage: Unknown. Finger scraping edge of plastic bag containing YHCL, licking of finger. (OK, unscientific.)
Results: Negligible feelings, possible weak diuretic effect, comparable to caffeine. Most likely placebo.
2. Dosage: 25mg.
Results: Elevated blood pressure. Warm sensation in thorax. Higher heart rate. Workout at the gym caused mild headaches. Possibly due to electrolyte imbalance or blood pressure. Felt MUCH better after a workout.
3. Dosage: 60mg
Results: Seriously reduced aerobic capacity. Blood pressure sky high. Temperature up. Sweating all day. No amount of deodorant would help. Nausea. Warming sensation all over body. Most especially in the abdomen. As time went on, the side effects grew worse. Anxiety. Easily angered. Up all night due to sweating.
At my workout, I got painful pumps in my forearms doing even lighter weights.
Drank water like crazy. I'd drink 1.5L and pee 3x+ an hour.
Blood pressure still elevated to 143/79 @83BPM days afterward. For reference, last December, when I gave blood, it was 117/60 @ <60BPM.
I have gained weight since then, including significant fat, but I don't know how much BF affects BP.
Pupils dilated.
Summary:
Don't take too much!
Don't take too much!
Don't take too much!
It seems to work wonderfully at shedding fat.
I would not use this on a bulk (like I tried.) This is because of the nausea, reduced training efficiency, loss of electrolytes, and general dehydration.
Hope it helps- I will log the actual supplement in the future during a cut. I would take this PWO in order to shuttle nutrients effectively/increase inflammatory response.
