As title says, didn't like it so much this time around. I've tried it last summer and went through 2 tubs and liked it much more then. I felt it a lot more I think. I did have good results though, but I'd like to attribute that more to my training and diet. Anyways my second tub is almost empty and I'm thinking of trying something new. Any good recommendations aside from clen and EC?

Give Norcodrene a look. Reviews have been coming back with positive feedback.

If you felt it more last time you ran it, you might need a stim break. The formula is basically the same (even if you tried the old version with aegeline), so if you didn't feel it as much, you have probably developed a tolerance to the stims in it. Norcodrene is getting great reviews but it won't have the kick you seem to be looking for. I would take a break from all stims for a few weeks and then try alphamine again.

You could also try Stimul8 (I think that's the name...Finaflex makes it). People say that it is crazy strong, although I don't know if the formula is as good as alphamine for fat burning (that's not hinting that it isn't...I honestly don't know).

Tyler is correct. Feeling a stimulant is not necessarily indicative of it working. It is common for people to believe this and constantly ramp up their stimulant intake.

Agreed with the above me. If you wish to feel the stimulant effects that Alphamine previously provided, then I would cycle off of stims for 4 weeks then go back to it.

like r1pp said, dexaprine is a good choice...especially stimulant wise

i'm also taking albuterex right now, it's not the best but for the price it's worth a look....also didn't receive desired results with alphamine

If you looking for high stim and burn I would look at level II. If you want a lower stim ( as stated above stim effect does not always mean working) try volatile for great pump and clean energy.

Check out stimulant-X by AX. you will definitely feel it working ;) or stimul8. Both are good choices.

I would also look into omega shred-XT I haven't used that one yet but omega is always good quality.

If you liked it before, then there is probably something else different in your training./nutrition this time around.

How stimulating is norcodrene?
Most would agree that it is less stimulating than alphamine but more than Alpha T2. It wont have the same kick as alphamine because it's a pill but the energy might be more steady and sustained. This is going from reviews tho I haven't tried it.

Agree with posters above. Dexaprine and stimul8 both strong stims.

Stimulant x always intrigued me for that stim feel

Stimul8 is average as, comes on strong, lasts for like 30 mins

Norcodrene energy is slower and smoother than Alphamine for me but has stronger appetite suppression.

Sounds about right. I might go for it after giving A-T2 a run.

I was using twice the water amount recommended and adding water flavour enhancers until it was bearable

Why does everyone assume the strength of stimulation = fat loss? That is silly. Are you after fat loss from your fat burner? Or are you just looking for a caffeine pill?

This. Irks me every time someone thinks a supplement doesn't work because they font feel it working.

Did they physically feel the adipose formation? No.., why should you feel it being lost then.
If you want a stim use caffeine I agree.

Add AT2 or AaV2 to a good diet, the fat melts off easier, no stim required.

I didnt like albuterex at all. Horrible taste and horrible crash

Alphamine was tasty but I didnt have the results I really wanted to.
Dexaprine XR is strong and in pill form, which I like, and it works like a charm

Even though it's not a stim forskolin would be a very good example of this. Only way I know it's working is the sheetz I get

If you think that stimulation = fat loss, go drink 4 venti starbucks per day for your fat loss supplement.

If you want fat loss from your fat burners, use fat burners designed to burn fat. Not just stuffed with caffeine.

Also to the OP in this thread, I suggested reading to Coops Corner on Alpha-antagonists. It will explain why even though you may not "feel" the stimulation from a product as much after 8 weeks of use, this does not been it has become any less effective.

I just mentioned this in another thread:

To focus on belly fat I would look into hitting three general pathways.

Alpha-2-antagonism - to shut off the fat storing receptors in your troubled spots

Beta-agonism - to synergizes with these shut off receptors and increase fat loss throughout your whole body as well as in your troubled spots

Glucose/insulin - you may be holding some fat there from your bulk due to some heavy or dirty carbing.

Options:

For Alpha antagonism and beta agonism, both Alphamine and Norcodrene contain our trademarked SA2-A ingredient and Higenamine, which target the mentioned pathways

Norcodrene has ingredients with GDA potential as well, and/or you could stack with a dedicated GDA product like Recompadrol and take it with meals

You would be hitting three major pathways to target your belly fat this way. Obviously the stack would go beyond just that, but that would be your three main targets.

You may also choose to stack the above with Forskolin-95. This is a very popular fat loss add on because of it's thyrogenic potential and it's synergy when used with beta-agonists

Yeah, you have a point there, and I did say I saw good results, just didn't get that euphoric feeling I had the first time I used it.. But why not both stimulation and fat loss?

Well the loss of stimulation on your recent run was clearly due to tolerance build up. This does not mean the product was any less effective though.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1963844

An example of this shown in yohimbine there.

You could add more caffeine to it if you want to try to increase the stimulation. But you will just be increasing your tolerance to stimulants even more by doing that

This brings a good point. During one of my 'extended' runs of Alphamine I ran several tubs in a row (we never recommend this) prior to a photo shoot. The stimulant effect had worn of significantly but the fat loss continued.

I hate the feeling of overstimulation, so a fat burner that elicits a moderate energy boost is more welcomed than a high stim one (my preworkout typically consist of 200mg caffeine tops).

Agreed. I hate working out when I'm overstimulated, ruins my workout.
