    ECA stack for fat loss

    2500kcal is a good starting point, but you may have to decrease calories if you aren't losing weight. I would be consistent with 2500 for 2-3 weeks and see what happens with your body weight. I weight around the same and I typically need to go aim for 2000-2100 calories during a cut. Everyone is...

    ECA stack for fat loss

    What is your current body weight? Calorie intake correlates with body weight and other factors. It's hard to say if 2500 is a good starting point without more info about yourself

    Which form of glutamine do you prefer?

    4. I wouldn't bother spending your money on extra glutamine. There are some supplements that include glutamine that I use like IntraMax (which contains L-Glutamine), but I wouldn't buy it in bulk solo.

    Oxy Max XT or Ignite for well being?

    These are both solid options. I really enjoy the mood boost I get from Oxymax. You may also want to check out NootropiMax, which is a nootropic supplement that is geared toward focus, mood, and well being

    What do your macros look like?

    Gotta love some Popeyes chicken. I'm currently transitioning into a lean bulk, so I am eating slightly above maintenance which is roughly 2700kcal. Macros come out to 200g protein, 300g carb, and 75g fat. I will continue to increase carbs as needed - slow and steady

    ECA stack for fat loss

    I wouldn't start with 3x per day. Start with 1 dose and work your way up. daywalker81 - have you been dieting prior to using the EC stack? If you are currently at 27% body fat, you shouldn't need EC to start losing weight. I would focus primarily on nutrition and exercise first before using a...

    Final 8 weeks of cut about to start...looking for some advice

    You got it man! If AY was causing problems then I would avoid FitMax as well. Better safe than sorry. Let us know how True Shred treats you. I've heard a lot of great feedback on it so I'm interested in seeing how it helps you with the end of your cut. Best of luck!

    Final 8 weeks of cut about to start...looking for some advice

    First off, congrats on your progress so far. 32 pounds is phenomenal progress. I would first make sure you're being realistic with your fat loss progress - dropping into single digit body fat is the hardest phase of cutting, and your body will fight you every step of the way. Losing 8-10 more...

    Meal Prep With A Pressure Cooker

    I use a slow cooker for chicken - takes more time but tastes great. Pressure cookers can be expensive but they do work well. I just find it easier to set up a slow cooker at night and have my food cooked perfectly the next morning

    CAN'T WIN!!!

    The reality is that you will lose muscle on a cut. If you asked most people how they felt during a cut, they would all most likely say that they feel skinny and small. But that comes with the result of losing body fat. You can't have it all. I would agree with tracking calories. If your current...

    Side Effects of ARA you’ve experienced

    Interested to hear what others have to say, but my only side effect has been extreme soreness. I've never felt anything with my heart or any other problems/sides while using ArA. How old are you?

    What’s better for you, going a night without sleep or getting 4 hours?

    You might feel better that day, but you'll pay for it over the following few days. I understand that sleep while you're studying and working can be a challenge, but I just as you make lifting a priority I would recommend an minimum of 5-6 hr. of sleep each night a priority too. Sleep and...

    CAN'T WIN!!!

    I agree with what was said above about tracking calories. Be honest with your tracking too, especially with fats. It's easy to overlook a few tbsp's of peanut butter or an extra serving of almonds if you aren't paying close attention, and those adjustments can set you 300-400calories over your...

    How does this test booster look?

    I was referring to the label that this thread is about. Just wanted to clarify that Alphamax provides quite a bit of information regarding standardization and ingredient quality. Also, 200:1 refers to the quality of the extract. The Tongkat Ali used contains a minimum of 2% Eurycomanone.

    How does this test booster look?

    Invalid Link Removed On the label you have: Mucuna Pruriens showing 98% L-DOPA (very high quality extract) Eurycoma Longifolia is a 200:1 extract (high quality standardized extract) Withania Somnifera (aka Ashwagandha) standardized with 5% withanolides (same % as KSM-66 - aka the best...

    Glad you're enjoying it and it's working well. You got it!

    Reduce XT while bulking

    10mg would be a good place to start. See if you notice anything after a few days (lowered stress, better sleep, etc.)

    I would also recommend checking out MassMax for a LBM run. Very comprehensive natural product that would stack well with laxo
