Yohimbine Dosing Scenario - What is better?

Let's assume I am taking the full dose of yohimbine. What is a better scenario that would provide the most "fat loss"?

A) taking the full dose first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and no food for 2 hours, but not doing any exercise afterwards (e.g., sitting at a desk).

B) eating a large pre-workout meal (lots of carbs), lifting weights for about 1-1.5 hours, and then taking the full dose of yohimbine about 20 minutes before cardio at the end of the lifting session.
 
Taking on an empty stomach and doing cardio 20-30 mins later... Even going for a "brisk" walk for a half an hour... Yohimbine is a fat releaser (in stubborn areas, e.g. abs/love-handles), especially when taken with caffeine. I take 7.5-10 mgs with coffee in the am fasted to start the fat releasing process... If you do some exercise then eat but remain in a caloric deficit for the day, you will see dramatic results in a couple weeks
 
I've taken yohimbine with caffeine upon waking, fasted for 3 hours at a moderately active job. It caused me to drop weight pretty well. Probably more muscle loss than I'd like though.

Try adding HMB... That's what I've been doing the past couple months and my lifts are going up... It's good sh*t

What kind of HMB are you using? FA? I was under the impression that HMB was more anti catabolic than anabolic. Same with hica.

Option B.
 
i would opt for an option B because you shouldn't have an insulin spike at the point to negate yohimbine but are still getting in the exercise that's needed for the yohimbine to help release the fat.

So if I do 2 caps Norco + 2 caps yohimbine first thing in the morning like I said in scenario A, you're saying it would be best to save this dose for halfway when I'm done lifting which is about 30 mins before cardio? I guess the exercise negates all of the pre-workout food I ate?

Y is going to be most effective prior to physical activity (cardio).

It still has effect even if dosed empty stomach with no activity, but for maximal benefits, option b (2 caps Norco + Y) would be best.
 
Interesting.. Guess my third dose of EC will only have to be E and I'll save the 2 caps Norco (for caffeine) + yohimbine for about 1 hour into my workout and prior to cardio!

Thanks!

E isn't going to have any benefit if no C is present.

I'm taking FA. It is more anti-catabolic, which is why I suggest you take it with yohimbine if you think that you lost LBM when you were taking it fasted before work. My lifts went up as a result of taking PA and HMB.. They didn't go up much (10 lbs on flat bench) but at least I know that I'm not losing LBM while in ~300 cal deficit..
 
Check out this article on creating a good fat burning stack... I used it and lost around 50 lbs (lol I was a fat f*ck). Next time I set up a stack like this I'm gonna use Follidrone Instead of green tea, add in forskolin and HMB.

Yeah, I'd delete that link.

Okay cool so I can just take yohimbine during my lift session but ~20 mins before cardio at the end. Cool.

But how about this: what if I take Xtend BCAAs intra workout? Is there a certain time beforehand I need to wait to take yohimbine, or since because I'm lifting I can take my BCAAs like 10 mins before yohimbine and it won't mess it up?

No. BCAA won't cause any negative effect on Y simply due to the fact that exercise blunts insulin release as it raises your levels of epinephrine.

Interesting. Didn't know it was so instantaneous... guess I won't worry about the BCAAs interfering and just make sure I take my yohimbine prior to cardio. Thanks!
 
How about PA (15g soy lecithin granules so like 105 calories, 8g fats and 1g carbs) and yohimbine? If I take PA 30 mins pre-workout, will this shut down yohimbine's effects?

Any way to handle this if so?

Probably not. Fat has such a small effect on insulin release that it can be ignored for practical purposes.

The guy who does the diet for the Scivation studies recommends a spoonful of peanut butter before training as he claims that it increases fat utilization during exercise. He does not even count this towards the daily calorie total.

If you are still hesitant, you can take Tr1umph 2-3 hours before the gym. It is still optimal for PA.
 
You could take PA post workout too, fwiw.

Or you could do what Distilled suggested.

Wake up earlier - take YC. Do fasted cardio. Then take triumph and ArA and be good to go. Everybody wins

I literally set my alarm with all pre cardio supps next to.my bed, take them and go back to sleep for 20ish minutes then wake up and roll.

That's good to know. I might just bring some triumph to the gym and pound it before I hit the elliptical, then lift after.
