My Yohimbine HCL Pulse Experiment Week 5 - Hovering at 212 lbs



7 Days

30 Days

90 Days


Source: myfitnesspal.com tracking.

No need to chart as my weight has not changed for a second week. Even though I am fasting in the mornings, I will probably need to cut my calories and up my cardio. The first week I was able to do morning fasted cardio but have not the next four weeks.

Normal protocol:
How to Take


Recommended dosage, active amounts, other details


Dosages of 0.2mg/kg bodyweight have been successfully used to increase fat burning without significant implications on cardiovascular parameters like heart rate and blood pressure. This results in a dosage of:


14 mg for a 150lb person
18 mg for a 200lb person
22 mg for a 250lb person


Supplementation is most effective between meals or during short term fasting.


Caution should be exercised at higher body weight, since the cardiovascular system may not be prepared to handle a stimulatory agent such as yohimbine. When supplementing yohimbine for the first time, always start with a half-dose and assess tolerance before proceeding.


Caution should also be exercised since many supplements containing yohimbine either do not list how much yohimbine is included, or if they do, the actual dose ranges from 25-150% of the dose listed. Since the dosage may be higher than listed, this is extra reason to start with a lower dose.
When pairing yohimbine with other stimulatory agents, half-dose both supplements and work up to the recommended dose cautiously, as two supplements can interact negatively.



My Yohimbine HCL Pulse Experiment Week 4 - Plateau Slowly Breaking

So I decided to try something I saw in a Alex Kikel youtube video. Intermittent fasting combined with yohimbine hcl.

I fasted for as long as I could stand it every day and took 2.5 mg of Primaforce Yohimbine HCL every two hours.  The weight loss was drastic but I have no idea how much is water, muscle and fat.

Zhou Nutrition - Thyroid Support Complex With Iodine - Energy, Metabolism & Focus Formula



Symptoms of an Underactive Thyroid:

- Weight gain
- Depression
- Dry skin & hair
- Feeling tired or fatigued
- Joint pain
- Aches, pain or stiffness
- Increased sensitivity to cold

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Research with Zhou Nutrition's Thyroid Support

L-Tyrosine
An amino acid that plays a key role in the production of the thyroid hormones Thyroxine and Triiodothyronine. Some individuals are unable to naturally produce sufficient levels of L-Tyrosine and must obtain it from outside sources.

Iodine
Plays a vital role in the formation of thyroid hormones. Both Kelp and Bladderwrack provide naturally occurring levels of iodine.

Schizandra and Ashwagandha
These herbs have been used for centuries in Chinese Tradition. They are thought to have a beneficial impact on individuals with an underactive thyroid.

Cayenne
Spice known for its potential benefits in helping to increase circulation ensuring that essential nutrients are effectively distributed throughout the body.

Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium and Zinc
Essential minerals crucial for the production of thyroid hormones and thyroid function.

Vitamin B-12
Plays several extremely important roles in the body, including normal thyroid function.

Pure Science AE-3 Chrysin with DIM & Stinging Nettle Root Extract – Natural Aromatase Inhibitor & Estrogen Blocker for Men




From the manufacturer of SD-200 Tongkat Ali Extract comes a unique supplement - AE-3. Men’s sex drive gradually declines with age due to hormonal imbalances of testosterone and estrogen. This imbalance is caused by aromatase, an enzyme involved in the production of estrogen that acts by catalyzing the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

The Pure Science Supplements – AE-3 Chrysin with Stinging Nettle Root Extract Difference

This hormonal imbalance is caused by three main culprits involved in the processes of aromatase. Excess estrogen tricks the brain into producing testosterone at a slower rate, and increasing production of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). Chrysin works by inhibiting the process of aromatase. Once aromatase is inhibited, less estrogen will be produced. In an almost similar way, Nettle Root also helps block the conversion of testosterone into estrogen and provide a unique mechanism for increasing free testosterone by binding themselves to SHBG, thus displacing and allowing more free testosterone.

Testosterone is not the only problem to a dissatisfying sexual experience in men. One other major cause of sexual dissatisfaction among men is stress and anxiety related to work and their performance in the bedroom. Chrysin can be used to lighten anxiety without affecting your movement, motor coordination and alertness. However, Chrysin cannot be readily absorbed in the blood stream. AE-3 contains Bioperine®, an extract of black pepper that significantly enhances the bioavailability of nutrients through increased absorption.


Pure Science Supplements continues to grow hand in hand with the uncompromised quality and integrity of our products. Manufactured at GMP certified facilities and passed through stringent testing, we stop at nothing in order to give you the purest genuine combination of Chrysin, DIM and Stinging Nettle Root Extract in the market.

An Experiment in Spot Fat Reduction



Step One - Heat the area of concern with a heating pad. Or use a waist trimmer belt.
Step Two - Do 3 rounds of Tabata exercise with a focus on the trouble area. This will take about 12 minutes.

Step Three -  Do 45 to 60 minutes of steady state cardio to burn of the fat released in steps 1 and 2.


This should all be done in a fasted state. Add 2.5 mg of Yohimbine HCL into the mix.

Give it a try and let me know what your results are.
