Stimulants Amphetamines and Physique change

[DonMakaveli]

I'v been noticing while taking Adderall, eating mainly protein before dosing so muscle wont break down & working out a bit has been getting me even more ripped much quicker than sticking to my regular workout routine lol. I know this isnt probably the most safest way of gettin leaned out but its incredible how fast it happens. My mass is still there but the 6 pack is lookin more nasty now. I know no one should keep this kind of thing up, I wont but its fun to see how quick things change . Is it the effects of amphetamiens on the heart to beat faster therfore burning more calories faster, mixed with the appetite loss to create rapid weight loss ? None of the muscle is going away tho due to me eating small meals throughout the day and adding in low intensity muscle-specific wourkouts has been adding intense ripped-ness. Does anybody else experience this ?

Amphetamine, from what I understand, has minor beneficent qualities when it comes to building muscle (mediated by norepinephrine increasing the calcium uptake and therefore greater force production in the muscle). Otherwise, what you're experiencing is simply the by-product of increased stamina and reduced ability to feel pain. Risks include hyperthermia; people have died from this combination. You're stressing your circulatory system.

Oh yes ofcourse i am, thats understood. Which is why during my amphetamine use I dont do any extra cardio work or anything too intensive (except sex), the amphetamine is already doing that. I dont plan to be using Adderall as a workout supplement or anything for ever or extended use, I know the risks. Just wanted to see if anybody else shared this also.

As long as you're eating right and sleeping, you definately won't loose muscle. I'm not too sure if the adderall is actually making you more ripped though. When I go off my vyvanse (sometimes weeks at a time) I have the same physique as when I am on it.

Pretty much the same for me, but when i am off of my Adderall my physique isn't as ripped or nasty as when I am on it, so for me its noticeable. granted tho if I got back on a strict diet and workout regime while off of Adderall my physique would eventually turn that way but, & the pooint of this thread, was kind of fun it is to see how quick thinsg change when on it.

That's due to vasoconstriction, it tightens up the skin on your body, stretching it against your muscles.

Yeah i knew that was part of it aswell.

The easiest way to see this is by looking at your dick...your dick tightens, gets smaller and becomes more stiff.

Using methamphetamine in the past permanently sped up my metabolism. It never slowed back down, I eat so much food and it never sticks to me. It's kind of sad because I wish I could put on a few pounds and I literally can't (or find it impossible).

Sure, I know I look good, but I didn't have to use amp's to get like this. I'm sure taking rx'd dosages of Adderall is a lot better than an IV methamphetamine habit, in terms of what it does to your metabolism, etc. but still, I figured I'd suggest you be careful with what you're doing.

I didn't necessarily want to end up this way, and I always assumed my metabolism would have gone back down after having quit. Any ideas as to why I'm like this, I have no idea. Maybe sekio or other knowledgeable members could give their 2 cents.

That's a very unusual response and I doubt very much that your increased metabolism is actually due to your past meth use. Amphetamines generally cause rebound weight gain & slowed metabolism once you stop taking them, not the reverse.

^^True. But I know some people who abused the SHIT out of it (like stayed up weeks at a time) and just like him they eat all fucking day non stop and are all skin and bone. IT probably has to do with their personal metabolism too.

I think a main source of you noticing your muscles more under your skin while taking amps is because it's a diuretic - therefore, you are retaining less water, in turn making it easier to see your muscle definition. Just like before competition body builders do a show, the night before, they don't consume anything, especially water or salt to ensure they don't retain water, resulting in more defined muscle striations.
