Allright so here goes. I just recently got out of prison where I was told about all kinds of steroids and cycles and shit like that. I'm 5'10 170lbs. I work out 5-6 days a week and eat as healthy as i can now adays. The thing is i put on a layer of body fat on top of the muscle I gained. I'm not looking to get big really just more toned up and get rid of this mini tube around my midsection. I run 2-4 miles a day. My main question is are there any supplements that would help me lower my water retention and burn some of the body fat quicker. I'm taking creatine and amino's daily as well as vitamins. I'm not really looking for to bulk up more but either to burn the fat i have or turn it into muscle and stay around the same weight. My frame probably couldnt handle bulking up at this point. Im 25 by the way.
 
Green tea springs to mind - it's a little diuretic and the caffeine will speed up your metabolism.

There are a few supplements that are charged full of caffeine etc. I personally don't think these are great for your health but they do work.

Creatine will be making you hold water. I've tried the ph balanced creatine and it makes you hold less water, but some nevertheless from my experience. Try coming off the creatine and see what difference that makes.

Your cardio routine will make you dump water also. You sound like you should be really lean based on your exercise routine. Maybe address your diet also.

Sure someone with better knowledge will come along to comment soon.
 
I used to be very lean like 7-10% body fat but in prison its impossible to eat healthy and you haveta eat a bunch of starches. Thats the main reason why i'm up to 170lbs. I usually do 1-2 miles running then lift then run another .5-1 mile and hit the sauna for 30 minutes. Also most of my body fat is in my thighs/butt/and stomach area from all the starches. Those are the main areas where it just built up and no amount of cardio i was doing in there could keep under control. So if anyone knows anything that would work those areas specifically that would be appreciated.
 
170 at 5' 10"?? I'm 160 at 5' 6" and still feel too small. you could afford to throw more meat on your bones man. I know how it is eating on the inside as you gotta eat what you get cuz you don't get much. eat clean, incorporate weight training, and maybe ephedra+caffeine before cardio. weight training really helps with body fat as more muscle=higher base metabolism. also while the body repairs from intense weight training your body is using a lot of energy.
 
Well 170 is the most i've ever weighed and its all due to the amount of starches you eat inside. I'm a pretty lean dude normally and i have a good base layer of muscle and definition, I mainly want to get rid of this layer of fat/flab over all that. I do lift when i go to the gym and since i'm more trying to tone up i do high reps of lower weights. I'm open to any advice on workout regime and supplements.
 
Albuterol's good for cutting if you have sources. Its the same stuff thats in asthma meds & is believed to cut fat by the body building community... IF you really need to loose weight, look into that. Otherwise it's called eating right and exercising, which by itself is very efficient
 
I do not frequent this part of the forum much, but I am an amatuer athlete and profoundly experienced in this field. Look man, firstly to clear things up, fat does not turn into muscle. It is like saying wood can turn into steel. They are both different. Secondly, doing light weights and more reps does not help you rip up faster. The only thing it MAY do is fill the areas with more blood and depending on your rest between sets, make you work a little more harder cardio wise.

If you are just after aesthetic results from your training and more quicker but less sustainable, then maybe look up German Volume Training. Incorporate that schedule with a kitogenic diet, carbing up once a week, and you should rip up (although once you return to normal eating you will balloon into a watermelon if you do not do it properly). Cardio should be done in the mornings on an empty stomach 3 -6 times a week.

If you are after a more functional result (ie, help you work harder if you are a builder per say, or maybe if you want to knock someone out easier), try a full body power lifting routine two to three times a week, again cardio about 3 - 6 times a week, and find a good carb cycling diet. This is more sustainable as a lifestyle rather than a "diet" you come off of, it will get you scarily lean, but will take longer than the method mentioned above (ketosis). Sorry if a rambled on....

Oh and I almost forgot, the Albuterol mentioned above is correct as well as Clenbuterol, which is similiar. They have side effects though that can be pretty serious, I advise against using them. Besides those, caffiene can be used and maybe slowing down on the creatine. All other supplements are basically expensive coffee. Just stick to natural eating and lifting with cardio man, you seem like you have the mental focus.
 
I'm trying to loose a bit of body fat at the moment too. Just by dropping the night time snacks and eating less bread though. I;m still eating large meals for the rest of the day.

Appreciate the advice sir. I guess i'm not trying to turn it into muscle but I'm more trying to lose the layer of fat over the muscle i have and building more muscle. Its just that top layer of fat im more worried about. Covering up all the definition. I don't eat healthy as a diet but I tend to like the way i feel and the energy level i have when i eat healthy as compared to how i ate in college. I guess I am trying to get stronger but bulking up and building persay is not what i'm after.

As for albuterol or clenbuterol, do I need to source those, or can they be bought in stores or online?
 
ECA stack to burn fat and some dandelion root to lose water.

Eat at a slight caloric deficit but make sure you are getting 100+ grams of protien a day minimum.

Also take everything you learned about steroids while in prison and forget it, relearn everything here.

please don't call yourself stupid. no one is born with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, endocrinology, and the other related fields. I'd say around 0.6g/lb of body weight since that's considered maintenance for "normal people".

allright guido are ECA stacks illegal here in the US? Im new to all the acronyms for everything here and i know its ephedrine caffeine and aspirin but weren't all those weight loss pills taken off cause of ephedrine? Where do i find ECA or really just ephedrine or caffeine pills that will get the job done.
Eating at a caloric deficit is the hardest part for me. I get plenty of protein prolly not 100+ grams a day but Im eating a lot more than the last 9 months in prison thats for sure.
The big problem for me is i have a sweet tooth from being on opiates for 3+ years after i broke my back in 2008.
I'm trying to learn a more balanced healthy diet now that im working out and running and all that.
Another factor I have is being brand new to montana and not having a work out partner to push with and for motivation.
 
ephedrine is illegal as a weight loss supplement. its still used as some otc medications for breathing issues. hint hint.
 
yea i know its still in some medications i was just wondering if there was a way to get just the ephedrine. But i guess them being illegal answered that.

Idk if I'm allowed to say it, bronkaid. its behind the counter. straight ephedrine. no script needed.
