Hello Dr. Mike, I recently stopped doing hypotrophy workouts and shifted to olympic weightlifting lifting cause I though it help me build muscle ( however after researching it turns out it's not ideal for hypotrophy) My goal is strength and hypotrophy obviously to burn fat!!!! Will shifting to olympic weightlifting ruin my goal or its okay to switch back and forth Can you please give us you take on the matter

[@jaredbobak1426]

I used to work at a supplement store and if someone was serious about losing weight I more or less steered then away from fat loss supplements. If I suggested anything it would be yohimbine as there seems to be some promising studies on its ability to help burn fat, but obviously not without a calorie deficit and some physical activity...if I remember correctly yohimbones effectiveness was someone based on pulling carbs as well.

[@Brain320]

Citruline will provide gnarlier pumps but at higher dosages than what you usually find in run of the mill pre-workouts. I go for 8g pure citruline not malate and it's definitely noticeable, added bonus downstairs btw. Sodium Bicarb is ok(better than beta alanine imo) but if you overdo it your gonna have a "volume workout" on the crapper...

I beg to differ! My friend has a great weight loss supplement. It’s a white powder. Not sure what you call it. You snort it up the nose. I feel like I can work out for 3 hours and then go dancing at the club all night without eating. Side effect is constipation though

[@ButtmanAtHeart]

you forgot mention the other side effects. psychosis and hallucinations along with insomnia and tooth decay, irritability and paranoia. other than that the stuff works wonders for weightloss!

Take vacation in south America. Health food store and pharmacy all in one store. We have some great "supplements". Awesome. Wide variety of nice items : ) many places in Mexico same.

I took a "fat burning" pill a few months ago. Ended up running on the treadmill for an hour the first day (im a powerlifter btw) and didn't sleep straight for two days. I'm sure I burned more calories than I normally would have resulting in fat loss but holy shit I felt like I got drugged.

I'm pretty sure research exists that rules this unlikely to be all placebo. So surely, some supplements must be an alright option??

[@Shvabicu]

Now I know what that dude in the locker room was drinking. I thought wtf is he doing with that vinegar smelling shite

[@user-fn1cd6mo9z]

400mg caffeine + 400mg theanine (split dose if your tolerance is low) 500mg green tea extract 2g carnitine (ideally split into 2-3 doses) That's about it for daily supplementation that clinically affects fat loss, and you have to cycle caffeine to keep the effect, 4 weeks on 1 week off is good for most people. There's a lot of stuff that might maybe possibly work, but if you want to stick to the RCT and meta-analysis vetted stuff, this is about it.
