Dymetadrine Xtreme + Bulking?


Hey, I'm lookin at the Max-OT program and they recommend taking Dymetadrine Xtreme. Now I'm trying to bulk up and I have a little fat here and there b/c of the bulking and I wouldn't mind getting rid of that, but would taking Dymetadrine not let me bulk up at all? I'd like some more energy to intensify my workout but I don't want to lose a lot of weight.

Also which is better, the ephedra free version or the ephedra version?

I've read the Max-OT pdf from front to back many times, and the only part that I dislike is that section you're talking about. The author goes into a long spiel about how supplements is all about marketing, and don't ever listen to anything you read in magazines, and everyone is all about taking your money.

Then on the next page he starts hyping up HIS COMPANY'S product, dymetadrine extreme!

My advice: do a search on the product and find out what's in it...then compare it to similar products such as Hydroxycut, Xenadrine, and Ripped-Fuel...see what ingredients match up and if the $$price$$ is right.

EDIT: Okay i just read my post and realized that i didn't even answer your question! Yes you can take "fat-burners" while bulking. But watch out, they increase your metabolism and also suppress your appetite, so you actually have to FORCE yourself to eat big.

I guess I'd want the energy more than anything, I'm okay with having a little fat on me just because I like not being able to see my ribs anymore and if fat contributes to that, so be it. Any good energy supplements out there (besides caffeine)?

"natural" "energy" "supplements":
(in order of "naturalness", if you know what i mean...)

1. 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, no more, no less
2. insulin, complex carbs eaten througout the day
3. insulin, simple carbs (sugar) eaten 30 mins before workout
4. caffiene/green tea 30 mins before workout
5. ephedra 30 mins before workout

Since its almost impossible for me to get #1 and i'll never go back to #5, i usually try to get a good mix of #2,#3, and #4.
