I love HRX. It’s probably my favorite supplement. It’s a great fat burner for me. I do sometimes get a little jittery from the Yohimbine, but it never keeps me up or causes lack of sleep. I love the raspberry burps as well.
My only issue is that is tends to give me the runs a bit. Although that’s not necessarily a bad thing as it makes my morning ‘movement’ nice and fast.
Today is my 6th day on HOT-ROX.
The first day I used it I took 1 pill at 09:00 and another at 16:00. That first day was the only day I felt somewhat jittery, other than that no bad symptoms or side effects, especially the ones listed on the bottle. For the second day and all days thereafter I began taking the full dose 2+2.
I will stay with HOT-ROX for the entire bottle and update my results. One thing I noticed; as another poster mentioned “I want this to work,” that stubborn fat at the midsection must go.
So if anything, I am more focused on my diet and training, more so than I was without HOT-ROX.
Wish me luck.
The positive:
it definitely seems to kill my appetite…I literally forget to eat sometimes after I’ve had a couple capsules which is unusual for me.
It seems to help extend fat loss…y’know when normally ur metabolism is trying to crap out on you and you’ve either gotta cut calories or do more HIIT/GBC training to lose weight, HOT-ROX seems to stave that off
The negative:
No stimulant effect whatsoever with me. I actually took two caps the other evening then went to bed an hour later…slept like the dead. I’ve never been particulary sensitive to stimulants but I know Twinlabs Ripped Fuel(back when ephedra was still in it) used to leave me pretty wired. HOT-ROX doesn’t do that at all.
umm, the burps, the heartburn…I dread each time I take this stuff. I basically have figured out I can’t take it with water, or with a carbonated beverage. I have to take it with some Crystal Lite to avoid burps. I have no idea why, but it seems like the capsules leave some residue in my esohpagus on the way down, or break open a little?? I dunno, but I get insane heartburn if I take it any other way cept on an empty stomach with Crystal Lite. I mean REALLY painful, uncomfortable heartburn.
Been taking it for about a month, so have a good understanding now:
Much loser than normal stools throughout the whole month.
No problem getting to sleep, but woke up in the middle of the night multiple times and found it hard to get back to sleep. This only happened during the first 2 weeks and sleep is back to normal now.
Warmth and increased HR very soon after ecah dose, although this has tapered off somewhat as the month has progressed.
Increased temperature and sweating during all forms of training, particularly cardio. Again, tapered off as the month has progressed.
Increased rate of fat loss over the first 2 weeks, but seems to have slowed down now. I may’ve been dieting for too long though, so its hard to say whether its a HOT-ROX specific thing.
Avg morning temperature of 35.6C pre-HOT-ROX and 36.0C during HOT-ROX. Increase of 0.9%.
Haven’t noticed a reduced appetite. Maybe because I love eating so much.
Third day in.
Day 1 - euphoria, energy, some warmth and higher HR after consumption.
Day 2 - fatigue (might have nothing to do with HOT-ROX, just my sleep debt), a bit jittery right after taking HOT-ROX, less euphoria, still feel more energetic.
Day 3 - jittery after taking HOT-ROX, otherwise still the same. i’m usually very sensitive to stims when it comes to sleep, fortunately haven’t noticed anything like that with HOT-ROX… have my fingers crossed it’ll be the same tonight 
My appetite has been significantly weaker than usual, too. I actually underate at day 1, which might have been part of what made me feel weak in day 2. I don’t know if it’s HOT-ROX or not, but I lost 0.5 kilos in 3 days, 2 of which were with HOT-ROX, after stagnating at the same weight for about a week. I’m guessing some of that “weight loss” was due to natural weight fluctuation, and I’ll provide more feedback next time I weigh in at the gym.

EDIT: yes, it also gives me heartburn. nothing severe, fortunately!

Today I had a fairly typical (by my standardS) HOT-ROX related experience… Was changing trains on the way to work and had to make an EMERGENCY pitstop to empty the pipes at the public toilets. Thankfully they’re clean and easy to find in Japan, because I could’ve been in a massive spot of bother if none were close.
I think next time I use HOT-ROX I will take it for shorter periods. Maybe 2 week blocks. I know the recommendation is for > 1 month, but for me the effectiveness seems to highest early on. Any thoughts on this and why the recommendation is given? (is it because fat loss is generally a slow, long term process that very obviously can’t happen overnight?)
do any of you guys stack this with clen?
I just opened my 2nd bottle today. My 4 week progress with my workouts/Cardio(HIIT)and low carb/good fat diet
Started 40.5" waist, 4 weeks later 35.5% and I’ve only lost 13lbs which means I am keeping muscle but probably adding some too.
I also supplement with: Flameout, Metabolic Drive Low carb, Surge and Rez-V
Just got 2 bottles of ZMA delivered today, figured fuck it might as well try it.

I meant 35.5" not percent(that would suck!)
Awesome results liston. Well done so far.
this may be a question for someone with more knowledge, but what is peoples’ opinion on the effectiveness of this product where one is not feeling the stimulatory effect (meaning, not “feeling” it, sorta the euphoria/stimulating effect)
does this mean it is not “working”? time to cycle off?

‘Feel’ is a real subjective thing when it comes to any supplement. I’m sure you seen in this thread different people reporting different reactions to the same supplement. We all aren’t going to notice the same thing. There are too many factors involved.
You can’t really go by ‘feel’. You have to go by your results.
I’ve been taking HRX for 3 days now, but i dont get anything at all, i mean zilch. I dont get heartburn, no increased body temp, jitters, or anything else. My energy levels are unaffected, and i really dont feel any different from before i started taking it. I did buy it at GNC though, could that have something to do with it? Or is it just too early to tell HRX’s effectiveness yet?

When I started it the first few days I could only take 1 at a time. I would get wired off of it. Now, just starting my second bottle I take 2 without feeling anything.

well this is my first time to take HOT ROX and pretty much any stimulant of any kind at all. I dont even drink coffee or any other heavily caffeinated drink. So I have no idea why I have this unknown tolerance for HRX’s stimulant effects.

Thats very strange…you’d think you would be wired.

I would think he should feel something too, all things considered, but I think the stuff they sell at GNC isn’t the same stuff you’d get here. My local Wal-Mart carries HOT-ROX, but it’s definitely not the same as HRX here.
There is a huge difference with “feel” between thermogenics and other supplements. I just wanted peoples opinions on continuing use of them even when the same stimulated feeling isn’t taking place.
Well speaking of effects, i weighed myself in after 4 days of using HRX, and id dropped about 2.5 lbs. I’m also on a cutting cycle for 1500 cals, so the HRX is definitely working, because ive never lost this much weight so fast with just diet before. I just wish id “feel” it working.

How long do you guys stay on this stuff? Or should I ask, how long is it effective before receptor downgrade takes over?

Biotest recommends taking it for about 3 months and taking 2 weeks off and then you can repeat that cycle as many times as you like.
