I have this saved from AGES ago from a poster here:
OK the use of C for fat loss purposes revolves around Cs ability to release both dopamine (which suppresses appetite) and more importantly, adrenaline and nor-adrenaline.
The nor adrenaline is a neurotransmitter that allows you to have a fast, focussed training session. Basically it increases arousal (by which I mean alertness, etc), although it does have psychoactive effects which is why you don’t want too much of this during a workout or you might run over and start humping one of the fitness bunnies lustily.
Adrenaline/epinephrine has a range of effects, from triggering fat mobilisation and utilisation, to vasodilation of skeletal muscle and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Now none of this is what you would call revolutionary, since adrenaline manipulation has been used for a long time with such chemicals as ephedrine, etc.
However personally, ephedrine does not work for fat loss. Instead of causing a release of adrenaline, it releases highly catabolic (to muscle tissue) cortisol instead, resulting in accelerated breakdown of muscle tissue, water retention and ultimately, central obesity.
Sure, adrenaline is highly catabolic too, but more so towards fatty tissue, in my experience.
Having said that, building muscle is all about getting more than adequate nutrients into a muscle, and the release of adrenaline from use of C will not permit that uptake of nutrients.
This is where ‘my’ protocol came into effect. You see it’s only 50% to do with the action of the drug, and 50% (or whatever %, lol) to do with the training strategy.
I feel this is important to highlight. You want to to total body exercise sessions that are not long lasting and DO NOT tear down muslce fiber. You cannot (to my mind) use the traditional cutting exercise routines of multiple sets, etc.
Basically, just enough to trigger the elevation of metabolism and increased energy demand of skeletal muscle, but not so much that you are forcing added muscle catabolism into an already catabolic (from the adrenaline) state.
So in practical terms this amounts to not much more than 45 minutes of relatively gentle interval training/bag work/ light resistance circuits.
Sure, the coke-fuelled aggression will drive you onwards, but this is where a kind of ‘reverse discipline’ is needed. You CANNOT tear down muscle AND use C and expect anything other than a clusterfuck. Lots of muscle and strength loss.
This is accentuated by the fact that once the exercise session is over, you are going to have a couple of further, little, C ‘bumps’ to continue the release of fatty acids, whilst you consume only protein and a little sugar (to prevent hypos).
So in summary, I guess it goes like this:
A little C (but not too much, to save your heart) pre, during and post training.
A little bit of muscle stimulation (but not too much, to save your prescious muscle).
A bit of energy systems work (but not too much, to prevent excessive catabolism)
A fair bit of protein and a little bit of glucose, pre, peri and post workout.
And in summary of the summary, I think it boils down to the fact that a reduced workout volume and a tiny bit of a highly illegal substance, can lead to amazing fat loss.
NEITHER THIS POSTER NOR I ADVISE ANYONE TO DO THIS PARTICULAR OPTION COCAINE IS ILLEGAL.
Thanking you.
