hydroxycut after workout

[HowBadDoYouWantIt]

hydroxycut before post-workout meal.
any reason NOT to do this? any reason to do this?

 

[Dr. E]

I take Hydroxycut just after my morning cardio (about 45 minutes before my first meal) and I think this works great. I personally cannot take them while I do cardio because they drive my heart too hard and would force me to stop the cardio!

I'm with ya Dr. E. My cardio workouts are long and hard runs. If I took an E/C stack pre-workout my heart would probably blow up. I run seven minute miles which gets my heart rate cranking as is. The only way I could ever do a thermo is post workout. Any other runners out there who take thermos?

i don't understand the logic. most people take eca to power them through workouts. if you took it afterwards it would give you all that energy when you don't really need it. i think its like taking a test and then studing after you took it.

 

[FourPhaseMan]

For harder driving cardio workouts that already get the heart rate up higher it doesn't appear the safest bet to add a thermo on top of that. I guess it just depends on how intense a persons cardio sessions are. I'll stick with a nice mellow heart rate post cardio instead of speed madness.

different people follow different logic....
it doesn't really give me energy period....just interested in the fatburning.
i would need to take it after workouts on some days because of timing.
I originally posted (as HowBadDoYouWantIt), because i was wondering what the affects would be to the muscles after working them out...giving my body a therm prior the resources they would be in need of.
In essence i wondered if there would there be a chance of going into a catabolic state. (i do cardio AFTER lifting)
From what i understand (which i could be completely wrong) they dont' work that way...

Taking hydroxycut after your workout would be like putting a condom on after sex. (I'm not sure if that made any sense.)

Excellent metaphor BigAndy69- couldn't have said it better. Hope the message is received

 

[mikki(hbdywi)]

definitely nice metaphor....maybe i am just not clear enough in what my question is.....

Question: Because of eating and training schedule SOMETIMES i need to take my 3rd dose of hydroxycut AFTER i work out....is there any reason to think it would promote *muscle* loss rather than fat loss by taking it AFTER working out (30 minutes prior to my after workout meal) ???

I would be really hesitant about taking another dose of hydroxycut after your workout unless your workout is early afternoon or so. If your workout is at night (after 5 PM) you might experience sleeplessness from taking such a strong stimulant so late in the day. You will also continue to burn calories for a time (1-4 hours) after you finish your workout-depending on the intensity- so it would be doing double duty. I generally keep my use of hydroxycut/xenadrine/eca stacks to the first 2/3 of the day, but thats me. everyones metabolic rate is different so you might be OK. Are you really supposed to take 3 doses of that stuff per day?
