holy shite man, try ECA and some cardio. Think of your body as a pond, shallow on the edges and deep in the middle. If you drain water from the pond, the shallow parts will be exposed first, the deepest last to be exposed. In general, localized fat loss is a myth. If your theory is that you will increase the temp in that area and therefore burn more fat, I'm almost positive that won't work. Some people use those silly rubber things around their wastes to sweat out more water from that area. I've never seen that work either.

Damn, what the F are you thinking, even if that works, what the F, talk about scrounging for a last resort. How about try a thing called a diet and cardio and discipline and consistency and patience. Fuck!

Isn't the main ingredient in prep-h some type of shark oil? I've heard of models using it under the eyes for reduce puffyness, but never for fat. I bet if you did it the result would be localized water loss and you would "look" thinner, but I don't think you would lose any fat.

Now yohimbe cream might be another story, but I haven't tried it.

It does not get rid of fat, however it does supposedly help get rid of subcutaneous water. A lot of competitors will apply it to the areas they wish to tighten before getting into a tanning bed.

Yeah I have heard of talk show hosts (letterman and leno) use prep H under their eyes to get rid of the bags. I don't think it would work, but if it did I would do it.

I'm gonna keep this shite F'n bumped. Although this is a ridiculous thought, it shows the need for knowledgable people to help these poor souls out. Can you imagine someone wrapping preparation H around their waist??? Get some roids and use them to get big and cut, don't use anti-roid cream to ;~)

There was a little excerpt in this month's flex where King Kamali says he does this and notices beads of water on the area it's applied to after getting out of the tanning bed. I also have heard this from some of the competitors at local shows.

With this post I truely believe this board has reached an all time low.

I hope you put it in a 23 guage 1 1/2 pin and bury it in your glute. The only fat loss you can hope for is if it shrinks your brain cells.

holy shit!

alls i did was ask for results if anyone has tried it. i dont get why everybody has to flame me for a simple question. i heard it worked and i just wanted to know for sure before i tried it. you all are a bunch of fucking dickheads for treating someone like that just cause they want to know the answer to something. i thought the knowledgable vets on this board were the best out there. i thought vets were supposed to help and inform people rather than flame them.

what is does is tighten the skin so it may make you look smaller but it wont get rid of fat. works good on puffy nipples

Bro don't worry - All they had to say is "Nope I've never heard of it."

Instead we have a few flame happy dipshits with nothing better to do. I can't say that it works because I have not tried it, but that's not the point.

Don't be afraid to ask questions bro.

guys , this ins't that stupid of a question..just because half of you don't know what he is talking about does'nt make it wrong...The reality of it is that some BB's apply prep-H on there stomach and midsections and then wrap with saran rap in prep for a contest, usually a day or two out , the heat pulls excess water out...it's just another tool to get rid of the bloated look..i havent heard of the whole tanning bed thing, but im sure it probably is done that way too....Some of you idiots just need to quit posting replys until you have something inteligent to say....hope this helps man

good post. A lot of bodybuilders and fitness gals use this stuff for those stubborn "fat looking" areas. It works IF YOU ARE ALREADY LEAN...sorry HDarling!

Besides the bad smell, it isn't bad. put it on your gut, wrap your midsection in clear wrap, and go to bed.

Yes, this is a legit question and I too have heard of this practice, but have not tried it so I have no idea of the results. But I'll bump it to see what else comes of it.

There is no such thing as spot reduction...it just does not exist. It may make the puffiness go away but it's a temporary fix.

It can and does help with excess skin and loose tissue. I have used it to tighten up my midsection. It only seems to work if you have a low BF already though. Just to get some extra definition in the area.

Guys, this is a very good question. I don't know why you flame for it. It's not like he asked about injecting PGF2A in his cock for localized growth or something. Geesh.

It does work- not a long term solution though...you put it on the night before a contest & it helps rid your body of some extra water & helps to tighten the skin.... the effects are minimal so dont rely on it to do wonders.....its just an added extra measure for someone who is at their best....

mj, I will be using it for the last 5-7 days while suntanning for a competition. IT will halp you remove subcutaneous water but its only a temp fix. It will not burn fat just extract more water from fat cells under the skin.

This has some validity to it fellas. One of my good friends just took second in the South Carolina Heavies Open Class and he and some of the other guys used Prep-H and Vicks on their abs and entire body to drain Subcutaneous water. It worked too, he took second in the state!

Bros:

Preparation H works in the way MJ proposed for precisely the same reason it's used as a topical treatment for hemorrhoids: It reduces swelling of tissue, whether that tissue is in your butt or around your midsection. The bros are right, though, that it's temporary; it works as an astringent, not as a fat burner. I've known several guys who used it regularly, with good effect.

BTW, flamers should try it on their heads, since that's where they seem to experience the most swelling.

this is a funny but good topic!!!

I run an Army recruiting station and have used this method many times....here is my theory and how i do it....

theory:::::preperation H is used for hemroids which is basicly inflamed tissue....most men carry water and fat in the stomach area preperation h heats the area to cause loss of extra water and fatty tissue shrinkage...scientifically i have no proof....

i usually grab the fat fuck have him rub it all over his stomach and wrap him in seran wrap, then clothes and either run him til he drops or stick his fat ass in the sauna...this has imediate results but they are not perminate just allows me to get him down inches in the waist.... and lose a couple pounds then i have me a new troop

Prep-H is defiately used in hollywood etc. Many use it to tighten the skin on their face and reduce puffines and wrinkles.

for bodybuilding, the same thing, it tightens the skin and reduces sub-q water You need low bodyfat to see the results.

Do you remember in the 80's a product called Thimucase (sp) it was a cream that did the same but it was 4-5xthe cost. You don't see it really any more because Prep-H does the same for $4 a tube'

O.K., I've heard of this before and I know it will work for the short term. The thing that worries me is people wrapping themselves with saran wrap. Get a few overeager people and watch them end up dehydrated. I think I'd try an ECA stack first.

Since a hemmie is a inflammed vein, does prep-H do anything to reduce vascularity. I know you don't necessarily want vascularity in the abdomen, but with a larger dose (like covering the whole midsection) has anyone ever suggested it reduces vascularity?
