I guess I should chime in here since Ive used DNP on multiple occasions. But I generally use it for a different purpose than most guys.
First things first no one who does not compete should even touch this shit. And even those who do better check themselves if they have a addictive personality or if they are in a rush to lose the fat because I show is creeping up on them or something.
My attraction to DNp other than the fat loss aspect is its ability to create a catabolic state in the body in a short period of time. It tends to clean out androgen(and other) recptor sites very quickly. So one can quickly induce a sort of "controlled overtrained" state. which as anybody who has ever seen a post competition bodybuilder face slam massive calories after a show and grow like a weed knows, this state can significantly create a powerful anabolic state.
Anyhow, a few guidelines should be laid out here for those who insist on using the stuff.
- never take over 5mg/kg bw daily but 3-4mg/kg BW is better(which max for me is roughly 680mg daily and I am close to 300 lbs @ 12% right now, and i never exceeded 600 mg over 24 hours in my life)
- never use it if you are over 12%BF
- Never use it for longer than 5 days straight
- Drink approx 2 gallons of water a day to flush all the catabolic waste from your body
- Eat at least 2.5 G protein per lb of BW daily
- Multivitmain is essential
- a good antioxidant stack is wise
- 50-150 G glutamine a day is essential
- Dont do any high weight training techniques while you are on since DNP tends to compromise the joints somewhat
- And please people, for fucks sake, do not use clen, ephedra, meth, crack, cocaine, T3 or any other stupid fucking CNS stimulant while on this shit.
I did not want to be a voice of dissent or anything here. But I know that many guys do and will always use this stuff heedless of any warnings. They may as well be as safe as possible while doing it.
and btw ECY, I am sorry you had to learn the hard way my man
If this board was filled with nothing but very experienced competitive bodybuilders this might be a viable option. But theres just way too many 20 year olds who need to drop some weight for spring break/summertime and they think DNP can be the ticket.
