hey layne! love th series on bb.com! do you think dark chocolate is really anabolic? what are your thoughts on it?

i appreciate the compliment.

who said chocolate was anabolic?

not sure, if you order it online though most places have it (bodybuilding.com bulknutrition.com, etc)

Usnic acid scares me because it is an uncoupler.

Essentially uncouplers make energy production 'inefficient' making your body spend more energy to get energy (ATP) and thus you lose fat because your body has to burn more calories to get the same amount of energy, the problem is the excess energy is given off as heat and there have been people who have straight up cooked themselves to death from the inside with uncouplers like DNP. Now usnic acid isn't as strong as DNP, but it still worries me some. I would be very careful with it.

Layne, so..... urnic acid = lipolyze = worries?

In one of your bodybuilding.com videos (I think the first) you talk about how u train as a natural. It was something along the lines of 1 week gain 2 next week cut 1 lb = net gain 1 lb lean mass. he lbs may be off from what u said but thats the idea as I understood it.

How often do you cycle these bulk vs cut weeks like 1 week bulk vs 1 week cut *repeat*? Most curiously does your training stay the same on both as far as weight lifting.? Im thinking low-carb = u should not do heavy compound moves like deadlifts and squats but i could be wrong.

I assume more cardio on the cut days as well as a drop in cals (esp carbs)?

it is a 4-8 week bulk followed by a 2-3 week cut

probably not; i'm probably just over cautious

Layne, whats your thoughts on Vitamin B supplementation? If you recommend it what dose would you say per day and what vitamin B? (B12 or B Complex). Thanks!

[str8flexed]

if you take a multi I don't see much reason for it. Maybe a little extra B6 but most likely not needed

Thanks! Also, I know you are totally natural but I was interested in your well educated opinion on downregulation from using Clen. What protocol do you think would be most effective for someone to use when being on Clen? Thanks Layne!

i'm really the wrong person to ask. All I know is clen is a beta agonist; that's about it, I really wouldn't know how to cycle it. sorry i can't be more helpful
