K...no drugs. And, yup...like I said, been doing it w/ just cardio and food the past 3 months anyhow.
I did, however, try those drugs over the years (which is how I know how they make me feel). Just never kept on them for any extended periods of time...except EAC, but only pre-workout for energy.
Maybe I'll up the cardio -- 30 min instead of 20. Cardio is boring as hell.
If I were you, I'd look into different short HIIT (High intensity interval training) types of cardio.
Here's a suggested routine which you could do on its own in the mornings or on resting days (no need for an empty stomach really):
Use a bike or a recumbent bike, low resistance (approx a "2" out of "10").
Do ten intervals like this:
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
Finished.
This will jack up your metabolism, it won't burn fat DURING the cardio (you know all this shit, I'm sure, sorry for stating the obvious), and your recovery and general wellness will improve.
I suggest doing this twice a week, preferably on days off, and regular low impact cardio, 15-45 minutes three times a week.
Just some ideas on how to keep on track.
Also, I know that there is some Dave Tate has written some articles on how to do cardio training Westside style, they're available on T-mag.com I believe. It includes pulling a sleigh and a bit of Strongman style training from what I understand.
