I don't believe these creams work as claimed but bodybuilders have been using
a bunch of topicals for decades so it's possibly true what he's saying, that he used creams. It used to be Thiomucase and Percutafeine and Percutacrine from France. Last couple of decades it has been yohimbine, caffeine, clenbuterol creams etc. I don't believe they reduce fat locally, probably just a local diuretic effect people are seeing. But they are used by a bunch of high level bodybuilders.
