2000 The
New Bad Boy - Ritalin Almost everyone reading this article has used ephedrine and many of you have probably used clenbuterol. Think back, if you will, to the day you took your first Ripped Fuel capsule or spiropont pill. Remember the incredible surge of energy? Remember how the fat melted off you? Don’t you wish you could go back to those happy days and virgin receptors? Well, now you can. Hello. My Name is Methylphenidate. My friends call me Ritalin and I have been an amphetamine for 20 years. Say hello to a new friend on the block. Methylphenidate (the chemical name of Ritalin) is a mild central nervous system stimulant. Now, like many drugs, the precise mode of action in humans is not completely understood, but Methylphenidate presumably activates the brain stem arousal system and cortex to produce its stimulant effect. Methylphenidate is rapidly and extensively absorbed from the tablets following oral administration. However, owing to extensive first-pass metabolism, bioavailability is low (approx. 30%) and large individual differences exist (11 to 52%). This is why some people will try to inject Ritalin in hopes of bypassing the liver. Sorry folks, unless you modify the chemical structure of the drug, it’s still going to the ole liver. The reason certain drugs (like the 17 AA steroids) can escape first-pass metabolism is because their chemical composite keeps them essentially inert until they react with enzymes and chemicals in your blood. Peak plasma concentrations of 10.8 and 7.8 ng/mL were observed, on average, 2 hours after administration of 0.30 mg/kg in children and adults, respectively. However, peak plasma concentrations showed marked variability between subjects. Both the area under the plasma concentration curve (AUC), and the peak plasma concentrations (C(max)) showed dose-proportionality. This means that a higher dosage will elicit a greater response. Methylphenidate is eliminated from the plasma with a mean half-life of 2.4 hours in children and 2.1 hours in adults. The apparent mean systemic clearance is 10.2 and 10.5 L/hr/kg in children and adults, respectively for a 0.3 mg/kg dose. For a bodybuilder, this means that the 30 mg per day you are taking are of your system in less then 10 hours. This means that Ritalin has a much shorter half-life then compounds like ephedrine hydrochloride or clenbuterol, therefore you will be returning to a normal feeling much more rapidly. How to Use Ritalin (The Basics) There
are several way to take Ritalin. Obviously, swallowing a pill is the
easiest method of delivery and it is what most people will feel
comfortable doing. It takes up to one half hour for the effects of
Ritalin to become pronounced if you take it orally.
Some recreational users of Ritalin have been known to either
snort or inject the drug. Since
the focus of this article is using Ritalin for performance
enhancement, we need not concern ourselves with these methods of
delivery. Using
Ritalin to gain strength So, what does this have to do with pharmacology? Ritalin has the ability to increase your mental focus. A regimen of Ritalin should permit you to better harness your muscle and produce greater force. This would result in an increase in strength without, at least initially, an accompanying muscle increase. This would be of great use to powerlifters. A low dosage of Ritalin is used for this strength-gaining endeavor. This is because the dosage of Ritalin only really prolongs its period of action. Therefore take either 5 or 10 milligrams of Ritalin one hour before your workout. When you feel the drug begin to kick in, proceed to the gym. You only want the Ritalin to last for about 2-4 hours so if you feel wired for more then that period of time, cut your dosage. Proceed with a standard powerlifting workout, high weight, low reps with long rest times. You should use Ritalin every time you workout and gradually increase the dose if you feel yourself growing attenuated to your current dosage. Ritalin can be addictive, so be sure to moderate yourself. I would recommend that you take several days a week off the drug and that you wait at least a month between Ritalin cycles. Using
Ritalin to diet Immediately upon waking up, take a 20 mg pill. This should be effective in your system for upwards of 6 hours. About 4 hours later take 10 mg of the pill. This should insure that for most of your waking day you are under the influence of Ritalin. You will immediately notice that the drug has curbed your appetite, but without the tremors and anxiety associated with products like ephedrine and clenbuterol. Ritalin is a stimulant, but it uses totally different pathways then either ephedrine or clenbuterol. Therefore it is possible to combine the drugs into a synergist cocktail yielding incredible results. Be aware that there is a potential for over-stimulation in this mixing of drugs. Do not combine Ritalin with a beta-agonist product the first time you try either drugs. This combination is intended for people who are experienced with the beta-agonists and also with Ritalin. If it's your decision to use Ritalin in conjunction with other drugs, you would continue using it as outlined above. Take the 20 mg pill right when you get up and 10 more mg about 4 hours later. However, now we are going to add the rest of drugs (I currently consider myself a demented pharmacist version of Julia Child). For the ultimate fat burning combo you will need to obtain Ritalin, cytomel (T3 thyroid hormone), clenbuterol, ephedrine hydrochloride (get the real stuff from a gas station – forget the herbal versions), glucophage (Metaformin HCL), and yohimbine hydrochloride. If you need to know why we are using these drugs then you shouldn’t be doing this stack, but if you need to be refreshed you should read my article (AVAILABLE HERE). The yohimbine HCL is being used to extend the thermogenic effects of the beta-agonistsl products. Week
