Ok, since some of you guys are quite knowledgeable on supplements and the like, I have a couple questions.
I'm currently monitoring caloric intake and making sure I stay at a deficit (I'm 5'8 and 190 right now). I've been aiming for 1700 calories a day (I keep it @ or just under it most days. Friday and Saturday night beers screw that up).
I'm starting to see some of my fat burn off. What fat burners/supplements would you recommend to help speed this process up?
Caveats: I don't do fad diets and don't get overly involved in the macro stuff. I'm not looking to be ultra-shredded. I just want to get the little bit of a gut I still have worked off. I'm also not looking for stuff that involves a lot of monitoring (like clen). I have pretty severe asthma and take a medicine for that and blood pressure.
*I usually work out 3-4 times a week
I do an upper body day which is usually (in this order as well):
bench press 4x6 @175 currently
Rows 4x6 (weight is dependent on the variation I do)
Incline bench press 4x6 @ 135
Pull ups 4x as many as possible (I use the assisted pull up machine to make sure I get at least 8) or lat pull downs
Shrugs 4X8 with 75-80 lb dumbells
Tri pulldowns/push downs 4x8 (weight depends on variation)
Curls 4x8 (weight depends on variation, generally 30 lbs each arm)
rear delt flys (still building my shoulder/rotator cuff back up)
delt raises
Lower body day (once a week):
hack squat 4x8 @250
deadlifts 4x6 @ 185
leg extensions 4X8 (weight depends on how I feel and which machine I end up on)
leg curls 4x8 (same as extenstions)
adductor/abductor machines 3x10
I also usually try to do 30 minutes on the elliptical after legs (doesn't always happen though).
Generally my schedule is:
Monday: legs
Tuesday: upper body
Wednesday: off
Thursday: upper body
Friday: off
Saturday: Upperbody
Sunday: cardio or legs to take Monday off.
