What're your stats? Do you want to cut? Gimme a lil more info on your goals man

stats would be

current weight 170

reps 8 -12 to get more mass and muscle endurance

basicly just going to maintain until winter and then just bulkup then maybe start a cut diet in 7 8 months

i didnt plan on cuttin but i mean its like i all ready am so should i just do a cut for the summer time and restart everything in the winter

Losing 4lbs is not a valid reason to decide to cut or not. Base the decision on your goals and your body fat%. The weight loss will level off just eat more food.

im definitly no expert on the subject, but, i do have a friend in the same situation. he was just prescribed adderal but he only takes it on the days leading up to his tests/exams. He hasnt lost any weight as far as i know, and definitly hasnt lost any muscular stength.

As far as how good taking adderal like that is for you, i have no idea. my friend isnt the brightest when it comes to some things like this.

ive only taken it 3 times everyother day since i have got it wchich was last week my body fat % would be like 15 to 17% the more and more i think about it i might as well for the summer time problem i dont want to be one of those guys whos got a 6 pack and cut but looks like skin and bones so hard to say or just try maintaing

My friend takes Adderall, and he said that he basically has to shove food down his throught (he's not a weight lifter). I guess that's all you can do; stay on a bulk though IMO. I have considered talking to my doctor about taking Adderall to stay focused in school, but am afraid of this side effect. I think the reason I'm not as focused is b/c lack of sleep rather than a medical condition. Good luck man and just force yourself to eat.

Adderall is a mix of amphetamine salts. Its a stimulant, a serious stimulant. It speeds your metabolism and increases cortisol output. You will have to increase your caloric consumption, which may be difficult, since stimulants also decrease appetite.
