Duromine is the brand name of the chemical stimulant phentermine. Chemically similar to amphetamine, it's used for it's strong appetite suppressing qualities.

Pre-workouts had contained DMAA, a tame stimulant, but it's since been banned and now they just contain caffeine and a bunch of other equally useless stuff.

Safe and scientifically proven to improve strength and recovery. Doesn't work for everyone though.

So what is the difference between using that to improve strength and recovery in order to bulk up and using duromine to lose weight?

You're actually trying to compare creatine, a naturally occuring compound, with phentermine, an artificial amphetamine-related compound?

Does it make you lose all body hair and turns you a Willy Wonka shade of orange, whilst forcing you to wear short shorts and a single that has barely any material under the arms?

Never said that. Never said I was totally against duromine. My only argument is that it doesn't teach you about diet, nutrition, willpower, discipline etc. It suppresses your appetite artificially, so the drawback is that - having not taught yourself about good nutrition and discipline - you fall back into old habits once off the drug.

Why would you take any kind of stimulant near the end of a marathon. She ****** up, not the chemical.

Pre-workouts are a scam anyway, waste of money.
