It's supposed to be "synergistic" - I don't have a history of the combo to hand.  I do know that some people skip it or replace the aspirin with yohimbine (the "ECY stack").  One of the main effects apart from stimulation is appetite suppresion, and I suspect the aspirin may be part of that.  Appetite suppression is a risk with any stimulant/exercise combo, because you can simply forget to eat until you bonk.  Discipline is required.
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

Perhaps we could all chip in and buy you a line or even a bag for an experiment?




Hang on, no, that would be supply.



I would be joining F4J then as Mrs G would kick me out for being so stoopid.  ;D

Aspirin inhibits prostaglandin production outside of the cells, which, in conjunction with caffeine, greatly prolongs the thermogenic effects and increased metabolism by sustaining elevated cAMP levels.
