ECA Stack

[StinkFist**]

Anyone still using this? I use to be a gym rat, but ever since I got married its been sporatic. Im getting back into training now and started looking at all the new supplements out there. Same crap different names. Looks like the tried and true stuff is still around (Creatine, whey protein, etc), but I cant tell if people still use the ECA stack. I assume since ephedrine is harder to come by now the stack may not be as popular. I also learned the Aspirin is of no benefit so its an EC stack now. Where do you get your ephedrine? I just picked up a box of Bronkaid. Anyone else use this?

I will be starting an Ephedra, Caffeine, Yohimbe stack in a week or so when I get back to school(where I have the components). If this thread is still alive I'll let you know how it goes.

Actually, some S&Pers have been using an ECA stack, or in my case, pECA. It's pretty cheap and seems to aid my workouts, so I'll continue for awhile.

I was using an EC stack for about a 1-1.5 weeks (in addition to piracetam, lecithin and vitamin B), and even at only 12.5mg it seemed pretty damn effective in terms of appetite suppression. I only used it as a pre-workout stim and the post workout meals got VERY difficult to eat. I've since cut the ephedrine and my appetite has returned full force. I think it'd be VERY useful for cutting and when I do go down that road, I'll be reintroducing it into my supplement regimen. For me though, while bulking ephedrine is just too much.

to answer your question though, yes. people are still using an ECA stack.

i use it. i like it for a pre-workout boost. i use it only every other day. you can get some shit done when you take that stuff bro.

I've been on this for quite awhile now. On and off of course. Went from about 292 to 260 at about 18% bf (that's my guess)
Kept all my strength so far too.

Defiantly start slow on it to see how your body reacts... This shit is no joke if you fuck around with it.

UPDATE: Its been about a week and a half since I started my ECY(yohimbe) stack. I've noticed a pretty significant change. I've dropped about 8 pounds(down to 190) or so but I've increased muscle(from lifting) so the amount of fat lost is higher than 8 pounds. Physically my gut has decrease. My top abdominal muscle is showing(if thats any indicator). So i still have a quite a bit left and I plan on using it so, wish me luck.

What kind of lecithin and how much of it are you taking?

I'm currently taking soy lecithin granules and that shit is disgusting (I'm not even the slightest bothered by greens drinks or ACV or anything else).

i take it thrice daily.. it helps me get thru a full time work load at school and training mma 6 days a week for a minimum of 2 hours and lifting, i love it.. might check out the ECY stack see how it goes..

I'd also be curious to hear where people get their ephedrine from. Search on google lead to more questions than answers.

I don't think it's too much, I'm pretty sure that pre-meal is when you're supposed to take it.

If your goal is fat loss When is best to take it? purely PreWO or just take one in the morning?

If your not worried about becoming an endurance athlete of any sort then ECA(or any other stim) is fine for just the general lifting/running work out. If you are training for endurance/increasing cardio then I wouldn't take it. Stims make the heart work harder while doing less work, exactly the opposite of what endurance athletes are trying to achieve. Nothing like finishing a round of sparring feeling like your heart is gonna explode. Bronkaid and sudafed work fine btw.

my Ephredrine is .25, which I'd think would be too much to take three times a day. I thought thats how Hydroxycut was killing soccer moms. They took like 3-4 capsules per day and died. If its only the .12 kind than i guess three times a day is fine. Idk, i'm not an expert

I did a EC stack (24mg Ephedrine/200mg caff in morning and 24 at around 4pm) mixed with fish oil for about 6 weeks. It sliced off an initial 10-12 pounds which is what I was looking for, but I stopped immediately once I started getting into serious fight training as I as concerned about the high heart rate and strain on my system. It seemed to work the way I wanted and really helped me get through my 9 hour work day as well.

 

[ace 227]

hey Nick, I actually know who you are. I used to train at Griffonrawl before I left for college. How are you?

 

[Nick Kilian]

EH things could be better I was supposed to have a fight tomorrow but I have a bad back injury and had to drop out last week. Sucks, I trained very hard for this fight. Hopefully physical therapy can help and get my training again soon

How many people has hydroxycut killed due to it's stimulant effects? and on the label I'm pretty sure it recommends 3 times a day.

This is a pretty big dig up but I've been trying to find ephedrine online and I can't find any anymore so I thought I'd look for updates. The only Ephedrine products I could find online are going for around $150 for only 24 .25g pills! Anyone have any suggestions on where to find cheaper shit? Also, I have no idea how many people Hydroxycut actually killed or if it ever killed anyone at all, I just was under the impression that Ephedra was removed from its formula because people were using it improperly, taking too much and not exercising, and it was having adverse effects on the hearts. I figured 3 times daily at .25g seemed like too much.
