ECA Stacks

[syntekz]

Need some information on the recomended dosing of ECA Stacks.

Previously I took them only before my workouts. I figured this was a waste of money because I only took it for the energy boost.

Pay 4 bucks for no doz; or 15 bucks for thermodrene. You choose.

I'm going to start dieting down. In hopes that I'll be LEAN by december. When should i be taking these ECA stack pills. And what exactly do they do?


:help:

As far as I know, ECA works by stacking several compounds together that have a synergistic effect as a fat-burner/energy booster. namely:

ephedrin (or synephedrine, which is kinda crap imho)
caffeine
aspirin

Some companies throw in extra stuff in their ECA stacks but basically this is the main effective bulk

Anyways, try using them

1 in the morning (especially if u do morning cardio, take 'em before)

2 before workouts

3 if u wanna cut down on your calorie intake, taking ECA an hour or so before meals could lower your appetite

On a side note, take caution in

1 taking them after late afternoon. Personally, i have trouble sleeping at night if i take 'em too late in the day

2 taking too much at one go initially. Once i tried the full dosage of an ECA (xenadrine) on my first go at it, and man, i was walking around light-headed, jittery, and my heart-rate was upping at full speed. -NOT- very comfortable, in fact, it got so strong I didn't feel like continuing my workout.

just my own opinion :p

They basicly increase your body temprature.

They can also mess with your emotions making you high one minute and low the next.

The one major benefit I've experianced with a ECA stack is the appitate supressent aspect.

They don't suppress my appetite at all for some reason. I just take 3 caps dymetadrine separated by 4-5 hours and it works just fine. Try taking 1-2g of tyrosine with each dose, kicks up the stimulating effects and appetite supressing effect, and tyrosine and caffiene have a synergistic effect. Makes the stack much more potent.
