Mostly a hardening effect with a decrease in recovery time. Of the 60% extract, I would recommend 3 grams or so a day.

The new 94% you can probably run 1.5-2 grams.

If it comes in bulk, I'll give it a whirl @ 3-4g/ED.

I have used ecdy in bulk a few times, and a 6 week run of anagen and didnt see any results that would lead me to believe it had a benificial effect. I did gain, but my diet and training were in order.

However, from doing a little more research, I found that the half life of ecdy is very short, and it should be dosed with protien to maximize the effects. I believe there was an ecdy thread here at AM that informed me of this. I have not yet tried a protocol like this, but I plan to in the near future.

As one of the resident ecdy whores, I am a firm believer that it works, but not in a traditional BB capacity. It is an ergogenic aid that helps in nutrient repartitioning, nitrogen retention, and endurance. It is not a mass builder, even though it is generally promoted as one.

Take the money you were going to spend on Ecty, and buy something worth it. Ecty was yesterdays news of over hyped crap along with HMB. I'm surprised GNC doesn't sell it. I used ecty at 900mg a day a few years ago and got absolutely nothing out of it.
