Ha i tried searching but the search doesnt let you just put in ECA

my question, and if i remember right this was covered a few months back by i want to say Rugger... but how long can you cycle ECA for? I know it used to be 2 weeks on 2 weeks off or no more than a month... and then several people posted that they were getting great results 8+ weeks

so how long can you cycle ECA for and how long is the best for results. Also would you do a week of benedryl on top of the ECA or something to rejuvenate the receptors?
 
here is an article i found

Dosing ECA for as long as 4-6 months?! You would almost have to do something to rejuvenate the receptors wouldn't you? Benedryl or reset ad?
 
Alright, since your bastards dont want to leave any feedback i am just going to have to matters into my own hands! I am going to diet for around a month, just to cut off some of the intial pounds... then I am gonna jump into an experiment EC cycle which will use some of the fundamental ideas from that article i posted... most noticeably the one about taking half a dose ever 2 or so, since the half life of ephedrine is supposed to be pretty short (2-3 hours)

So keep your eyes open, I will post a log in the weeks to come and link it in here. That way i can be your guys guinea pig!

Weight Loss. Short-term use of ephedrine, ephedrine plus caffeine, or dietary supplements containing ephedra with or without herbs containing caffeine is associated with a statistically significant increase in short-term weight loss (compared to placebo). The addition of caffeine to ephedrine is associated with a statistically significant modest increase in short-term weight loss. The observed effects on weight loss of ephedrine plus caffeine and ephedra-containing dietary supplements with or without herbs containing caffeine are approximately equivalent: a weight loss approximately two pounds per month greater than that with placebo, for up to four to six months. No studies have assessed the long-term effects of ephedrine or ephedra-containing dietary supplements on weight loss; the longest published treatment duration was six months.

Study concluded that:
Ephedrine and ephedra promote modest short-term weight loss (approximately 0.9 kg/mo more than placebo) in clinical trials. There are no data regarding long-term weight loss, and evidence to support use of ephedra for athletic performance is insufficient.

Does not really need to by cycled for physiological reasons. Actual weight loss attributable to 'E' is not substantial, however.
 
I can personally say that for me, this is what I experienced.

Week One Weight 275-fat @ss

After 6 months of Heavy ECA usage, I dropped to 182lbs.

***Note: Cardio was only light to non-existent. I didn't have any negative side effects except for my receptors became numb to stimulants. I ate that stuff like candy. Many days were over 100mg of ephedra. Long term side effects have yet to be seen. I can say that the weight I lost was muscle and fat. The rebound weight that I put on was rediculous. But I could have done more to prevent that, I was just lazy.
 
BUMP on this thread...

I'd also really like to know how long to be on an ECA stack before taking a break...

Also - is taking your ECA on cardio days only a way to be able to use the stack for a longer duration (say...2 months?)
 
I used ec in the past and on it now...I took and currently take 25mg of e and 200mg of c...2x a day as this was the max I could handle and had pretty good results...I plan on taking ec for 3 weeks and then taken 2 weeks off and maybe take some benadryl to help my receptors while off and then start the same cycle over...any thoughts?
Thanks!

I heard you can stay on your EC or ECA stack as long as you add some benadryl to it on about the 3rd week to optimize the receptors...however, I don't know if this information is correct!!

Anyone??
 
AS PROMISED! I SAID I WOULD TEST RUN THIS IDEOLOGY WITH EC!

I am going to run it for 2 weeks... dont want to interfere with my Controlled Labs Blue UP/Blue Gene Sponsored Log

Figured it will help with being sick (the expectorent in it)

but also I found another really good article on taking lower doses every 2 hours

So as of tomorrow I will be taking it as such

Day 1 - Morning Dose - 25mg E / 200mg C
Day 2 - Morning Dose - 25mg E / 200mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
Day 3 - Morning Dose - 25mg E / 200mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
Day 4 - Morning Dose - 25mg E / 200mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
Day 5 - Morning Dose - 25mg E / 200mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C
2 hours later - 12.5mg E / 100mg C

And then continue the day dosing for the duration of 2 weeks, or maybe start tapering down near the end... but this way I wont go over 75mg E a day and with the short half-life of Ephedrine it will be thriving in my system all day long

Thanks for the link to that article, and good luck with your 2 week run. I'm sure you'll see some decent results. Keep us posted
 
from personal experience, i'd try to stay away from running ECA for more than a month. Reason being you'll become numb to stimulants and they won't work well (you won't lose much weight) for you in the future. I've heard about trying to take benedryl to combat this but haven't tried it myself. However, I have noticed after cycling ECA several times its effectiveness seems to decrease.
 
i wouldnt suggest using it more than 3 weeks to a month. Beta receptors can be de-sensitized fairly quickly.
