Xpel and EC Stack

Hey everyone, i have a quick question I'm hoping you all can help me out with, i am currently doing a EC run and have seen unimaginable progress. Cycling for the last few months, 3.5 exactly, i have dropped from 250lbs bw to 198lbs bw, increased strength and really shredded a **** ton of fat and water so far.

Its been a remarkable past few months but i want to try something new to really get some deep cuts showing through (something i have never had), but before i go ahead and experiment i thought this would be the best place to come and see if any of you have tried or had experience with this combo.

I have been off EC for about a week, no weight gain/loss, no diminished training, just pumping away as usual and programming is going great. Before i get questions on this specifically i hope i can put to ease that my Diet is on point, i have been strict with my macros for months from day 1 till now, so that is never a problem for me.

Brass tax: Basically i want to continue to lose body fat and shed water in the process, i have continued to drop sodium at a steady and safe pace from my diet as to not induce cramping and keep my training at a level of proficiency that i am accustomed too. The stack i want to run for 12 days is below. Let me know what people think and if its safe/you have had experience with it.

Xpel - 8/day (4/2x Daily)
Caffeine - 400mg (100mg/4x Daily)
Ephedrine HCL - 100mg (25mg/ 4x Daily)
Aspirin - 200mg (Preworkout with one dose of EC)

I have done this ECA just not with the Xpel, i drink a **** ton of water so that's not the issue, my worry is on sodium levels and potassium intake? Should i eat more potassium/sodium when doing this?

I have never tried Xpel heard mixed things hoping you guys can shed light on this for, thanks.
 
xgels worked well for me last year but it's only water, such a temporary fix, it's good if your lower bodyfat

good if your going to the beach for a day or two...stuff like that, contests, etc
 
If your not looking to compete and your not sub 8% or so there is no need to try a xpel IMHO.

and 3.5 months on ECA with out a break your beta- receptors are toast take some time off 10-14 days run something to cleanse the receptors and it may help reboot the weight loss.

I really wouldn't mess with water while on ephedrine and training. But that's just me.

Just trying to find the reasoning behind why or why not, can you give me specifics behind your thought? Thanks

I meant to say i was on an off for 3.5 months, i did do the Benadryl Cleanse for a bit but i dont know if it worked or not TBH. I basically want to cut water for two main reasons, aestethics for my trip to the shore with alot of old friends i havent seen in a while lol (selfish short term goal/ego boost) and also basically to see where im at physique and tone wise without all the added water bloat that i know i retain, i have always had an issue with water bloat, and really this quick fix will show me if i need to diet for another month or if i need to push it longer.

Thanks again guys.
 
i see, ephedrine can dehydrate you and adding a diuretic will make this worst the muscle cramps from it are brutal and not worth it. are you cycling the ECA right now and plan on the xpel at the same time that is just bad news and taxing on your body

yea we all do this for ego in some way or another i get it but you should always diet and push as hard as you can in the gym supps are not magic my man

Alright yeah i see the point, i havent noticed any dehydration with Cycling EC personally but ive heard of people having issues with it, i drink alot of water never count it honestly but just know its an insane amount. I train hard not a beginner in any sense of the word been at it a long time just never really focused seriously on a diet drug regimen until now (mainly because in the beginning i just wanted to perma bulk lol). If dehydration is the worst of it i think just more water and possibly throwing in BCAA and adding Electrolytes would help that but maybe ill just run the Xpel alone see how it feels and jump back onto my EC after, the added 10-12 day break will prob be better for me in the long term regardless.

pretty much this

OP - why? you do realize this is only a temporary illusion right..as mentioned, only really applicable when getting up on stage and wanting to wring out that last bit of water

and i rarely say anything bad about any products, but truth be told - xpel is the last product i would seek to use, should i be in the position to need the use for one to begin with....just saying

I realize that this is temporary. For subc water then what would you suggest? Curious, thank you for your input though

i would delve further into nutritional understanding, and the personal understanding of your own body metabolism in relation to the finite control of dietary manipulation over extended period of time....
shaping & sculpting the body is a marathon, not a sprint
 
dandelion root tea is one of the best natural diuretic try that if your strung up on using something to help with subQ water

agree here - if you must bother worrying about the issue, then dandelion root has some very cool uses in addition to just aiding in sub-q water elimination
 
I just used xpel and wasn't too impressed. I added in dandelion root though and the water started to come right out of my pee hole lol.
