    ECA or YCA stack…options.

    I'll make it short and sweet. I'm either going to do an ECA stack using Bronkaid and the typical tapering schedule or a YCA stack using Yohimbine HCL @ 15mg/day split in 3 doses. Caffeine and aspirin would be the same for both: 200mg caffeine 3x daily, and 1 baby aspirin 3x daily. Also...

    DipStrong's NEW and (hopefully) Improved Log

    2 Weeks in and My Thoughts

    I'm only 2 weeks in to my bulk and it seems like I've either gained weight too quickly or that I'm holding insane amounts of water for some reason.

    Prescription Medications Affecting My Bulk?
