    Water works for me. I will use caffeine if I am feeling really sluggish.

    I always stop and pick up a Red Bull (sugar free) and pop a couple ephedrine in my mouth which is 50 mg before I lift.

    Caffeine tabs work for a pre-workout boost. IMO, they beat ephedrine and clen .

    I used to take the old Ripped Fuel when it had ephedra. I still have some ephedra based stuff left, but I rarely take it. If I need an extra boost I take two or three scoops of NO-Xplode. I always drink lots of water though because I get dehydrated easily - especially if I take any stimulants.

    bro I took like 2 years off ephedrine/caffeine, and when I started taking it again, its like I don't want to go to the gym without it. IT can be addicting. Don't take it if you feel you don't have to. Usually when bulking I never take it, but while dieting I do.

    its more of a psychological dependence "mind over matter" i take an eca before i workout but if i dont it just take me a little longer to get started then im fine!

    I think No-Explode works well, but made me go crazy! Gave me some insane energy bursts, but i would tend to feel light headed and a little naseous. I stick with black coffee and carbs now.

    ephedra works really well. i haven't used it so much lately... but back when i was playing basketball, it turned me into an animal, had TONS of extra energy. This thread reminds me of that feeling again... maybe I'll get some more

    Never heard of NoExplode but I love ECA, I just can't use it as a fat burner.. I get use to it too fast that way...
