Diet and strenght decrease...
I've been on my diet for 2 weeks now + 1 week before of calorie adjustment. I've taken ECA on this second week and I'm going to start on Clen preferrably next week...
Until now I've lost around 5.5lbs, 2" off my waist and 1/5" off my arms...
I've had some depressing strenght decrease this week: Today I failed on 720lbs leg presses on 4th rep (normally do 6-8 reps and I've NEVER failed on leg press before) and yesterday I was failing on bench with 90lbs dumbbells also on 4th rep where I normally do 6-8...
I've never done this kind of low carb diet before so I just want to know if this is to be expected or am I losing to much muscle or is it just due to no energy when eating low carbs???

If you low carb, you should never be hungry, or the diet won't work.
The ECA stacks should give you more energy. Are you taking them 30 minutes before you work out?

Well I'm eating 2800 calories a day and that is kinda low for me I guess... (eating 4000 and up when bulking...)
I've never heard anything about not restricting both carbs and cals and I never feel really hungry 'cos I'm eating 7 meals a day, so what are you suggesting??
About the ECA, I've found that to really get an energy kick I need to eat two of the ECA pills I currently use 30-60 mins before training (that's 50mg ephedrin i think) and I try not to eat too many 'cos then I can't fall asleep...

50 MG of ephidrine is a pretty big shot. Are you stacking it with caffine. ECA usually is 25MG ephidrive 200MG caffice and 325 mg asprin.

I'll get some clen very soon, so I'm a little excited to see if they work better...
thanks for your advice bro!

My experience has been much better with ephedrine than it has with ephedra. I know your body is SUPPOSED to convert the ephedra to ephedrine, but somehow I never really get the same kick out of the unsynthesized product.
I have had really good success with clen in the past but I look it as being an extension of one to the other. What I mean is that if you take either clen or eca continuosly, they lose thier effectiveness. I have had the best results by doing two weeks eca, 2 weeks clen, next two weeks eca, then two weeks clen, and keep repeating until you reach your goal.
I will make one more apeal to you to dump the ehedra, and get ephedrine. Its a little harder to find but its out there.
