Cycling E/C/A ????
Hey guys i'm slowly starting to diet down and i'm trying not to lose too much at once, so hopefully i keep most of the muscle and lose most of the fat. Anyways, i decided to see how far an E/C/A and not eating carbs after 5:30 p.m would take me before moving into cycling carbs and eventually empty stomach cardio. I just started taking it this week, i got optidrene, basically 95% xenadrine except has some b vitamins instead of some the thermogenic herbs and is half as cheap. It seems to be working, i've lost just about 1lb in a week, which is my goal and i'm trying not to lose more then a pound a week.
Now besides making it a little more difficult to sleep, its been very beneficial, plus the extra boost in the morning helps since it is finals week. Now i didn't realize it, but is this something i should cycle? If so, how long should a cycle be and how much time between cycles? Is this something i should take every day while in a cycle or take it only 3-4 times a week during a cycle? I've also heard not to take it with cardio, but not sure about this. I also plan on competing, should i cut it out and if so when, a week before contest, day of contest?
Thanks for the help
p.s As u can tell i haven't taken an eca before, but i want to compete and i need all the help i can get.

i'm sure those threads where just advisory warnings if you have a heart condition. me personally experience a great lost of Bf while supplementing with eca. basic rule of thumb is two weeks on two weeks off. i took it everyday for the week did a hour cardio in the morning empty stomach fat just melted off

sorry it took me so long to get to this. The stuff i got i in a white bottle with a mostly red label and a red cap, comes in a 180 tab bottle. Also mine does not say optibolic on it like yours does.
Here's my ingredients:
Thiamin-30mg
riboflavin-30mg
niacin-30mg
B6- 50mg
B12- 50mcg
Ma Huang Herb Extract(ephedra) 330mg
Note ephedra sinica)(6% ephedrine alkaloids = 19.8 mg)
Guarana Seed Extract 200 mg
Note15% caffeine= 30 mg)
Schisandra Berry Powder 100mg <<< I beleive this is the aspirin
(schisandra chinensis)
Citrus aurantium fruit extract 100mg
Note: 4% synephrine=4mg
and cellulose.
Those are all the ingredients listed on the bottle, i'd look for a pic of it, but no time right now.
4 tabs per day does seem like a bit much though, especially if u have been cycling it your body shouldn't need that much.
