    Arrow e.c.a stack question

    ok so im going to start taking the e.c.a stack with 25mg/200mg/81mg respectively but how many times a day do you take it and what are the best times.
    i've heard 3 times a day, once with breakfast, once with lunch and the other pre workout

    Be very careful man, i hate ephedra because of the chest pains/problems it gave me. BE CAREFUL, stop at the first sign of problems, stop everything.

    i took it 3x a day and don't take it for up to hours before you sleep or you'll be up all night....remember to cycle on and off too or you'll wear our your receptors...keep in mind what Skullsmasher said especially if this is your first time using it cuz i remember getting sides almost like an anxiety attack

    Sounds good to me, just listen to your body and if 3x a day seems to much, simply drop it to 2x a day..i personally only use it 1x a day to get me started.

    Like said above, maybe try 1 week on 1 week off...maybe even 2 on/2 off...see what works for you.

    I only take it before workout as a boost now, but I have taken it 2x daily. If I took it a third I would have trouble sleeping.

    I have had chest pains when using ECA with clen , so I stay away from clen when using ECA. I would use the ECA first thing in the morning and preworkout. I have used it when dieting up to 3 times per day and as above had trouble sleeping.

    Firstly, as alluded to above there can be complications for this reason more sensitive people or those with pre-existing heart conditions should not take it.

    However, for the novice Ephedra user tolerance (which in this case is a good thing) takes time. Thus…DON’T START WITH A FULL SERVING! I cannot emphasize this enough…DON’T DO IT! You can purchase empty capsules and change the servings to a half, or a third. Before the flaming begins, let me state, this won’t be exact but you’ll get close enough.

    Secondly, the timing question you posited is more of a spacing issue. For instance, if you tried the proposed breakfast, lunch and pre-workout times, it would matter when the workout occurred.

    When taking three doses daily (half or thirds for the novice), learn how long your blend works for you, and space them accordingly. Typically, 4-6 hours or something like: 7-11-3; 7-1-5. DON’T take the last dose too late or it’ll keep you awake. If you must workout late say, 8 or 9pm then coordinate your last servings’ energy with your work out times’ conclusion. For example, if your blend keeps you charged for 5 hours and you work out from 8-10pm, administering it at 4:30-5pm gives you two hours of formula to burn through during your workout both end at 10pm. You’ll learn how to manipulate it best with time.

    Generally the aforementioned (by others chest pain) is a result of using Ephedra with vigorous exercise, but this can also be felt as nausea or shortness of breath during intense lifting. Again moderate your servings.

    Clen and Ephedra are very similar compounds, the former being stronger, so mixing them is redundant and likely caused Big Bapper to overdose his servings. This would, with or without exercise cause any of the above side effects.
