    Ephedrine good idea pre-workout?

    So far my 2 fav pre-workout supplement stacks have been Craze + Hemavol or Ephedrine + white flood

    The 2nd option is much cheaper and works just as well if not better. That would be the only time of the day I take the ephedrine @ 24mg on workout days only.

    Good idea?

    Take it 1-2 hours before working out, especially if youre doing cardio.
    Ive only used caffeine as a pre workout, eph doesn't give much of a buzz for me

    Personally, I cannot use ephedrine before any workout within 5hrs. I get woozy/lightheaded/want to puke if I dose E too close to training or an HIIT cardio session. On the other hand, dosing E before low intensity cardio (60-70% of mhr) has proved beneficial towards my goals.

    Anybody know about the effects of ephedrine on diabetics? My pharmacist said that being a diabetic I shouldnt take it because it would cause my sugars to become highly elevated. Not sure I believe him so Im trying to find some more info about it.

    I don't know why it would cause your blood sugar to become elevated...

    I personally take ECA (24/200/81) 2-3x daily with one of those times being directly before heading out to the gym. Sometimes I get light-headed if I am not hydrated enough but I typically have pretty intense workouts. I'd rather use E or/and C than one of those pre workout supps... Just my opinion.

    I know that Bronkaid is on the shelfs here in Florida. I was just coming here to check and see if that is the ephedrine I should buy. Is that what everybody uses? If not, which one?

    Im here DAD! lol

    I went to walgreens 2 weeks ago to pick some up and they still did not have it back on the shelves. I checked the bayer website this morning and it still says states shelves should be replenished by the end of February. I wont have to go for another week or 2, and will update in the mean time.

    I think though, once I do go, I'm sticking with the primatene/generic walgreens version (uncoated E-HCL). I love that they are not coated so I can "chew" em up a lil bit before swallowing, allowing the drug to "hit" faster. Either way when I go I'll update if they do/do not have it.

    Also, I checked Walgreens website, and they still do not have Bronkaid listed as being available/for sale (so I would go under the assumption Bayer is running a lil behind on replenishing the shelves)

    lol thanks son! I'm about to start running ECA again so I'll either get Bronkaid (if it's available) or just go with Primatene. Will update this thread as well.

    Yes go to Walgreens and ask for Bronkaid and if they don't have that they'll give you Primatene. Ephedrine in Bronkaid = 24mg, ephedrine in Primatene = 12mg (so you'll have to take two).

    180mg eph a day sometimes more like 130mg at once?
    Man you don't need that much.... I'd say 32mg MAX dosed 3x a day...especially since you're saying its making you tired.. More isn't better, would hate to see you setting yourself up for a jammer

    holy f sticks, agree CJ (congrats up the promo, red looks good on ya! ), 180mg/day is more than double the "norm" for an effective dose. Tone 'er down there IronWorker!!

    BTW, update on Bronkaid availibility, I went to a CVS this morning and they did not have any in stock. I checked the pharmacy at my grocery store afterwards (weekly shopping, 12 LBS of meat bought today, NOMNOM) and they did not have any in stock as well. Operation No-Bronkaid continues!

    Thank you lol the bottle is Black Mamba w/65mg Ephedra and it says you can take two if you build up to it I still dont understand why I would be sleepy on it I miss the old Xenadrine lol

    EPHEDRINE always kept me wired for too long then I would crash hard.
    Some people love it though but CLEN works best for me.

    They don't make eca stacks like they used to . Hydroxycut was fantastic.

    I went to CVS Monday, they still had none. They didn't even have their own brand so I got "stuck" with Primatene lol. Good to hear its starting to trickle back in though!

    Maybe Walgreens restocked faster than CVS...not sure, I've always gone to Walgreens.

    Yeah it's a controlled substance since people make meth from it. I always get kinda nervous buying it but then I think the pharmacist can hopefully tell I'm not a meth head. Not sure of many meth heads walking about at 250 lbs. @ around 10% bf! lol

    Just went to cvs while on my 930 coffee break and picked it up. Primatene... ECA stack is really nice, I've been thinking about trying it so I jumped in. Dosed just like ^^^JWP and it kicked in... Initially...BANG now it's mellow and streamline. I like it. What can I expect from this alone... FYI I have started my cdd diet and mediocre exercise program. Just want some info or personal exper..
