Ephedra question

[reichertc2009]

I'm currentlly taking 30/300 ephedra/caffine pills twice daily, question is should I stilltake any on my days I don't train?

Assuming your EC stack is for fat loss,yes.
It should be cycled appropriately and taken on empty stomach for best results. Even off days. This is how I have taken similar stacks,(ECA).

Old school use to be 2 days on, one off. This is supposed to keep your receptors clean so you do not have to increase the dosage because of the tolerance you build up if you take it everyday.

I always used a 325mg aspirin with caffeine already in it. I think the brand was Bayer.

On an empty stomach?... I was told with food, I guess I'll have to look n to that a bit more, yes I'm tryin to loose some fat n get to about 10% bf before my next bulkin cycle, I'm currentlly ~13%...I've lost 8lbs n 1 1/2 weeks so far. N just started EC stack three days ago to boost my fat loss. Only plan on doin EC stack for 4-6 weeks. That being said should I cycle 2 day on 1 off like said in previous comment.?

You're not going to like my advice, but I'm going to give it anyway. Get off the stimulants ASAP. Any loss made with the use of stimulants is going to come right back once you stop taking them. Taking ephedra, caffine, and aspirin is dangerous for your heart. Oh, and don't get cut because you won't clot worth a shit. Losing 8 lbs. in 1.5 weeks is not necessarily a good thing. My guess is that you have lost 4.8 lbs. of muscle and 3.2 lbs of fat. If you want to lose body fat the only right way is cardio and proper diet. Trying to cheat with stimulants will cause muscle loss, heart issues, and lackluster long term results.

I took ephedra last AAS cycle, and my heart was uncontrollably fast at night when I'd try to sleep. Now it's so slow in comparison. I'd say it works well, I've used it in the past successfully for fat loss many times, but it wore me out (I took it for 3 months ED). I'd take Unisom's Diphenhydramine 50mg tabs at night in an attempt to clear my beta 2 adrenergic receptors and prevent downregulation. I'd say it actually worked. The ephedra still had it's kick day after day. But it wore the crap out of me and I wonder if it contributed to an injury I had while lifting.

It's also a bitch to quit taking. I'll say that for sure. After 3 months, it took at least 2 weeks for the lethargy to go away.

Ok I'll take it ED for 8-10 weeks. Then stop, but one more thing, while taking ephedra I do 25 min cardio before and 25 min cardio after weight trianing. Is that too much cardio or is that just fine?
