    What time of day should I take ECA if I work out late?

    What time of the day should I take ECA if I work out at 7:00 pm? I don't wanna be up all night and not be able to sleep, but don't wanna have it wear off before lifting, either. I'm think about 5:00. What do you think, too early? Too late? Any recommendations? Thanks.

    You should be fine taking it at 5pm. What time do you usually go to bed? Are you sensitive to stimulants?

    When I am on it I always take it 28/200/81 x 3/day:
    7am, 12:30-1:30pm and then just before I hit the gym (typically between 7-8pm). I don't have any problems with getting to sleep around 10-11pm.

    It's just going to be something you will have to experiment with.

    are you taking it for cal burning or pre workout?

    cal burning then you need more then once a day

    or just for preworkout then I'd take it at 6 if training at 7, you wont have much a tolerance since it only 3-5 times a week and it may effect your sleep, i know people who it does/dosnt

    you will just have to try it and see what happens

    Taking it for prework.

    I guess I'll try taking it at 6 when I get back from work, and if I'm up all night, I'll learn not to do it again. Just started taking ECA instead. The first time I took it at noon on a weekend and was wired until like midnight. I tried it again two days later and barely felt it. I wonder how fast your noredrenaline stores come back.
