any of you guys use caffiene before powerlifting competitons?

[dzuljas]

i dont believe that caffiene is banned by the usada and ioc, u can take it but only up to a certain concentration.....im pretty sure the ioc limit is 12mg per 1 ml in the urine

okay, yah. but not anymore !!

think pseudoephedrine waas also allowed, due to athletes taking cold pills, and failing drug tests

IOC has caff. banned. along with everything else.

What exactly do you guys mean by "real ephedrine"... how does it differ from the ephedrine HCL available and legal in the USA?

I really don't know. I just have a buddy who takes it like 3x a day...every day. I guess it is also used to make meth...no idea.

The tabs he had were TINY and he had like a million in one bottle...lol. I wasn't really interested in them since I'll never take them. I couldn't imagine taking something like that...not that strong. I wouldn't sleep for a week...lol.

Hmm... regular epedrine and pseudoephedrine sold at gas stations, etc., can also be used in meth labs.
All I can think of that is not available in the states is norepedrine that used to be in the old NYC stacks.

Every day is a competition for me. Against myself. I use two "Speed Stacks" on my heavy days. They have lots of ephedrine and caffiene plus a few other stimulants.
