Ephedrine HCl

[anthrax]

Do you use Eph HCl when doing high intensity cardio ?

I tried it for long cardio session at medium intensity and it helped but what about it for a shorter session where your heart is already in the 140-190 range ?

I was just going to post somthing like that, becuase I also have tried long cardio session at medium intensity.
Anyone?

I use it, and I use a lot of it.

I do cardio almost every morning.

An hour before lifting, I take 60 MG.

On intense cardio (track), I take 80 MG an hour before. On lighter ones I take 60 an hour before.

So I take between 120 and 140 MG a day. I may increment it up.

I suggest you start with 40 mg and see what happens.

So I take between 60

oh, and f-ing a, drink a ton of water. When using ephedrine you need to drink a lot or it will kill you. Literally. Idiots who dehydrated is why ephedra got banned.

The test is this - clear urine. Make sure you keep your urine clear.

That's alot of Ephedrine !

Do you combine it w/ caffeine to produce a synergetic effect ?

 

[brunette]

always, before cardio, with an espresso just in case

Yes, I do combine it with a vivarin. This week I'm trying to get 20mg of the E from a thermogenic that has a caffine blend (Themo Hydroxycdrine - the stuff with the E hcl) and some other questionable stuff.

But note that caffiene is a diuretic, making your body loose more water than it would otherwise. You need to drink more water.

Geeze, I take 1 tab (20mg) about 15 minutes prior....can't imagine much more than that.....

Have you been doing this a long time? Have you NOT attenutated to this amount yet?

That's the problem with ANY stim.....you need more, and more and more to achieve the same "effects". Then, Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome (over-taxing of the CNS) becomes INEVITABLE! And that's no fun (been there).

Also: try some green tea in place of the caffeine.....more fat-burning effects (Brown Adipose Tissue) and healthy polyphenols and EGCG's.

That post was a long long time ago in a galaxy far away.

I have since quit Ephedrine. Twice. And it was banned. And unbanned.

I currently don't use it except for races and I might use it in the gym again.

The reason I don't use it for TRAINING is because I am not sure I derive a benefit and because it throws my HR off, and I use the HR zones to train. It makes my HR artificially high. And I have a hard enough time keeping it in Z2 to begin with.

Races, yes. Before the gym, maybe. Still thinking about that one.

I do use some Caffiene but have cut back a lot.
