ECA? Diuresis? something else too?
its kinda funny with me, currently im about 11.4% BF and CKD hoping to get in the 5-6% range. funny thing is, 2 weeks ago, they were both coming out nicely and i even had them showing up without working out (i was about 12.9%BF then).
although it seems purely logical to conclude that they come out better, it's been kinda disheartening to see that for the past 2 weeks, they haven't come out. if it weren't for the fact that i know that im still improving (lifting more), dieting better (holding closer to my ideal intakes, not too much, not too little), and still getting tore up after my workout days, i'd be discouraged.....
well, maybe it's the ephedrine, or the diuresis that it promotes, since the only thing i can guess that would change my chemistry so much would be the ECA stack i started using a few weeks ago.
maybe others have noticed that ECA makes the vein go away? or maybe other semi-diuretic products do the same?
but then again, CKD is fairly diuretic in some ways too (glycogen depletion means you lose lots of water too), so i can't be entirely certain if waterloss is the reason for the lost veins ... but in the end, im sure that at my target BF, they'll come back again
