Just wondering, I've heard many times over of it's muscle sparing effects so I felt comfortable dieting with it there to spare my earnings however last night at a bodybuilding show I was sitting next to a member of my gym and we were exchanging cycling theories and he said that while eca is great he always keeps tabs on his progress because he said it had cut into his gains. I personally feel that his diet was probably off and that's why he lost more muscle than expected, just wondering what you guys thought about it. layed ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, ECA SHIT SUPRESSES BY APPETITE A GREAT DEAL(THATS WHY I LOOSE SOME MUSCLE IN OR OUT OF A CYCLE). YOUR FRIEND MAY HAVE LOST MUSCLE BECAUSE HE DIDNT EAT THAT WELL DURING HES CYCLE. OTHER THAN THAT, AN ECA DOES NOT HAVE ANY COMPOUNDS THAT SUPRESS MUSCLE GAINS. ONLY APPETITE SUPRESSION WHICH IMO IS LETHAL FOR OPTIMAL MUSCLE GROWTH DURING A CYCLE. SOME PEOPLE HOWEVER DO NOT GET THEIR GUTS THAT SUPRESSED, SO BY ALL MEANS, IF YOU MANAGE TO CONTINUE EATING THEN GO AHEAD AND USE IT TO BURN YOUR FAT. ------------------ I am Conan, the Ironbarbarian back from the deep dark hell! ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Ephedrine stimulates the beta-2 recepetors which are involved in protein synthesis. Therefore, ephedrine increases protein turnover, leading to more protein being built from aino-acids. More protein made=less muscle lost while dieting. Hence the term anti-catabolic is used or ephedrine. Godspeed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
