Raises your heart rate, affects your appetite, fucks up your sleep patterns, gives you the shakes, helps you breath easier.......aside from all that, I wont ever use it again.

c'mon man, the shakes are half the fun! Shivering/convulsions burn calories :P

haha

Anyhow, yeah, as jdmakkord stated, it's pretty messed up. Was popular a few years ago, but there are better alternatives now.

Definatly want to stay away from it if you have a weak heart.

It's just like taking a high dosage of caffine. April 2006 will be officially banned though only prescribed :thumbsdow

Thanks guys, I heard it can help you run for way longer..is this true, also if it raises your heart rate is it dangerous to run with it?

00CivicSi

Well it gives you more energy like caffine (but stronger) and yeah it will raise your heart rate. As for running with it.... I personally wouldn't but I know alot of people who pops a few ephies and does cardio and says it's awsome.

i found the biggest advantage was how it opened up your airways. And it made me feel like i could go on for hours.

Why not work harder instead of using a stimulant as the easy way out? :dunno:

Training for a run, and seem to have plateued, been training hard but cant seem to break 5km in under 29 mins. I heard that Ephedrine can help you break plateaus (however the fuck you spell it), but incrasing air flow, but I was worried about the whole heart thing. Trust me I train hard, but after 3 months I cant seem to break this time. Getting V frustrated:(

more than likely, its available over the counter without a prescription. and sudafed is in 50mg doses, an already banned amount (>8mg) but its called "psuedo"ephedrine hydrochloride, whatever that means... watered down ephedrine? :dunno:

I run on a competitive team here in Calgary and have seen many other athletes use Ephedrine before a race, but never just as training tool.
Are you having trouble breathing during your runs or having problems with getting sore and muscle fatigue? If it's the latter of the two Ephedrine probably won't help much. If you are having trouble breathing however, try some short intense runs (ie. 600's at 90% max heart rate 10 times with 3 mintues rest in-between each). Hope this helps :thumbsup:

Been doing sprints, to almost max rate. Run for for 4 mins, then sprint for about 1 min - full out, then jog again. However I just cant seem to break that barrier.

I also want to shed another 10lbs to get a bit lighter, so I thought Ephedrine" was supposed to be this miracle plateau breaker. - Is it?

Ahhh okay I didn't see your age till now... Usher sucked that year, didn't we? lol

There was a big hoo haa over Thom's football team taking steroids and ephies in 2001... so I'm sure your coach had a right to snap!

Ok you prick, heres what happens.

The past week ive been using Ephedra STRAIGHT throughout my workouts, both cardio and weights.

I see my heart rate rise slightly on my partners heart rate monitor, nothing that concerns me, I sweat alot more and feel I focus better, quite possible its just the music or how im feeling that day lol

Its not as effective as using a complete ECA stack IMO, but definately noticeable.

Better numb nuts?:devil:

Thanks guys.....well I tried it, no good. Made me sweat more, actually had a crapier run and was way more tired. For those of you who wanna lose weight, this is probably a great way to go. I was eating like a crazy mofo for my time on it and still dropped lbs.

How long did you use it for?

He probably didn't use enough like everyone else now that they made the pills 8mg max. People have this idea stuck in their head that a couple pills is considered a dose, which is true for say aspirin since the manufacturer makes 1-2 pills in the correct amount to be effective... back in the day ephedrine came as 50mg caps 99% of the time and you took two of those to get the desired effect which is equal to what... like 13 8mg pills lol it just looks like too much because of the # of pills but its not...

it's not really an ppetite suppressant it draws blood from your stomach to larger muscle groups so yer stomach shrinks so u feel less hungry like when you wake up in the morning but you wind up eating more. If you used it for one day you probaly didn't get the full effect. Your first day on ephies are usually pretty shitty. You hafta use it for at least 3 days straight before your body is out of shock and can handle it. It's like drinking coffee, your first cup is always the best. The cups after doesn't feel like much

lastprodigy

02-07-2006, 05:24 PM

I agree with 00civicsi, i foudn that it makes you feel less hungry but end up eat more anyways because i know i am hungry and have sweated/worked more
