ya, all three of them are used together cut fat, it increases workout intensity and performance a bit too. Stacking all three is commonly called ECA for short.

Weird thing is that Ephedrine is marketed as a nasal decongestant :dunno:

Dude that is insane.. the only supplements I use are Whey protein, and Dextrose (soon), I get most of what I need from food.. eat alot maybe when im dieting I'll go on ephederine other then that thats way too much.
:eek:

and whats that powder gatorade? use it with protein after working out?

I take Creatine, Whey Protein and Vaso XP... like ggunit said, you list is a little extensive... with a proper daily diet you can eliminate some of those.

Wow, Wildcat, you have quite the supplement combination going there.

Right now I use Nature's Best Iso-Pro (ultra low carb formula).

I also have Nature's Best XX-Cell Creatine or wahtever its called, and GNCs amino acid mix in my fridge, but im currently not taking them right now.

I also make my own stack with ephedrine and caffeine. 200MG caffeine and 20 mg ephedrine. I don't use asprin... but do you think that would help much if I did? Thanks.

asprin just increases the effectiveness of the eph and caff, im taking the regular asprin but i really should be taking something less than that. most guys take 2 baby asprin which is like 85mg each.

concerning my diet for those who are interested; keep in mind that this is all only supplementing my diet. i have 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of broccoli cuts, and a 6oz chicken breast 5 times a day and a cup of oats for breakfast with 8-10 litres of water daily.

gggunit; i take the gatorade DURING the workout for a little energy boost. When surgar burns off it increases my appetite, so when i come out of training im hungry as hell.

edit: all in all im consuming 322-345 grams of protein daily, 165 (half) of which comes from my food.

ephedrine, caffeine, and asprin are all listed drugs. So them not being effective isnt argueable. Its not like theyre herbal-mumbo-jumbo. If you had a whole bottle of either three of those at once, you'd more than likely die. If you had a whole bottle of bamboo root or some junk, youd probly get the shits and thats about it. Brands arent really consequential, your buying the same drug no matter what, so just shop for value, thats what i do.

^ True, it is impossible for most people to increase lean body mass while decreasing body fat. However some people are capable of this but only a very small percentage. I do not belong to this miniscule percentage. But it's winter right I don't care about being super cut as long as I still have some tone. When summer is near, thats when I'll start chizlin my way to a more defined physique:thumbsup:

01-11-2005, 02:32 AM
it seems as if a lot of people use dextrose, what exactually does that do for you?

rahim
01-11-2005, 02:48 AM
its just sugar, your muscles burn glycogen while you workout, dextrose is a high GI carb that replenishes your bodies stores, it also causes more of an insulin spike then table sugar or something like a fruit which barly raises insulin levels at all. Insulin tells your body to go into storage mode. So if after your workouts you have some dextrose with your protein shake (creatine too for some people), not only do you resupply your stores, you also force your body to send all the protein and creatine you just ingested straight to your muscles.

Dextrose is also used as a transport for creatine I think. Either that or to help absorption. It recommended to take with Creatine anyway.

Lately my supplement use is low.

NHF Protein. (I was trying to shoot for 50g of protein a day)
Nature's Best XX-Cell Creatine (1 scoop per day)

I haven't been to the gym much lately so I haven't been taking this stuff.

if im 200lbs i should be shooting for 400g of protein daily. rahim is right, a 300lbs BB in the off season would be consuming over 600g of protein at least. and if you workout 9 times a week like i do, youll need it.

Probably the best on the market.

One of the best multi-vitamins on the market, if not the best.

I'm not sure on the glutamine and taurine but the Caffeine in the ECA stack will cut the effects of the creatine, they're working against eachother because the caffeine will try to cut all your water weight and just end up cutting your strength, so it might be a better idea to leave the ECA until your done with the creatine.

Hey with your Ephedrine, even if you buy over the net from Popeyes and pay shipping you still end up paying less than full price going into the store? I wasn't sure if their online prices were the same as their store prices on the ephedrine, some of their products are, some aren't.

Anyways, right now I'm just finishing up my last bit of whey, BioX orange creamsicle, don't buy it, 2 weeks and you'll want to boycott BioX, it's that bad, and my last bit of creatine. Next is just regular ON Whey, EC, maybe ECA stack, omega 3-6-9's if I don't go with the ECA, and just regular EC. When I'm done with the cut I'm going to try out Natural Sports Creatine, and maybe that Testosterogain, couple guys I know have had some great results on it.

split body workouts of course. everything is done only once every 6 days except back and abs are trained twice every 6 days, as they are composed of multiple muscles and require multiple movements.

-glutamine and taurine are just carriers for the creatine, one will effect the other. so yes, ive decided to do the ECA later.

-ya, keep checking out the website, theres quite a few specials/offers/deals on things (but not everything) and you can save alot of money.

-i have not tried any bioX products other than their caffeine and ephedrine, thanks for the info.
-taking the asprin is optional in ECA, it just optomizes the effects of the drugs and you'll get more for what you pay for. take 2 baby asprin BTW (if your going to go that route).
-as for this testosterogain, it sounds like an off the shelf pro-hormone. these things either dont work at all, or are new products that are (soon to be illegal) extremely bad for you.

im debating adding the asprin to mine or not.

200 lbs and 6'3? wow... i am 233 lbs and im 6'2, i do have a fair bit of body fat but not exsessive amounts... gunna get a body comp. done in a few weeks so i know my bf percentage and stuff like that.

id take one 200mg caff, three 8mg eph, two 83mg baby asprin. Take all those three times a day and make sure you take the last dose sometime before 5:00pm otherwise itll fuck up your sleep. and ya i dont have any body fat, if i could guess it would be less than 10 maybe 8 percent. im not gigantic either, ive just starting to take BB'n seriously the last 2 years, im only 19 i really shouldnt be doing what im doing until im 21ish. still, have a decade until i can become ready to compete.

Yeah, well I take 3-6-9's eh, cause I cannot stand fish, and they have fish oil in it, and I can't remember the exact interaction but because aspirin thins the blood, fish oil doesn't interact well at all in the system with thin blood.

Testosterogain is a Tribulus pH stack with Chrysin by Probuilt. It pretty much cuts the production of excess testosterone in the system being turned into estrogen to keep a decent balance, so you get a big test. boost. I don't see it being banned though as there's been no side effects with it so far like steroids or chemical stack pH's, or HGH's. It's like creatine, works for some people, others it doesn't, if your body produces alot of test. but more than should be gets turned into estrogen and gives you that still buff but soft look you can get some good results on it with the extra boost, gain LMM and still cut fat, so if you got good genes, your set. All depends I suppose, never cut it till you try it.

ahhh tribulus, im very familiar with that. its intended to be used as a post cycle supplement to stimulate the body into getting test levels back to normal and to avoid estorgen related side effects from steroids. i say dont bother using it unless its for that purpose, you wont get the results your paying for.


anyways...what has fish oil in it?

People who have low test. levels naturally can benefit from Tribulus though - which probably explains why some see results (The ones that aren't mental).

It was told by your people at Popeyes in Calgary. I was going to get BioX power meal with had 48g of protein and they told me something like your body cant take that much in at once, and to go with some brand they had on sale which only had 24g of protein. He also said that Nlarge which has 52g is useless and that I would piss it out

If i take a measuring tape and wrap it around my bicep in the largest part of the peak its 16 inches.

I haven't been doing much weight training in the last 3 weeks, like 3 times a week IF that, but I've been playing 1.5 hours of squash everyday, I usually take my EC stack before this.

I'm wanting to get more lean, maybe on monday I'll thorw the asprin into the mix and increase it to twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

the GNC guy was right (surprisingly) use it everyday, how much do you take? after the first 2 weeks you wouldn't need more then 1/2 tsp daily

I have read numerous articles on loading and they say it is useless and the gains are the same after about 4-6 weeks....so I really did not do any kind of loading phase.

But I take 1 rounded teaspoon with grape juice towards the end of my workout or just after, 3 x per week.

Thx.:)

ya your wasting your money "loading". take it once a day (morning) when your not training, and when you are training take it once in the morning and again right after your workout.

I have Isolate Whey Protein, and I've also started taking a product called "Tight!" by SAN... Ephedra free, basically the same as an ECA stack but much safer. I also started taking BioSculpt at night... you can google it to see what it's all about.

I kind of agree with you about supplements being a waste but I can't tell from your grammar if you are 12 years or older.

I have never taken supplements outside of a multivitamin ever. Such a waste of money. I see these guy in the gym on that stuff that work out 4 - 5 days a week. I work out three days a week and am stronger than 95% of the people in there that aren't juiced on illegal substances. I get guys aksing me all the time what I'm on and I tell them "a proper diet fruit & vegatables".

It's the equvalent of say an oil supplement for your engine. Engine manufacturers say that they are not required as the engine was engineered to run on regular oil, yet people will shell out $$$ for additives because the additive claims your engine will last forever or add 5 hp. In alot of cases the additives will do nothing but shorten the long term life of the engine. Get the point.:burnout:

right now its pretty basic. centrum strength vitamens morining and night. 1 scoop of GNC mass builder in the morning for some quick carbs and protein in the morning after a night of fasting. and then some "whey gourmet" after a workout (its shitty but was on sale :dunno:)

though its summer, so this is my lax time. ( iknow tis weird, but i go south in the winter, so thats when i like to be cut and do my other supplements like creatine etc.)
